This week, we’re talking about adult friendships, emotional boundaries, medical autonomy, and the real-life pressures that come with trying to protect your peace while still showing up for other people. We get into one-sided friendships, emotional dumping, missed-train responsibility, women’s healthcare experiences, hysterectomy and tube removal decisions, birth control and hormones, relationship expectations, dating, religion, and adulting opinions that people usually save for the group chat.

If you’ve ever felt drained by friendship expectations, frustrated by doctors making decisions for you, confused by modern dating, or just tired of adulthood feeling heavier than it should, this episode will feel like sitting with two friends who get it. A Girls Perspective (AGP) is where Hot Takes, In My Opinion, Just My Thoughts, friendship problems, adulthood struggles, single life, finding your people, and building community all meet in one honest conversation. A Black Girl Podcast with educated Black women and educated Black people talking through real life, real boundaries, and real mess.

New episodes every Wednesday.

Follow the podcast everywhere you listen.

Two lives. Two perspectives. One unfiltered conversation.
