About this listen
We grow up being told to “be good” and “be nice”—as if those are the highest virtues we can embody. But what if those well-meaning words are actually where the disconnection begins?
What if being nice is just people-pleasing in prettier packaging?
What if being good is really about being compliant?
And what if this kind of conditioning doesn’t just keep girls quiet—it keeps women stuck?
In this episode, we’re digging into the deeper damage of “good girl” messaging and how it wires us to:
• Mistrust our own discomfort
• Stay in roles, relationships, and careers that drain us
• Choose likability over authenticity
• Confuse self-abandonment for virtue
We’ll also talk about how to shift this narrative in our own parenting—so our kids grow up kind and self-honoring, honest and connected.
This one’s for every recovering good girl—and the cycle-breakers raising something different.
