When You Raise Your Standards, Everything Changes

In this episode, I’m getting real about a truth that’s been rising to the surface for me as I step into my 41st year: your tolerance will always be met by the standard you set. Over the past year and a half, I’ve been taking a hard look at the relationships, partnerships, and dynamics in my life—both personally and professionally—and realizing where I’ve been holding on out of comfort, history, or compassion, instead of true alignment. I share how I’ve been raising my standards, honoring my non-negotiables, and curating an energy that reflects the woman I am today. From spiritual maturity and emotional stability to lifestyle compatibility and respect for timing, I’m learning that when you honor your standards, you don’t lose people—you gain the right ones. If you’ve been feeling drained by certain relationships or dynamics, this conversation will help you see how raising your standard can shift everything. Liked this episode?

It just started to kind of get louder and the voice was telling me that I was going to start outgrowing a lot of things that no longer served me. A lot of things that had gotten me here, but they weren't going to get me where I was going.” - Julie Solomon  “ I am a work in progress friends. I am not perfect. I am learning and growing and expanding as I go, but I believe that the more accountability that we have to take stock of what no longer serves us and really have people that see that in us and honor those non-negotiables, the more that we can do it for others.” - Julie Solomon  RESOURCES: [JOIN MY VISIBILITY TRAINING] With just 1 hour a week, my proven content framework will help you refine your messaging and turn your offers into consistent, scalable sales.
