Welcome to Level Up Your Selfie — the podcast where we cut the BS, embrace the mess, and turn our lives into magical masterpieces… one selfie at a time.
I’m your host, Angelina Mi Lajki — artist, AI whisperer, creative unicorn…
and according to a LOT of people over the years?
Too. Much.
Too loud.
Too emotional.
Too ambitious.
Too intense.
Too extra.
And honestly?
Good.
Because today we’re not fixing that.
We’re reclaiming it.
💥 “Too Much” Is Just Code for “You Won’t Stay Small”
Let me translate something for you…
When someone says:
👉 “You’re too much.”
What they often mean is:
👉 “You’re too big for the version of you I’m comfortable with.”
Because “too much” has never been about you.
It’s about their capacity.
Their comfort zone.
Their limitations.
And instead of expanding themselves…
They try to shrink you.
The moment you:
-
speak your truth
-
set boundaries
-
take up space
-
stop apologizing for existing
Suddenly?
You’re “too much.”
Society LOVES this label.
Because it’s not feedback.
It’s conditioning.
👉 Be quieter.
👉 Be easier.
👉 Be more digestible.
Historically?
Women like us were called hysterical.
Now we’re called intense.
Different word.
Same intention.
Control the energy.
Tone her down.
Make her smaller.
Yeah… no thanks.
🌴 From Florida Dreams to “Too Much Energy”
Let me take you back.
Before the brand.
Before the podcast.
Before Milajki became a whole universe.
Florida.
Sun. Heat. Possibility.
I moved there young, studying fashion design and building a life from scratch.
But I didn’t go there to play safe.
I had big dreams.
Not “normal life” dreams.
I wanted:
✨ freedom
✨ luxury
✨ creativity
✨ adventure
✨ a life that felt like a movie
And when you walk into the world with that kind of energy?
You don’t blend in.
You disrupt.
I wasn’t just thinking about clothes.
I was thinking in worlds.
In experiences.
In stories people could step into.
And that kind of thinking?
👉 “Too much.”
👉 “Too unrealistic.”
👉 “Too big.”
But looking back?
That wasn’t “too much.”
That was vision before evidence.
Because that same energy became:
✨ Milajki
✨ immersive selfie museums
✨ brand collaborations
✨ creative direction
✨ building entire universes from imagination
That doesn’t come from playing small.
That comes from:
🔥 obsession
🔥 emotion
🔥 imagination
🔥 intensity
And yeah…
That energy is not always easy to carry.
But every time I tried to shrink?
Life got smaller.
And I felt… off.
Because your “too muchness”?
Is often your future trying to come through.
🎭 The Exhaustion of Pretending You’re Less
Let’s talk about what happens when you try to be “less.”
You learn to:
👉 read the room
👉 adjust your energy
👉 filter your thoughts
👉 hold back your truth
You become:
✨ likable
✨ easy
✨ low maintenance
And people say:
👉 “You’re so easy to be around.”
But inside?
You’re slowly disappearing.
Because every time you shrink…
You abandon a part of yourself.
👉 The truth you didn’t say
👉 The boundary you didn’t set
👉 The emotion you swallowed
And that builds up.
Until one day…
You feel:
👉 exhausted
👉 disconnected
👉 anxious
👉 overwhelmed
Not because you’re too much.
But because you’ve been too little for too long.
💎 What If “Too Much” Is Actually Your Superpower?
Let’s flip it.
What if your:
👉 emotions = depth
👉 intensity = power
👉 sensitivity = awareness
👉 voice = influence
👉 dreams = vision
What if “too much” is just what being fully alive feels like?
Because the people who change things?
They are not “just enough.”
They are:
🔥 all in
🔥 all heart
🔥 all energy
Your life expands to the level of energy you can hold.
And “too much” people?
We hold a lot.
Not something to fix.
Something to direct.
🧠 Why You Learned to Shrink (And Why It’s Not Your Fault)
You weren’t born this way.
You learned it.
Maybe you were:
👉 “the strong one”
👉 “the mature one”
👉 “the easy one”
Or maybe you were told:
👉 you’re too sensitive
👉 you’re too emotional
👉 you’re too much
So you adapted.
You created a version of yourself that was easier to accept.
But that’s not emotional maturity.
That’s emotional suppression.
And when those emotions come back?
They come back louder.
👉 anxiety
👉 overthinking
👉 overwhelm
Not because something is wrong with you.
But because you’re finally feeling again.
You’re not broken.
You’re reconnecting.
🎨 Channel It, Don’t Kill It
Here’s the shift.
Your energy isn’t the problem.
👉 Misplacement is.
You’ve been pouring big energy into small spaces.
Small conversations.
Small-minded people.
Small environments.
You’re not too much.
You’re just in containers that are too small.
Because when you channel that energy?
It becomes:
✨ creativity
✨ content
✨ business
✨ art
✨ impact
Unexpressed energy becomes anxiety.
Expressed energy becomes creation.
That’s the difference.
🚀 Take Up Space (Unapologetically)
Taking up space isn’t about being loud.
It’s about being fully expressed without asking permission.
Not:
👉 “Is this too much?”
But:
👉 “Is this true for me?”
Because if you have to shrink to be accepted…
You’re not accepted.
You’re tolerated.
And tolerated is not your destiny.
You’re here to:
✨ be seen
✨ be heard
✨ be felt
And if a room can’t hold you?
Build your own.
💥 Final Truth: Too Much Is the Point
I am too much.
And that’s exactly why I’ve:
✨ built
✨ rebuilt
✨ survived
✨ created
✨ evolved
Too much means:
🔥 I don’t settle
🔥 I don’t shrink
🔥 I don’t disappear
So no…
I’m not toning it down.
I’m turning it up.
🎧 Closing – This Is Where It Shifts
If this episode hit you…
That’s not random.
That’s recognition.
You don’t need to be less.
You need to:
✨ come home to yourself
✨ trust your energy
✨ stop abandoning who you are
Because peace doesn’t come from shrinking.
It comes from being fully expressed in the right spaces.
