Episode Synopsis

In this episode, we’re breaking down one of the biggest lies people learn to live inside: the idea that being “low-maintenance” makes you easier to love. Because it doesn’t. It makes you easier to overlook.I’m talking about the ways we shrink ourselves to seem “chill,” how we downplay our needs to avoid being called “a lot,” and how society rewards people who take up the least space. We get into why maintenance is human, why your standards are hygiene, why routine is self-respect, and why pretending you don’t need anything slowly erases you from your own life.If you’ve ever been praised for being “easy,” ignored for being strong, or punished for having real emotions — this episode is for you.You don’t need to be effortless.You need to be honest.And the right people will meet you where you stand.Thanks for Katchin’ Up With Kade.Stay beautiful, stay blessed — I love y’all. Peace.
