Hands Up If You're Human
From "Good Girl" to "Good Girl Deprogrammer" - Finding Your Freedom with Michelle Minnikin
This time I’m speaking with someone on a mission. A mission of “Good Girl” deprogramming.
An Occupational Psychologist by training, a diagnosis of ADHD in 2020 was the spotlight Michelle Minnikin needed to understand herself and highlight the coercive control the systems society and culture impose on women especially.
Michelle is crystal clear when it comes to her own values, freedom (perfect for this podcast), fun and autonomy, and that to break the patterns of coercive control whatever she now does has to meet two of her three values. Anything less and whatever it is it's a hard no.
What followed her diagnosis, her values work and her exploration of coercive control was a ferocious and empathetic drive to help “Good Girls” everywhere, deprogram themselves. And to support this mission she wrote her book, "Good Girl Deprogramming - Unleash the rebel within".
Join me as Michelle and I speak about what finding your freedom means to her, what she consistently finds herself creating freedom from, and what she's creating freedom to - spoiler alert, it's an army of "good girl deprogrammers" so the tremors you feel might just be her army mobilising.
