The ONE area of your life you can't compromise


"Don't compromise your standards in an attempt to appease those who aren't willing to improve theirs."

-Michele Mendoza


Hey there, Reader!

I've been on social media every day of October, and I'm not gonna lie, it's a lot!

A lot in so many different ways.

I've learned a lot about myself in my journey of overcoming the fear of being seen.

I've learned a lot about accepting and loving myself enough to not be discouraged and bogged down by the nay-sayers and cynics.

And I've learned about the liberation that comes from stepping into the fear head-on, knowing there is growth on the other side.

So to continue on the trend of showing up vulnerably, scared as shit, I recorded a video for you this week. Nothing fancy...I'm literally sitting in my car. 🤣 But I had a quick message about standards (and the importance of them) that I wanted to share. 🧡

xo,

Michele

"Every adversity, every failure, every heartache carries with it the seed of an equal or greater benefit." -Napoleon Hill Hey Reader. Mind if I jump right in? Sometimes life kicks our asses. We create a plan, we follow the guidelines, we believe we've got it all figured out. And then...life happens. We fail. We get rejected. The employer doesn't call. Or does, and it's bad news. We've all been there because hardship is universal; we all experience it. Unfortunately, we don't have control over...
