Ever felt the need to tone yourself down to be loved? Ever been told you’re intimidating, opinionated, or just “too much”? Most strong, confident women have heard these criticisms at one time or another. Remember this: You don’t need to shrink yourself down to fit someone else’s idea of desirable. We’ve heard it all before. We’ve been told we are too extroverted, too independent, too confident, “too much” to be loved. But here’s the truth: The right person won’t be intimidated by you. They’ll be inspired by you. Energized and excited by you. Overjoyed to get a chance with you. And as for those who are frightened away by their own insecurities? Bye! If you’ve ever worried that your big personality is a barrier to love, this episode is for you. We’re unpacking the myth of being “too much” and why the right match will see your bright light as a gift, not a threat. For many women dating in midlife, the fear of being “too much” is rooted in outdated narratives that have told us to quiet down and dim our light. We’ve been conditioned to believe that our confidence is a turnoff, our success is intimidating, and our strong opinions makes us less desirable. This episode is your remind that you deserve a relationship where you can be fully seen, heard, and valued. A partnership in which you are authentically YOU. Because you are not too much. You just haven’t met the person who can handle everything you bring to the table—and celebrate it.
