I Got Called High Maintenance—and I Took It As a Compliment

For years, I tried to be the “cool girl”—easygoing, chill, low maintenance.
I thought that would make me more lovable. But what it actually did was make me invisible.

In this episode of Dichotomy with Shannon, I’m breaking down the lie that women should be easy to please, quiet, and low maintenance in order to be chosen—and the truth that high maintenance is just another word for self-respecting.

You’ll hear:

• The moment I decided my needs were “too much”
• The slow soul-death of people-pleasing
• How being high maintenance actually saved my life, my body, and my joy

This one is a reclamation. It’s a revolution. And it’s your permission slip to stop apologizing for who you are.

A sacred space for women done playing small. The high-maintenance ones. The too-much ones. The ones who are done settling.

If you've ever felt like too much in a relationship—clingy, constantly needing reassurance, overanalyzing every text, or terrified they’ll leave at any second—you’re not crazy.
You might just have anxious attachment.

In this episode, I break down what anxious attachment really is, how it shows up even when you’re pretending to be “chill,” and how I personally healed the patterns that left me jealous, needy, insecure, and emotionally wiped out.

This one’s for my sensitive, high-achieving souls who are done performing for love—and ready to feel safe in their own skin, no matter who stays or leaves.
