| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Black Girl Burnout podcast, Kelly here, and we are continuing our theme of New Year Healed Me by looking at a topic that should be close to the heart, and that is creating healthy, |
| 0:23.3 | romantic relationships with clarity and intention. Now, whether you're out here looking for a |
| 0:29.7 | brand new connection or want to deepen an existing one, the truth is this. The foundation |
| 0:35.6 | of any fulfilling relationship starts with you. It starts with |
| 0:40.5 | your clarity, your purpose, and your boundaries. I want us to take a moment today to reflect on what we |
| 0:46.4 | truly want in a romantic partnership. What do you need to feel seen and heard and cherished? |
| 0:58.1 | I know this isn't something that we are often encouraged or ever feel like we have the time to do. And so we swing between just dating without any |
| 1:03.7 | clarity and intention and just out in these streets or being dating avoidant, which to be |
| 1:09.7 | transparent, I tend to fall into that category, |
| 1:12.6 | whether it's cynicism that leads us to either of these extremes. Our goal is to really reflect |
| 1:20.8 | in this episode. And I know if you're anything like me, you've probably experienced the pressure and the weight of |

| 1:36.3 | their community. And in sometimes there's this implied expectation that they need to save their |
| 1:42.0 | partners. We struggle with unrealistic expectations and even the fear of being too much. |
| 1:50.5 | How often are black women when they set a standard or make a decision often ridiculed or told that they expect too much, that they're doing too much, and that people will not accept an accomplished, healed black woman |
| 2:04.6 | because it's just too much. |
| 2:07.5 | But I'm here to tell you that you are not too much. |
| 2:11.8 | You're worthy of love and not just any love, |
| 2:15.2 | a love that honors your joy, your values, and importantly, your boundaries. |
| 2:21.9 | So in this episode, we're going to do the work together. We're going to get clear on what we want. |
| 2:26.5 | We're going to explore how to date or partner with intention, and we're going to discuss the |
| 2:31.3 | boundaries that will protect your well-being in the process. |
