What happens when the world tells you you're ”too much,” or inside you feel like you're ”not enough”?

In Part 1 of this two-part series, Alison and Chaley unpack the complex relationship between external feedback and internal self-perception. They explore the confusion that arises when societal expectations clash with how we actually feel about ourselves—and why so many of us struggle to reconcile the two.

This episode dives into:

• How being told you're ”too much” shapes your self-image
• The gap between external perceptions and internal feelings of inadequacy
• Why feedback from others can distort our sense of worth
• The journey toward self-acceptance when external judgments feel louder than internal truth

If you've ever felt caught between who you're told you are and who you feel you are, this conversation will resonate. It's messy, it's real, and it's the starting point for understanding your own worth beyond what others project onto you.
