Episode Synopsis

What does it really mean to be called “high maintenance”? In this episode of The Suburban Black Girl Podcast, we unpack the stereotypes, backhanded compliments, and insecurities tied to the label. From beauty routines to dating expectations, we ask: is it about being demanding or simply knowing what you like and being intentional about how you want to be treated?We get into:The difference between standards, boundaries, and entitlementWhy Black women are often shamed for luxury, care, and softnessHow “too much” for one person is just Tuesday for anotherThe importance of reciprocity in dating and friendshipsWhy respecting yourself sets the tone for how others treat youBecause being well-cared for by yourself or your partner isn’t “too much.” It’s self-respect. 💅🏾Mantra Moment: “You’re not asking for too much , you’re just asking the wrong person.”
