Episode Description from the Publisher

In this episode Blake and Ashlyn are getting into something a lot of women have felt but couldn't always name. The difference between being fed up and being truly done. What settling actually looks like in real life, not the dramatic version but the quiet everyday version where you're pretending you're happy and dimming your light to keep the peace. And why you were never asking for too much. You were just finally asking the right questions.We got into:Why people stop benefiting from you when you stop playing small and why raising your standards exposes who was never enoughWhat the word done actually means when a woman says it and why disgust is the turning point that has no returnWhat settling looks like in real life including protecting him more than you protect yourselfWhy the rules of this world were not built with Black women in mind and why your timeline is yours aloneThe three table relationship concept and why Blake does not want to become enmeshed in a partnershipWhy shame in your relationship is already the answer and the reality TV test that tells you everythingWhat being done settling actually means and why it has nothing to do with giving up on loveMantra Moment: Being done settling doesn't mean you're giving all hope up of love. It means you're done ignoring your intuition.If this episode resonated drop a comment and let us know what being done settling looks like for you.📩 Email us: SuburbanBlackGirlPod@gmail.com📱 Follow us on all platforms: @SuburbanBlackGirlPod⭐ Leave us a rating on Apple Podcasts & Spotify!
