In this episode, I share how being labeled “dramatic” taught me to disappear.
Growing up misunderstood, I learned to read rooms, manage other people’s emotions, and keep the peace at the cost of myself. What looked like confidence or drama on the outside was actually overwhelm, sensitivity, and a nervous system trying to survive.
This episode is about the quiet grief of shrinking to belong and the moment I realized I wasn’t broken or “too much.” I was dysregulated.
If you’ve ever been called too emotional, too sensitive, or difficult…
If you learned to make yourself smaller to be loved…
This episode is for you.
You were never dramatic.
You were adapting.
