In the final episode of this February self-worth series, Dr. Raquel Yarroch breaks down why raising your standards isn’t about becoming harder on yourself—it’s about becoming more honest about what you will no longer tolerate. Standards are self-worth in action, and they can change your health, your relationships, and the way you lead your life.

You’ll learn the difference between expectations and standards, why high achievers often have high standards at work but low standards for their own energy and self-care, and a simple standard-setting framework (Notice → Name → New Standard → Next Step) you can use immediately. You’ll also hear a mind–body “Body Check” on how low standards can create chronic stress that shows up in your gut, sleep, hormones, and inflammation.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • Standards vs expectations (and why it matters)
  • How low standards create chronic stress in the body
  • 3 standard upgrades: self-talk, energy, relationships
  • The Notice → Name → New Standard → Next Step framework
  • One question to choose your next level of self-respect
