I spent years believing my standards were simply part of who I was, quietly upheld and best left unspoken. Yet what I uncovered was far less comfortable; many of them were shaped by a need for approval rather than genuine choice. We introverts can fall into the trap of assuming others will just know what good looks like, while we quietly measure them against invisible expectations.

That is not fairness, but misalignment waiting to happen. In this episode, I challenge the idea that staying low maintenance is helpful, and ask you to consider what your silence might actually be costing you and others. Because when we explain our standards with clarity and conviction, we create the conditions for trust, respect, and far better outcomes.
