Why Good Girls Finish Last - Would it kill you to smile?

Why is it usually women organising the office party 🎉, buying the farewell card 💌, and volunteering for the behind-the-scenes work that keeps things running - but rarely gets recognised? 🤔 It starts way earlier than you think. 👶 In this episode, we’re unpacking Good Girl Syndrome, the unspoken rules that teach women to be agreeable, self-sacrificing, and “nice” at the expense of their own success. From the moment we are born, unconscious bias shapes our world, think: pink for girls 🎀, blue for boys 💙; dolls for her 🧸, trucks for him 🚗. And it doesn’t stop there. These early messages grow into workplace expectations that reward “niceness” in women and confidence in men. 💼 Remember when Grace Tame wore that bold "disrespectful" T-shirt on Australia Day 🇦🇺 and people were more offended by her outfit 👕 than the message behind it? 🚫 That is what happens when women step outside the “good girl” box. But this isn’t just a conversation for women. If you are a dad 👨‍👧, uncle 👨‍👧‍👦, mentor 🤝, or leader 🌟 we want you in this too. Because raising girls who know their worth starts with teaching them to have a voice 🎤, not just to be 'nice'. 🔥 Ready to stop playing small and start owning your voice? 🎧 Hit play. Get inspired. And let’s rewrite the rules together. ✊ #WhyGoodGirlsComeLast #UnconsciousBias #RaiseStrongGirls #ThelmaAndLouisePodcast 🚀
