Publisher's summary

In 2023's Barbie Movie, America Ferrera's iconic speech magically deprogrammed the Barbies from patriarchy. And now Michelle Minnikin is here to do the same for women of the real world.

From our first days on Earth, we're taught what it means to be a Good Girl. Look good, be nice, stay quiet, and take care of everyone else... The list goes on, and at the heart of it all, one message shines through: Do as you're told or pay the price.

In Good Girl Deprogramming, Michelle shines a light on the sinister nature, tactics and tricks of coercive control that not only program us to be Good Girls but keep us in that mindset for the years, decades, and generations that follow. With ferocity, empathy, and just enough humor to prevent the idea of being brainwashed by patriarchy too depressing, Michelle shares stories, facts and actionable advice that empowers women to break free from our own programming and rediscover who we truly are. Good Girl Deprogramming isn't just a book, it's a movement. One that takes each of us by the hand and invites us to step into the life that is powerfully, beautifully and unapologetically yours. Are you in?

An Empowering Personal Coaching Session!

As a woman born and raised in the Southern US, where it seems that the only thing that really matters is if you have your lipstick on and look all put together on the outside, I needed to hear this wisdom from Michelle. In fact, everyone- male female, young, old, and everyone in between should take a listen. Better yet, listen and have a print copy of the book handy for your notes. I love that Michelle’s philosophy is not to tell you what to do, but to provide insight and information on what we need to deprogrammed from, so that we recognize it, and then offers helpful suggestions for ways to do that. As an ICF Coach, I love that this book is like having your own personal coaching session with Michelle. As any powerful coach does, Michelle offers suggestions that can be helpful for you on your journey, but empowers you to own your personal journey of deprogramming because you are whole, competent, and creative.
