In this episode, I’m sharing a powerful realization that surfaced for me in my 40s: your standards shape everything in your life. From your business to your relationships, the energy you tolerate will always reflect what you believe you’re available for. I open up about the deeper shifts I’ve been experiencing over the last year—especially around what I’m no longer willing to carry, entertain, or overextend myself for—and how raising your standards often requires radical honesty with yourself first.
I also dive into what happens when you begin choosing alignment over obligation and stop holding onto dynamics that no longer support the woman you’re becoming. This conversation is about self-respect, identity, boundaries, and the courage it takes to let things either rise to meet you or fall away completely. If you’ve been feeling the tension between who you’ve been and who you’re evolving into, this episode will help you trust the changes you know you need to make.

QUOTABLES:
“ This small still voice that I started hearing a couple of years ago, and I think it had always been there. 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
