What if the pressure to 'be better' is the very thing holding you back? On Higher Standards, we challenge the myth that self-compassion means lowering the bar — and show you how caring more, not less, is the secret to becoming the person you want to be.

Hosted by Shannon, registered nutritionist studying a diploma in Compassion Focused Therapy, this podcast is your space for honest conversations about self-worth, emotional eating, body image, and doing meaningful work without burning out. Whether you’re a coach, creative, or self-critical high-achiever, you’ll learn how to quiet your inner critic, commit with care, and finally feel like you're living a life that reflects your real values — not your fears.

Because the highest standard isn’t perfection. It’s treating yourself like someone who matters.

How to clothes shop for a positive body image (especially in summer)

Struggling with clothes shopping after gaining weight, or just not feeling totally at ease in your body right now? You're not alone.

In this episode of Stronger Standards, I’m answering a listener question: How do you clothes shop in a way that supports positive body image, especially during summer?

We’ll explore how to:

Shop without reinforcing shame or hiding away
Use personal style as a way to express confidence (even if you're not feeling it yet)
Gently experiment with clothes, accessories, and embodiment
Step into your compassionate, confident “movie character” self—without faking it or forcing it

This isn’t about pretending to love your body.

It’s about dressing in ways that help you feel a little more like yourself today, while still working toward the changes you care about.
