37. Too Much (So We Made Ourselves Less)

Written By Adria Melichar

If you've ever tamped down your own excitement mid-sentence, apologized before asking for something reasonable, or calculated whether it's safe to speak up — this episode is about where that comes from.

There's a story in my family line about a brilliant woman who was too much for her time — and what the world did about it. And her teenage sister who watched it happen.

And somehow, without a word ever being spoken, that lesson got passed down:

Being too much is dangerous.

In This Episode:

  • The ancestor story that reframes why, as AuDHD women, we make ourselves smaller

  • Why the witch wound doesn't require ancient history — it might be one generation back

  • The four patterns that show up when we've inherited the belief that intensity is dangerous

  • What it looks like when there's finally nothing left to contain
