Welcome to the Black Girl Burnout podcast, Kelly here.

And we are continuing on in our three-part series of the opt-out as a discipline, not a destination.

And of course, my special guest is Dr. Jeanette Davis, also known as Dr. Ocean.

And we're talking about the opt-out as a concept that we daily practice in our lives.

To quickly recap episode one earlier this week, we talked about

what the opt out meant to us. It is a beautiful, incredible conversation about how Jeanette

got to this place of practicing opting out and how she got there and what her steps seeking

there is and what the benefits are of opting out to her. Today there and what her steps seeking there is and what the benefits are

of opting out to her.

Today, we're going to zero in a little bit more on how to opt out in your personal lives.

How do you eliminate, as Jeanette said, those Tyler Perry moments in your love story

and just in general with the people around you, whether it's platonic or romantic.

Very excited for this conversation.

Let's dive right in.

Again, it's part two of the opt out is a discipline, not a destination, with us specifically looking at our personal lives.

So let's continue on with personal a little bit, personal relationships,

and talk a little bit about how we've both opted out of that.

I think you recap that by saying that, like, you no longer have

Tyler Perry, you know, Lee Daniel, precious, we're over the top life experiences, which again,

these are both very exaggerated depictions, but they're exaggerated to make a point that

oftentimes people see themselves in small doses reflected in that.

You know, this belief that like, isn't there a whole Tyler Perry movie called I Can Be Bad by Myself or there's a Play or something?
