In this Janette Behind-the-Scenes, I’m getting real about something I’ve learned the hard way — why settling for second best is never enough. Whether it’s a relationship that doesn’t value you, a deal that underpays you, or a situation that keeps you small — taking less than what you truly deserve chips away at your confidence and your power. 💔 I’ve been there — personally and professionally. It’s taken me years to understand that self-worth sets the standard for everything else. ✨ When you stop accepting crumbs, you make space for what’s truly meant for you — love that uplifts you, partnerships that respect you, and opportunities that reflect your value. 🎥 Tune in as I share real talk, personal lessons, and a message every woman needs to hear: You are not “too much” — you’ve just been asking for it from people who give too little.
