In this episode, Demetri unpacks the quiet belief so many of us carry that we are “too much,” “not enough,” or simply hard to love. He explores the origins of that story, how past relationships and unmet needs shape our self-worth, and why believing this lie keeps us disconnected from the love we desire. This is a conversation about unlearning shame, embracing self-compassion, and allowing yourself to be loved without needing to perform or shrink.
