Why "Keeping the Peace" Is Stripping Your Peace | Trust Your Standards Ep. 3

How many times have you called it "keeping the peace" when you were really just staying silent? How many times have you questioned your own values instead of someone else's disrespect? In Episode 3 of The Nurtured Queen Podcast, Mi'Esha Fletcher gets into the difference between values and standards — and why most of us don't actually have a patience problem. We have a standards problem. Including a story from early in her corporate career where a supervisor told her to "learn to stay in a woman's place and better protect male egos" — and the way staying silent in that moment started the real damage.
