If you’ve ever smiled when you wanted to cry, said yes when you wanted to scream no, or played the role of “the strong one” until it broke you—this episode is for you. I’m unpacking the “Good Girl” script and how it trains us to perform for approval at the expense of our truth. I’ll walk you through the emotional and physical cost of pretending, how this pattern gets wired into our nervous system, and what it takes to come back home to yourself. It’s time to stop abandoning yourself to keep the peace.In this episode, I cover the following:1. How the “good girl” script teaches women to perform, please, and pretend.2. Why pretending feels safe—but actually creates internal chaos.3. Small, practical shifts to stop abandoning yourself and start choosing truth.______________________________________[FREE TRAINING]How high-achieving women can DITCH anxiety in as little as five minutes a day www.brave-method.com/anxiety[FREE CALL]Book a free call to ask me questions directly and seeif we are a fit for working together. www.bravemethod.com/book[RESULTS]Which of these results do you want and inspire you the most? www.brave-method.com/testimonials💗 Dr. Steph @DrStephanieLopezwww.brave-method.com
