Episode 91 - Good Girls, Glinda and Upholding the Patriarchy

Send us a textWhen we cause harm to someone else, the good girl tendency is to feel shame and defensiveness. Instead, if we get to a place where we are generous and can grieve our mistakes, we can move on to be better versions of ourselves. In this episode, I talk about how the themes of Wicked relate to my journey of becoming an ex-good girl and the importance of self-compassion when you have to question your beliefs. Here’s what I cover:How the representation of power structures fueled by patriarchy in the Wicked movie relate to our societyWhy you can't grow into better versions of yourself without acknowledging that past versions made mistakesHow my experience as a member of the Mormon church has similarities to Glinda’s character arc in WickedTwo good-girl beliefs that are roadblocks to learning from our mistakes and becoming better friends and alliesHow we have been conditioned to react to shame and think negatively about changing our mindWhy we often jump to defend our beliefs instead of being open to the idea of exploring new onesI can't wait for you to listen!Read the Substack essay mentioned in the episode: Defying Gravity: Wicked and the Weight of Social Justice Find Sara here:https://sarafisk.coachhttps://pages.sarafisk.coach/difficultconversationshttps://www.instagram.com/sarafiskcoach/https://www.facebook.com/SaraFiskCoaching/https://www.tiktok.com/@sarafiskcoachhttps://www.youtube.com/@sarafiskcoaching1333 What happens inside the free Stop People Pleasing Facebook Community?
