The Good Girl Syndrome Is Destroying Indian Women

Self-love is something we hear about all the time — but very few of us actually understand what it looks like in real life.In this episode of The Masoom Minawala Show, I sit down with Kavyal Sedhani, a hypnotherapist, for a clear, no-noise conversation on self-worth, boundaries, and a woman’s relationship with herself.This isn’t about surface-level confidence, affirmations, or “just think positive.”
 It’s about understanding the patterns we’ve been living with — often unconsciously — and how they show up in our choices, our relationships, and our decisions.From people-pleasing to undercharging, from guilt to financial insecurity, this episode breaks down what it really means to choose yourself.In this episode, we talk about: • What self-love actually looks like in everyday decisions • Why high-achieving women still feel “not enough” • How women abandon themselves without realising it • Boundaries, guilt, and the pressure to be “nice” • People-pleasing and its link to low self-worth • Why women tolerate disrespect longerThis episode is for you if you are:* Doing well on paper but still feel “not enough”
 • Struggling to set boundaries without guilt
 • Constantly people-pleasing or over-explaining
 • Earning but not feeling financially secure
 • Hesitant to ask for more — in money or relationships

 It’s shaped in the small choices you make every single day.And the moment you start choosing yourself — everything begins to shift.Social Media: My Instagram:   / masoomminawala  My LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.c...About Me: A global influencer and entrepreneur, who aims at bringing Indian fashion on a global platform and popularity.
