Breaking Free from the "Good Girl" religious trap Crissy Powers, quick Tips
from Air-Check Your Life · host Mathew Blades Media
If I only had you for five minutes, what would I want you to know? That is the very premise behind our QUICK TIPS episodes. Chrissy's story starts with a familiar tune - the pressure to be the "good girl" in a strict religious household. Sound familiar? Many of us grow up thinking we need to fit into a specific mold to be worthy of love and acceptance. But here's the kicker: I grew up with a specific theology called Calvinist theology, where they teach you that you are bad, you are sinful, you are wicked and evil, and that you can't trust yourself, that the only good thing in you is Jesus. This belief system left Chrissy feeling disconnected from her true self, constantly striving for approval and battling with the fear of being "bad." It's a struggle many of us can relate to, whether we grew up in a religious household or not.
