EPISODE SUMMARY

In this episode, host Kelley Bonner explores the concept of Opting Out of Low Maintenance. Are you packaging yourself as low maintenance, just so that people will like you? If so, you are not alone. The goal of this community is to openly discuss our trials, so that we can help each other heal. This episode is for you if you are ready to stop putting the needs of others over your own needs. More, more, and still more is within your reach in 2023. Stay tuned til the end, to learn more about today’s homework assignment. You will be so glad that you did πŸ™‚

The Black Girl Burnout podcast is dedicated to helping black women learn how to opt out of the mentality of struggle while also learning how to opt into a life of joy, abundance, and good health, which is their birthright. Burnout can manifest in a variety of ways, including feelings of exhaustion, cynicism, and a lack of accomplishment. It is totally ok if you are experiencing more than one of the feelings at the same time. Being able to fully align with your truth is a significant sign of strength.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS

My entire life, I had really prided myself on what I defined as being low maintenance, which was really just all about self-denial and trying to shrink myself and my needs to make myself more attractive to others. However, today, I want to encourage you to accept that there is nothing wrong with prioritizing your own needs.Β Let today be the day that you say NO MORE to all versions of the struggle.
