Have you ever wondered if you're too much?

Too loud. Too emotional. Too opinionated. Too enthusiastic.

But then, when you hold back, you're encouraged to speak up, be confident, and use your voice.

So…which is it?

In this week's Monday Musings with The Blended Mama, I'm reflecting on Habit #10 from How Women Rise: Too Much and the tension between showing up authentically and remaining willing to grow.

Because we don't have to erase the parts of ourselves that make us who we are in order to become more self-aware.

Growth can refine you without erasing you.

In This Episode

💜 What being “Expressive-Expressive” taught me about myself
💜 The difference between authenticity and ignoring our impact
💜 Why feedback doesn't always mean we need to change who we are
💜 What happens when worrying about being “too much” causes us to stop contributing altogether

Reflection Question

Where am I editing myself because growth requires it—and where am I editing myself simply to make other people comfortable?

This Week's Gentle Step

Notice one moment when you're tempted to hold back something that genuinely needs to be said.

Pause. Consider what you want to communicate and how you want to communicate it.

Then say it—intentionally.
