💋 Part 1: You Were Never Too Much—They Just Couldn’t Keep Up
✨ Introduction:
Let’s get one thing clear, babe — being “too much” was never the problem. Your laugh was too loud? Your dreams too big? Your boundaries too bold? No. What you were… was too powerful for the rooms that weren’t built to hold you.
You weren’t too sensitive. They were too emotionally unavailable.
You weren’t too ambitious. They were too afraid of your glow-up.
You weren’t too intense. They were just too used to dimming lightbulbs.
It’s time we reframe the narrative. Because you were never “too much” — they just couldn’t keep up.
💎 The Problem Isn’t You, It’s the Audacity of Shrinking
We’ve all done it. Shrunk a little in rooms that didn’t feel safe. Dialed our personalities down to a whisper just to avoid criticism. Bit our tongues in relationships that deserved our roar.
Sound familiar?
Being labeled “too much” is a projection — not a truth. It’s society trying to fit wildflowers into mason jars. And honey, you weren’t born to be contained.
From childhood, many of us were taught to make ourselves palatable:
Don’t be “too emotional.”
Don’t be “too independent.”
Don’t be “too confident.”
Don’t be “too sexual.”
Translation? Don’t be in your full power.
But what if the very things they asked you to tone down… are the exact things that make you unforgettable?
🧠 Why They Couldn’t Keep Up (And That’s Okay)
People with limited emotional capacity will always misunderstand women who live in their fullness. If you’re deeply expressive, they’ll call you “dramatic.” If you speak your truth, you’re “aggressive.” If you expect effort, you’re “high maintenance.”
Here’s the truth:
✨ You weren’t asking for too much.
✨ You were asking the wrong people.
Let that sink in.
They couldn’t match your energy because they never had the depth to begin with. And babe, matching energy isn’t just about effort — it’s about emotional availability, integrity, and emotional intelligence.
💅 The Rebirth: Reclaiming Your “Too Much”
You know what’s sexy? A woman who stops apologizing for being multi-dimensional. One who can cry during a meditation and still close a business deal before brunch. Who wears glitter and grit with equal pride.
Let’s affirm it right now:
“I am allowed to take up space. I am allowed to want more. I am not ‘too much’ — I am perfectly layered, powerful, and aligned.”
Reclaiming your “too much” looks like:
Setting boundaries without guilt.
Speaking up without softening your tone.
Wearing what makes you feel electric, not what makes others comfortable.
Saying “no” without an explanation.
Owning your aura and walking like you deserve to be seen.
🔥 Let’s Get Interactive: Journal This
Pull out your journal and sit with these questions:
Where in my life have I felt like I was “too much” for someone?
Was I actually too much — or were they not enough for the real me?
How would I show up if I believed I was just right, exactly as I am?
💖 Soft Yet Savage Affirmations
Say these out loud in the mirror (preferably while wearing something that makes you feel unstoppable):
“I am not here to shrink for anyone’s comfort.”
“My voice deserves volume.”
“I choose alignment over approval.”
“The right people will never ask me to be less.”
“My glow is not up for negotiation.”
🍸 Real Talk: They Missed Out
That ex? That job? That friend group? They didn’t reject you — they fumbled you. The issue was never your sparkle, it was their shades.
The moment you start seeing your “too much” as a gift, you stop chasing rooms that feel like cages. You start choosing spaces that expand you. People who get you. Opportunities that match you.
So if you’ve ever been called:
Too loud
Too ambitious
Too sensitive
Too picky
Too intense
Just know, that’s code for: You were always too real for them.
👑 Soft Power Tip of the Week:
Don’t apologize for your essence.
This week, show up louder. Bolder. Unapologetically. Post that selfie. Set that boundary. Walk into the room like your presence is the moment — because it is.
✨ Conclusion:
There is absolutely nothing wrong with being everything. In fact, your ability to feel deeply, speak clearly, love fiercely, and exist fully is your superpower.
You are not “too much.”
You are just enough for the right people, the right path, and the right version of yourself that’s finally ready to be fully expressed.
And anyone who can’t handle that?
Well, baby… they just couldn’t keep up. 💋
