129: The Mask of the Good Girl

If you grew up socialized as a woman, and you identify as a highly sensitive person, there's a good chance that you suffer from what is referred to as 'good girl' conditioning."Good girl" is a phrase tossed around a lot on social media these days and it's something that most of my clients struggle with deeply.

In this episode, my intention is to unpack my version of what good girl conditioning means to me.

This is a mask I know all too well. Plagued by my own insecurity and unworthiness, I wore the mask of good girl to appease and belong. I never wanted to ruffle a single feather. However the costs of the good girl reeked havoc on every area of my life and my relationships.

Before listening to this episode consider:

• Were you taught that if you stayed small, followed the rules, obeyed, and didn’t question that you would stay safe and be protected?
• Were you taught to stay in good favor with others even at the cost of your own self betrayal?
• Do you secretly feel resentment toward others in your life?
• Do you NEVER experience any sort of conflict in your life?
• Are you a rule follower to the extreme?
• Do you have to always get things perfect before putting them out into the world.

If so, you might be wearing the mask of the good girl. In this episode I share two simple and potent exercises for helping you being to explore how this might show up in your life and where it can be blocking you from everything you deserve.

"The good girl focuses on being polite, virtuous, palatable, pretty, youthful, respectful and respectable ... at the cost of her soul, values, desires, and her authenticity."~Krista Resnick

"Right now, the world is crying out for more women to heal from this good girl conditioning and can access their full intuition, creativity and agency and lead from a place of fierce compassion."~Krista Resnick
