73: Standards Aren’t the Problem, Self-Abandonment Is

Let’s get something straight.If your standards feel “too much,”it’s not because they are.It’s because you’ve been abandoning yourself for so long that self-respect feels aggressive.This episode is not gentle.It’s not reassuring.And it’s not here to make you feel better about what you’re tolerating.It’s here to tell the truth.In this episode of You Have the Power – The Road to Truth, Freedom and Real Connection, Darla Ridilla dismantles the lie that standards scare men away and names what’s actually happening:You’re not losing men.You’re losing yourself.This conversation is for the woman who:Knows better but still accepts breadcrumbingExplains her needs instead of standing in themFeels resentment building and doesn’t know whyKeeps telling herself “it’s not that bad” when her body knows it isDarla shares raw, unfiltered stories about holding standards in real time, why emotionally unavailable men are repelled by embodied women, and the moment she crossed a value she had never crossed before because she couldn’t yet express her standards.Not because she didn’t have values.But because she didn’t yet have Presence.This episode will challenge you to look at:Where you soften instead of speakWhere you negotiate instead of chooseWhere you accept excuses instead of alignmentStandards are not rules for other people.They are the line you stop crossing back over when you’re tempted to betray yourself.You’re not too much.You’re just accepting too little.And if this feels confronting, good.That’s the sound of self-abandonment ending.If you’re done negotiating your standards, book a Magnetic Connections Call and move as the woman who chooses herself. Connect with Darla Ridilla: 🌐 Learn more about podcast mentoring and my 30-day podcast launch program: https://www.highvaluewoman.info/shareyourvoiceFree Course - You Have Something to Say: The 3 Shifts That Help You Stop Overthinking and Start Your Podcast - https://youtu.be/IcXzJDGDUtkWebsite: https://www.highvaluewoman.infoSign up for mailing list: https://www.highvaluewoman.info/connectFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61550835718631Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/highvaluewoman7/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@HighValueWoman-m7wLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/darla-ridilla-3179b110/Send me an email: [email protected]
