What You Tolerate, You Eventually Embrace

94% of entrepreneurs admit to tolerating situations they know are harmful to their success. 

But here’s the kicker—only 12% actively work to change them.

What if the biggest obstacle to your growth isn’t your strategy or marketing, but the things you’ve learned to accept as “normal”?

In this episode, I dive into:

• Why your standards—not your strategies—determine your success
• The four most common areas of misalignment that cost you the most
• How to identify and break free from patterns that keep you stuck
• Why boundaries aren’t about saying NO—they’re about making space for better YESSES
• A simple 4-step process to bring your business and life into alignment
• How taking action on small shifts builds unshakable confidence

If you’ve ever felt stuck, drained, or like you’re constantly over-delivering without fulfillment, this episode will show you how to reset your standards and reclaim your energy.

Key Takeaways
✔ What you tolerate, you will eventually embrace. If you don’t change it now, it will define your future.
✔Your biggest obstacle isn’t strategy—it’s what you’ve learned to accept.
✔Tolerating misaligned clients, underpricing yourself, and ignoring boundaries costs you more than you think.
✔Boundaries aren’t about saying NO—they’re about creating space for what truly matters.
✔The four-step process to breaking free from bad patterns:

1. Audit what you’re currently tolerating. Identify red flags.
2. Decide on your new standard. What’s the highest version of you willing to accept?
3. Make a hard stop. If you wouldn’t embrace it long-term, stop tolerating it today.
4. Communicate and reinforce your boundaries. Hold yourself accountable to the new standard.
