Welcome to the Black Girl Burnout podcast, Kelly here.

And today we're going to talk about the art of doing less in love.

You see, many of us have been conditioned to just over function in relationships,

constantly giving and fixing and proving our worth. Honestly, we're just doing too much.

And in this episode, we're going to talk about how love does not and should not feel like a
