241. Why You Shouldn’t Be Low-Maintenance and How to Ask for More
Update: 2025-08-20
Description
How often do you put your needs last and convince yourself that being easy-going is a virtue? For years, I minimised my own preferences and smoothed over my wants to make life easier for everyone else. Being low-maintenance felt safe, like I was doing the “right” thing, but it came at a cost. This episode is about why tending to what you actually need matters, why saying what you want is essential, and how making yourself heard is not selfish but necessary for real connection and emotional well-being.
You will discover how to recognise when you are mistaking lack of conflict for healthy relationships, why expecting people to read your mind is futile, and practical ways to start expressing what matters to you. Most importantly, you will learn why being “high maintenance”, having standards, needs, and desires, is not selfish but essential for genuine connection and emotional nourishment.
