How the Overcorrected Diva turned into Pick Me

In this episode of The Walking Session Podcast, I’m diving into what I call the “overcorrected diva” — that part of us that’s tried so hard not to be too much that we’ve ended up silencing our needs altogether. You know the one — when you say “it’s fine” instead of speaking up, when you apologise for wanting help, or when you downplay what you truly need just to stay likeable.

Together, we’ll unpack how we got here — from being praised for being “easygoing” to fearing we’ll be seen as “high maintenance” — and how that quiet self-editing slowly leads to burnout and resentment. I’ll talk about why setting boundaries gets labelled as “bitchy,” how we can redefine what self-care really looks like, and how to give ourselves permission to have needs that don’t have to be justified.

Whether you’ve lost touch with what fills your cup or you’re ready to stop earning your rest, this episode will help you reconnect with your unapologetic, fully expressed self.

🎧 Grab your headphones, your shoes, and maybe your coffee — let’s walk it out.
