In this episode of Unmuted by Nola, we’re unlearning the myth that being “low maintenance” makes us more lovable, more promotable, or more worthy. From middle child peacekeeping to workplace professionalism to romantic relationships where silence became a survival skill, Nola explores how shrinking ourselves—emotionally, energetically, and spiritually—can feel like safety but becomes erasure. She shares the one space where she finally gave herself permission to be a little extra (hint: it’s her birthday), and how reclaiming voice, needs, and visibility is a lifelong act of unmuting.
