Does Your Partner Make You Feel Like You’re Too Much? with Sara and Joe
Do you sometimes feel like you may be“too much” for your partner? Do you sometimes feel like they want you to “dim your light” a bit? Is your confidence lessened by their reaction to you? Sara and Joe talk about how it’s not really ok for someone to not grant you space for all of your amazingness.
This can be in a relationship, a friendship, or a job- stay aware when others are making you feel like you need to pull back. It’s most times not at all about you- it’s usually something in them that makes them uncomfortable, threatened, takes work on their part.
Don’t dim your light. Joe and Sara talk about wanting each other to be the best they can be and achieve what they are passionate about. They say that communication is key, always. As Sara pursues her big dreams, including a re-brand of her website, and booking to speak to thousands of people as a Keynote speaker, she has kept Joe as part of the process. He says he so appreciates the constant communication and it keeps him supportive rather than wanting her to be less.
Sara’s advice for you to stay as you need to be:
- Make a list of the most amazing parts of who you are. As Sara says, “I like my loud laugh”, even though it may be too much for someone.
- Challenge the critical thoughts and feedback of others. Don’t accept their thoughts as the only word. They are coming from their own issues.
- Set boundaries. Do not accept everyone’s feedback. Your boundaries may not make everyone happy. Someone may get upset if you suddenly stop doing everything for them. That’s not on you. That’s potential growth for both of you.
Sara and Joe have a definite message: You are perfect as you are.
