Episode 18: High Maintenance Women Make Life Easier (For Everyone)

This week we’re reclaiming a phrase that’s been used against women for decades:
 
High. Maintenance.
 
Not in the “she’s too much work” way.
Not in the “she’s demanding and dramatic” way.

I’m talking about high maintenance as a devotion to your wellbeing, your energy, your standards and refusing to outsource that responsibility to anyone else.

Because the truth is:

When I am high maintenance for myself, I become low maintenance in my relationship.
There’s no guessing games. No unspoken resentment. No martyrdom.
Just two adults who know how to care for themselves first, and meet each other from overflow, not need.

In this episode I talk about:

·  Why discipline kept me safe, but devotion makes me soft, open and deeply honest with myself.

·  The difference between what I want vs. what I actually need — and how devotion helps me listen.

·  How claiming my “high maintenance woman” era has made my life simpler, smoother and so much more loving.

·  Why self-responsibility is the sexiest form of feminine power.

If you’ve ever been called too much, too needy or too intense - good.
Let’s make “high maintenance” a mission statement.
