If you’ve ever swallowed your tears at a funeral because crying “too hard” would make you a burden…

If you’ve apologized for having emotions, held back excitement, or refused to ask for help because needing anything felt like being “too much”…

This episode is for you.

In this powerful conversation, licensed therapist Lexie Loman introduces Too Much Tina — the shame gremlin that convinces sensitive, emotional, and deeply feeling people that their emotions are a problem to be managed rather than a natural part of being human.

You’ll learn:

• How “Too Much Tina” develops and the exact ways she keeps you small and silent
• Why strong emotions were never the problem — hiding them was
• The simple “Goat” technique (bleat “Shaaa-ame!” and drop a truth bomb) that interrupts Tina in the moment
• How to feel your feelings fully, celebrate your wins without guilt, and ask for help without shame

Lexie shares her own journey and practical tools so you can stop apologizing for being human and start living with more emotional freedom and authenticity.

You are allowed to feel.

You are allowed to take up space.

You are enough — exactly as you are.
