When ‘being the good girl’ rears its head in adulthood

So many of the women I speak to come to the same realisation on their coaching journey:

They spent their childhood being the good girl…the quiet one…the easy one…

They learnt that their value was connected to how much they pleased others…

But now, they’re burning out, spiritually numb, and have lost a sense of who they are.

And the idea of saying no? It’s terrifying – because their identity is so attached to what they do for others.

I won’t lie – it is a big task to challenge something we’ve carried since childhood. But, it is possible – through values work, reframing, and even rehearsing boundry-setting conversations.

If that sounds like something you need, you know where to find me.
