WelcomeHello, lovelies. It’s Juliette here, and today I’m joined by the scrumptious Nikki St. Paul, coach, speaker, Good Girl Slayer, and founder of The Convicted Woman.In this conversation, we explore what it really means to stop performing, pleasing, perfecting, and waiting for permission.We speak about the subtle ways high-achieving women give their power away, through perfectionism, people-pleasing, comparison, overthinking, and the need to get it right before pressing go.Nikki shares her journey from almost two decades in the pharmaceutical industry into coaching, entrepreneurship, and helping women reclaim their conviction in business and life.This episode is about slaying the good girl.Not by becoming reckless or hardened, but by noticing the patterns that keep you small, moving through fear, and learning to back yourself before the proof arrives.📝 Episode SummaryIn this episode, Nikki and I explore the hidden patterns that hold ambitious women back.We discuss why so many high-functioning women do not recognise themselves as people-pleasers or perfectionists, and how these patterns often show up in quieter, more subtle ways.Nikki shares the five Good Girl archetypes, the Permission Seeker, the Chameleon, the Perfectionist, the Overachiever, and the Superwoman.Together, we speak about embodiment, nervous system shifts, movement, emotional capacity, sisterhood, business, visibility, and the power of celebrating every small win.This is not about becoming someone else.It is about coming back to the woman who already knows.🔎 Key TakeawaysGood Girl Patterns Can Be SubtlePeople-pleasing and perfectionism are not always obvious. They often hide inside diligence, over-researching, comparison, and waiting to feel ready.Conviction Comes Through ActionClarity does not arrive from thinking harder. It comes through movement, practice, and taking the next honest step.Your Body Knows Before Your Mind DoesFear, tension, overwhelm, and shutdown show up in the body. Shifting your state can be as simple as walking, shaking, breathing, or moving your hips.You Cannot Control PerceptionTrying to manage how others see you drains your energy. Freedom begins when you stop giving your power to other people’s opinions.Celebrate the Small WinsYour brain needs evidence that it is working. Every action, every wobble noticed, every brave move counts.🔗 Resources and LinksConnect with Nikki St. Paul and explore her work.Instagram: @iamnikkistpaulJoin The Conviction Room through Nikki’s link in bio.Learn more about her mastermind, The Convicted Woman, and her live event, Reclaim Her Life.I'd love to hear from you drop me a text!
