    165. Breaking Free from "Good Girl" Conditioning with Lauren Redding

    This week, we’re diving into a topic that has shaped so much of how we, as women, show up in the world: "good girl" conditioning and patriarchal trauma. In this episode, I sit down with Lauren Redding, a licensed clinical social worker and doctoral candidate, to unpack the emotional, psychological, and physical toll of living in a system that devalues women. We break down what "good girl" conditioning really is—the societal pressure to be quiet, compliant, and self-sacrificing—and how it impacts our mental health, relationships, and sense of worth. Lauren also shares practical tools to help us rewire our nervous systems, release these toxic patterns, and reconnect with our true selves. Here’s what you’ll learn in this episode: What "good girl" conditioning and patriarchal trauma are and how they affect us. How these pressures lead to burnout, anxiety, and feelings of unworthiness. Proven strategies to regulate your nervous system and heal from these ingrained patterns. The importance of inner child work and practicing self-compassion. How patriarchal trauma impacts men and women of color differently. Lauren even shares powerful techniques like butterfly tapping and why reconnecting with our inner child is a game-changer. Plus, we touch on how this conditioning affects men and why healing is vital for everyone. Learn more about Lauren here. And don’t miss Lauren’s Taylor Swift-inspired podcast, TheraSwifts.
