  • The ‘Good Girl’ Lie That’s Keeping You Stuck
    Apr 16 2025

    How to break free from outdated expectations and start living for yourself—in your 30s, not your 40s.

    Are you constantly trying to be “nice,” “perfect,” or “the one who has it all together”—even when you're exhausted, resentful, or quietly falling apart?

    You might be stuck in what’s known as Good Girl Syndrome, and in this episode, we’re calling it out for what it is: a cultural trap that convinces women our worth is tied to being agreeable, selfless, and endlessly productive.

    In this raw and empowering conversation, I break down:

    • The 6 hidden signs of Good Girl Syndrome (and why most women don’t even realize they’re in it)
    • How it shows up in your body image, boundaries, relationships, and even your sexuality
    • Real client stories of women who broke free—and how they did it
    • Practical steps you can take right now to reclaim your voice, your time, and your truth

    Whether you’re in your 30s or 40s, this is your permission slip to stop performing and start living. Let’s stop shrinking. Let’s start showing up. For real. For you.
