In this episode, Dr. Dar Hawks shares a clear message for generous women who feel “too much”: your needs aren’t excessive, they’re unnamed. We map five core sovereign relationship needs and show how naming your primary need turns conflict into conversation and over giving into clarity.

• why caring partners get labeled as “too much”
• the hidden cost of unnamed needs in love
• indirect asks versus clear, calm requests
• five core sovereign relationship needs explained
• how to identify your primary need
• shifts that follow clarity and boundaries
• affirmations that ground self-worth
• next steps with tools for naming needs
