Have you ever done everything "right" — followed the rules, hit your goals, kept the peace — and still felt off in your body? In this episode, I'm breaking down the "good girl myth": five deeply conditioned patterns (rules, perfection, logic, harmony, and sacrifice) that many of us follow believing they'll earn us love and approval — and how they actually override our intuition and show up as real, physical symptoms. This one's inspired by Majo Molfino's book Break the Good Girl Myth, and I'm giving it my own spin through the lens of health, the body, and the nervous system. Book Link I also get personal about my own good-girl conditioning as a first-generation American with Syrian roots, and how it quietly shaped everything from how I ate to who I let myself love.
