184. Tired of Being the Good Girl? How to Reclaim Your Life and Power with Emilie Karun

Ever wonder why life can look good on paper, yet still feel like something is missing? In this episode, Whitney sits down with life coach and founder of The Good Girl Revolution, Emilie Karun, for a conversation about the "good girl" rules so many women grow up with: the pressure to be nice, keep everyone happy, not ask for too much, and hold it all together.   Emilie opens up about creating the life she always thought she wanted, only to realize she still felt disconnected from herself. Together, she and Whitney talk about how women can lose themselves in motherhood, marriage, work, and trying to meet everyone else's expectations. They also dig into boundaries, guilt, people-pleasing, and why wanting more for your life doesn't make you selfish. It usually means there's a part of you asking to be heard.   If you've ever felt guilty for wanting more or wondered why life feels heavy even when it looks good on the outside, this one will speak to you.   Here's what you can look forward to in this episode: What "good girl conditioning" is and how it shapes women's lives Why wanting more doesn't mean you're ungrateful or selfish The hidden cost of people-pleasing and overgiving Why boundaries are essential for protecting your energy Learning to trust your desires and inner voice again How to stop living only through roles like mom, wife, or career title Practical ways to reconnect with who you are beneath expectations   Reflection question to ponder:  What do I want?   Learn more about 1:1 coaching with Whitney - book a 15-minute Spark Session   Connect with Whitney: Instagram l Website l 5 Days to Less Stress, More Satisfaction l Tend to Your Soul Toolkit l 10 Soulful Journaling Prompts | Electric Ideas Podcast   Connect with Emilie: Instagram | Website | Private Podcast Series
