S4 E1 - Drop The Good Girl Conditioning In Your 40s Before You Burn Out
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Are you a woman in your forties feeling overwhelmed, resentful, and bone-tired - and you can't quite explain why? In this first episode of Season 4, resilience coach Alex Pett digs into one of the most underestimated sources of midlife exhaustion: good girl conditioning.
Alex explores how women are taught from a young age to be agreeable, nice, and self-sacrificing - and how this deeply ingrained conditioning quietly drains your energy, disconnects you from yourself, and can lead to burnout if left unchecked.
In this episode:
- What good girl conditioning actually is (and why it's as old as time)
- Why your 40s is often the turning point where it stops working
- The real cost: self-doubt, resentment, imposter syndrome, and burnout
- How to start breaking free — from developing your intuition to setting boundaries and saying no
- Why being "difficult" might actually be the most radical and healthy thing you can do
If you're done performing for a society that expects you to stay small, this episode is for you.
