This one’s for the Black women who were taught how to endure, but never taught how to receive.

We were raised to be ride-or-die. To pray, press on, and keep quiet. But what if the love we were taught to accept… was never love at all?

In this episode, we’re unpacking the quiet wounds:

  • The lessons passed down from mamas who were just surviving

  • The way religion shaped our view of love, worth, and submission

  • Why being chosen ain’t the same as being cherished

  • And how to start unlearning love that was rooted in fear, performance, and pain

I’m speaking to the strong Black girls who never got to be soft. The ones who thought struggle was a requirement for connection. The ones who are just now realizing: You don’t have to earn love through sacrifice.

You are allowed to be loved gently. Fully. Freely.

Let’s unlearn together.

Grab ya liquor and your bud, let's talk!
