My Needs Are Not Your Burden

Ever found yourself second-guessing your needs or downplaying your desires for fear of being labeled "too much"? You're not alone. This fear of appearing high maintenance isn't random—it's carefully cultivated through messages that have taught us, especially women and people pleasers, that having clear boundaries makes us difficult to love.

But what if I told you that what's often dismissed as "high maintenance" is actually just having standards? Think about powerhouse women like Zendaya, Reese Witherspoon, and Serena Williams. They're frequently labeled "difficult" or "demanding" when they're simply refusing to compromise their worth. They demonstrate what it looks like to protect your energy without apology—and you deserve to do the same.

The difference between entitled behavior and healthy standards is crucial. Standards aren't about perfection; they're about alignment. They represent knowing what works for you, how you deserve to be treated, and having the courage to communicate those boundaries. When you start honoring your standards, something magical happens—relationships shift, with some people falling away and others rising to meet you. You begin attracting partners who respect your time, friends who value your honesty, and work that honors your boundaries. That's not high maintenance—it's simply healthy.

Remember this powerful mantra the next time you worry about asking for too much: "I'm not too much. I'm just no longer willing to accept too little." Because you're not here to be the most agreeable version of yourself. You're here to be the most aligned version. Ready to raise your standards? Your pocket full of mojo awaits.
