By allowing ourselves to fully experience our emotions, we can tap into deeper truths and insights that reside within us, leading to better emotional health and self-awareness.

🎙️ Show Notes: Unrealistic Expectations That Keep You Stuck

Have you ever caught yourself over-explaining—hoping that if someone just understood your story, they’d finally like you, respect you, or treat you better? In this episode, I share how this pattern has shown up in my own life—from everyday microaggressions to over-functioning at work and in relationships—and the deep shift I’ve made to reclaim my energy and self-respect.

We explore the unrealistic expectations that keep so many women stuck:

• Believing that if others finally understood your pain, they’d change.

• Taking on someone else’s load in hopes they’ll one day carry yours.

• Trying to fix toxic environments instead of walking away.

• Over-explaining your worth and boundaries to earn approval.

The truth is, their reactions are about their coding—not your worth. When you stop personalizing their judgments and start honoring your own standards, you step out of over-functioning and into alignment.

This quick episode is a reminder that you don’t need to prove yourself to anyone. Respect yourself enough to stop abandoning your own needs, start honoring your limits, and take action that aligns with the life and woman you’re becoming.

✨ What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why over-explaining keeps you disempowered

• The trap of trying to change people who aren’t willing to change

• How over-functioning at work and in relationships erodes self-respect

• The powerful shift into alignment, standards, and self-responsibility

Listen if you’re ready to shift out of overthinking and over consuming and into alignment and action with your goals and dreams and the life that you want to create.
