Have you ever been told you were "too much"?

Too emotional. Too loud. Too ambitious. Too difficult.

Maybe the problem was never you.

In this episode of I'm New Here, Dawn Richardson explores what happens when we stop shrinking ourselves to make other people comfortable. Through a deeply personal story of resilience, healing, and self-discovery, this conversation reminds us that boundaries aren't selfish they're self-respect.

If you've spent years people-pleasing, apologizing for taking up space, or feeling guilty for choosing yourself, this episode is for you.

The right people won't ask you to become smaller.
