Are You "Too Much"?

There are some voices that don’t try to soften themselves for comfort. They don’t shrink, polish, or dilute the truth to be more palatable. Gina Hatzis is one of those voices.

You may remember Gina as a recent podcast guest—the Too Much Woman herself. The one who names what so many women have been taught to hide: our volume, our feelings, our needs, our joy, our anger, our hunger for more. Not more things. More truth. More aliveness. More permission to take up space without apology.

Gina now has a workbook out—The Likability Detox— and I want to recommend it to this community with my whole chest.

This book isn’t about becoming louder for the sake of noise. It’s about becoming truer. It’s for women who were labeled “too sensitive,” “too intense,” “too emotional,” or “too opinionated” and learned to manage themselves for everyone else’s comfort. It’s for those of us who internalized the message that containment equals safety—and paid for it with our bodies, our voices, and our joy.

This is a reminder that the problem was never that you were too much—it’s that the world didn’t know what to do with your wholeness.

I don’t recommend many books lightly. This one belongs on your shelf, dog-eared and underlined.

If you’ve ever wondered whether your “too muchness” was actually wisdom knocking—this is your sign.
