About this listen
There comes a point in healing where explaining yourself starts to feel like abandoning yourself.
In this episode, I talk about over-explaining —why so many of us learned it, what it protected us from, and what it quietly costs us over time.
We talk about:
– How over-explaining becomes a survival skill
– The emotional trade of earning connection by disappearing– Being misunderstood — even when you explain perfectly
– Why boundaries don’t need footnotes
– And what happens when you let yourself be misunderstood
This isn’t about becoming cold or distant. It’s about becoming clear.
If you’ve ever felt the urge to justify your needs, your tone, your boundaries, or your silence — this episode is for you.
You don’t owe context to be worthy of respect. And you don’t have to explain your way into belonging.
Softness doesn’t mean weak.
And clarity doesn’t mean cruelty.
