In this episode of The Life You Crave, Lia Pinelli invites you to take an honest, empowering look at the standards you’ve been living by — and the boundaries that protect your peace, your time, and your energy. If you’ve been tolerating “fine,” over-functioning, or carrying stress like it’s part of the job description, this conversation will shift everything.
Lia breaks down the difference between standards and boundaries in a simple, actionable way, showing how high standards become the foundation for your wellbeing, relationships, career, money, and overall self-leadership. She also shares personal stories and practical strategies for breaking the cycle of tolerating too much and abandoning your own needs.
You’ll learn how to:
Identify where your standards have slipped (and why it’s not your fault)
Create boundaries that support your highest self, not your stress
Plan ahead so your choices align with the woman you’re becoming
Build self-trust through aligned action, not perfection
This episode is a powerful reminder that you are the asset — and the life you crave begins with the standards you set and the boundaries you honor. Tune in to step into greater alignment, confidence, and personal power.
