Too Much For Who?

from Musings Of a Tired Nigerian Girl · host Hikmat’llah

At some point, you start healing. You start setting boundaries, speaking kindly to yourself, walking into rooms like you belong there. And suddenly… people around you start shifting.This episode is about that moment.About what it means to finally love yourself and how uncomfortable that makes some people.I talk about how we’ve been taught to shrink, especially as women, or anyone who’s just a little “too much” for the world. I explore why people feel the need to humble you the moment you begin to feel proud of yourself.I speak directly to the ones who do it whether it’s subtle shade, disapproving silence, or casual criticism masked as “just being real.”This episode isn’t just a call-out. It’s a mirror and I am challenging you to look at it.If you’ve ever felt guilty for your confidence, if you’ve been told “you’ve changed” like it’s a curse, or if someone else’s self-love makes you feel small this conversation is for you.
