The Good Girl and the Inner Teenager

You may be familiar with the inner child and the inner adult, but when was the last time you thought about your inner teenager? In today’s episode, we’re exploring what qualities this often-forgotten inner part brings to the table. And, we’re exploring why those of us who grew up trying to embody the “good girl” might have struggled to fully tap into the potential of our inner teenager. The characters are seemingly at odds: as Sheryl explains, if the good girl is all about saying yes, the inner teenager is all about saying no. But with our loving adult at the helm, ready to guide both the child and the teenager to safety and freedom, what might they have to learn from each other? And what might they have to teach us now?  All this, and more, in today’s conversation.    References:  Little Women Play adaptation of The Diary of Anne Frank Gathering Gold Purity & Perfectionism episode Gathering Gold Sexual Sovereignty episode  Mae Martin’s SAP A Midsummer Night’s Dream Gathering Gold Summer episode Reviving Ophelia by Mary Pipher
