65. Stop Apologizing for Being Too Much: Bold Love, Boundaries, and the Beauty of Your Design

Have you ever been told you’re too intense, too sensitive, too emotional, or just too much? Maybe you’ve spent years trying to tone it down, keep the peace, or avoid being misunderstood. But what if those parts of you were never a problem to fix—but a gift to steward?

In this episode, we’re flipping the script on what real strength looks like. We’ll talk about why we learn to shrink, how shame gets passed down through generations, and what it means to reclaim your God-given voice with confidence and humility.

Whether you’ve wrestled with guilt, people-pleasing, over-apologizing, or just feeling like your presence is “too big,” this conversation will help you:

Break free from false labels
Set boundaries without guilt
Understand the connection between emotion and design
Stop overfunctioning or collapsing in relationships
And walk boldly in the truth of who God made you to be

I’ll also share a bit of my own journey—what it looked like to go from feeling “too much” to embracing the purpose in my personality, passion, and emotions.

This episode is for anyone who’s tired of editing themselves for the comfort of others—and ready to live in the freedom of who they truly are.
