You’re Not Too Much—You’re Just Not in the Right Energy
You were never too much.
You were just giving too much to people who couldn’t hold you.
And now that you’re here—post-breakup, post-divorce, post-reinvention—you’re starting to see it.
But some days, the shame still lingers.
You hear the echoes of every man who said you were “intimidating.”
Every friend who told you to tone it down.
Every moment you dimmed your light just to be digestible.
So let’s be clear about something right now:
You are not too much.
You were just misaligned.
You were operating in survival, over-performing in your masculine, and leading from defense—not desire.
But that version of you is not your identity.
She was your armor.
She got you through.
But she can’t take you where you’re going.
Let’s break this all the way down.
The Lie: “You’re too intense. Too deep. Too direct.”
Women like you—the high-achieving, emotionally intelligent, self-aware ones—are rarely called “too much” by people who can meet them.
That feedback always comes from people who were relying on your silence.
Your softness.
Your self-abandonment.
They were comfortable with your convenience, not your wholeness.
And when you showed up fully?
They panicked.
Not because you were wrong—but because they were unprepared.
Here’s the truth:
You were trying to create intimacy while managing perception.
And that misalignment kept you in emotional overdrive.
You weren’t operating in your power.
You were performing in your panic.
The Real Problem: You were operating from masculine over-functioning.
Let’s name it for what it is.
You weren’t “too much.”
You were just too responsible for the connection.
You were managing every detail.
Doing all the emotional labor.
Filling all the silence.
Carrying all the clarity.
And because it looked like strength, no one told you it was a trauma response.
No one told you it was costing you polarity, presence, and peace.
So here’s what you need to hear:
Being deeply emotional doesn’t make you needy.
Having standards doesn’t make you difficult.
Expressing your truth doesn’t make you dramatic.
It makes you real.
But if you express it from masculine overdrive—if it’s laced in fear, control, or unprocessed hurt—it feels like too much to the wrong men.
And to the right one?
It feels like gold—when it’s coming from the right energy.
The Shift: From Proving to Positioning
If you’ve been told you’re too much, it’s time to stop shrinking and start shifting.
The goal isn’t to mute yourself.
The goal is to lead with your energy, not your effort.
To be in reception, not responsibility.
To date from softness, not structure.
To let your presence lead, not your resume.
This is what soft power looks like in action.
And it all begins with three core shifts:
The 3 Pillars of Soft Power
This is the foundation of every transformation I teach inside the Red Lip Energy Inner Circle and throughout the ADREE app.
These three pillars are how you stop over-functioning and start becoming unforgettable.
1. Emotional Intelligence
You don’t react from wounds.
You respond from wisdom.
You learn to pause before performing.
You don’t fill the silence.
You don’t text to manage anxiety.
You know when to speak, and when your stillness says more.
You regulate your nervous system before you try to decode his.
You ask:
“Is this response coming from my fear—or my standard?”
2. Energetic Presence
This is where you stop doing and start being.
It’s where you walk into a room and shift the atmosphere—not because you’re loud, but because you’re anchored.
You don’t prove.
You don’t pitch.
You don’t over-explain your worth.
You don’t need him to see your value.
You sit in it.
You ask:
“Am I being felt, or am I being impressive?”
3. Grounded Femininity
This is where your softness becomes your strategy.
You know when to lean back.
You let him lead if he’s able.
And if he’s not? You don’t force it. You don’t fix it. You float on.
This is where the 3:1 Response Method™ comes in:
For every 3 things he does, you offer 1 soft, responsive gesture.
It’s not about playing hard to get.
It’s about creating space to be pursued—not emotionally chased.
You ask:
“Am I leaning back to invite… or leaning forward to control?”
You are not too much when you are in the right energy.
When you root yourself in soft power, you’ll start to see the shift:
You’ll speak… and be heard.
You’ll set boundaries… and feel safe.
You’ll flirt… and be felt.
You’ll date… and be pursued.
Not because you’re performing—but because you’re finally positioned.
If you’re ready to stop questioning your worth, here’s where to start:
This is the moment you choose to unlearn the idea that your bigness is a burden.
This is the moment you stop softening your voice so someone else can feel tall.
You are not “too much.”
You’ve just been in the wrong rooms, using the wrong strategy, carrying the wrong energy.
So let’s shift that—together.
Here’s where to begin:

You’ll discover which of the 3 pillars of soft power you’re strongest in—and which one is sabotaging your love life without you realizing it.
You are not too much.
You are exactly enough—when you stop giving it all away at once.
Now choose the energy that reflects the woman you’re becoming.
She’s not proving.
She’s not shrinking.
She’s not begging to be understood.
She’s moving in silence.
Speaking in softness.
And building the kind of life, love, and legacy that only a woman in her true energy can.
Let’s start there.
