EP19: Confessions of a recovering "good girl" [S2E7]

from If not now, then when...? (The Midlife Experiment) · host Sonja McKaiser

So many of us were taught how to be ​"good girls​". You know, don​'t be too much​, don​'t be too loud​, keep the peace​, and so on, and so on... And somewhere along the way, we learnt to abandon parts of ourselves in order to be liked, accepted, and safe.In this episode, ​I share my own journey as a recovering good girl​, the patterns I​'m unlearning, the ways I​’ve held myself back, and what getting out of my own way looks like.This is an invitation to notice where you might still be playing small, ​censoring yourself, or seeking approval​. And to gently begin loosening your grip on that version of you. Because the woman you’re becoming​ isn't here to be good. She’s here to be free.​Sending so much love! PS: come follow me on ⁠Instagram⁠, ⁠Facebook⁠ and ⁠⁠SUBSTACK⁠⁠!
