2 | Retiring the Good Girl & Breaking the Vow of Silence

In this inaugural solo episode, I break a 34-year vow of silence and share the story that has shaped my voice, my work, and my devotion to women’s liberation through creative expression.  We unpack the “Good Girl” archetype—how it hypnotizes us into perfection, people-pleasing, and ultimately self-erasure—and why it so often births a hidden “Rebel/Bad Girl” in response. I reveal the secret at the root of both of these personas and how it blocked my self-expression and my relationship to my personal power for decades.  Content warning: This episode contains references to childhood sexual trauma. What you’ll hear: •  How the Good Girl becomes a gilded cage—and the cost of keeping it shiny •  Why rebellion rises in response •  The core secret that fuelled both personas for me •  What nervous-system safety has to do with creative freedom, telling the truth, and making your work public •  An invitation to start safely telling your own truth—on your timeline, in your body’s way—by joining me on a 90-minute 1:1 SIREN Call Connect + next steps Follow WHOLE HOUSE on Instagram and send me a DM!
