you’ve heard it before. “you’re so high-maintenance.” but what if that’s not the insult people think it is?

in this episode of she’s probably talking to other guys, i’m flipping the script on the assumptions tied to being “too much,” “extra,” or “a lot.” from beauty routines to bold standards, from knowing exactly what you like to refusing to settle, i’m breaking down why high-maintenance isn’t a flaw. it’s clarity.

i talk about where the label comes from, why it’s usually aimed at people with standards, and how self-care, boundaries, and preferences somehow get mistaken for entitlement. spoiler: wanting effort does not make you difficult. it makes you intentional.

this episode is your reminder that you don’t have to shrink, simplify, or soften yourself to be easier to handle. if being high-maintenance means knowing your worth, then i’m not apologizing.

tap in if you’ve ever been told you’re “a lot.” maybe you are. maybe that’s the point.

Tune in as I unapologetically break down why high-maintenance is a power move, not a personality flaw.
