The Wheel of Balance

Balance is just critically important to human nature. We all know it, but often times we’re just out of balance.

Frame of reference. What it is, is what is your frame of reference of what’s acceptable or what your standards are. Oftentimes, we set our standards subconsciously a lot lower than we think. It really takes some diving into, some deep diving to see what that is.

In this episode, we take a deep look into what standards we are operating under and how we can uplevel our frame of reference to hold a life we actually want.
