The "Good Girl" Syndrome: How Society Conditions Women to People-Please

Christy Lee Stephens Season 1 Episode 30

Let’s talk about the concept of "good girl syndrome," exploring how societal expectations often confine women to nurturing roles while suppressing their desires and ambitions. I discuss the historical roots of these limitations, which stem from patriarchy, and encourage you towards embracing boldness in both personal and professional spheres. Through practical strategies like setting boundaries, identifying true desires, and using creative tools like vision boards, I encourage listeners to break free from societal norms and prioritize their own needs. I want this episode to be a powerful call to action for women to empower themselves, challenge limiting beliefs, and live authentically, reminding them that they are worthy of expansive, fulfilling lives.
