Good Girl Gone Human
Good Girl Gone Human is an ongoing conversation that explores what it means to re-humanize ourselves. After a lifetime of trying to be seen as “good,” Holly and Kristina are diving into the idea of what it would feel like to put that label down- and embrace the whole spectrum of their humanity. This conversation leans into the big messy questions, like: what are the risks of putting the good label down? What would happen if we did accept the whole spectrum of our humanity? They look at the ways we dehumanize ourselves in the name of being good and the tools they’ve found for reclaiming those parts of ourselves we deem “bad.” There is an invitation for anyone who has felt dehumanized to join the conversation and re-humanize themselves in community.

Ep 9: Reimagining Therapeutic Work with Elyse Snipes

Holly and Kristina return for Season Two with guest Elyse Snipes. Elyse shares how the title "therapist" has never felt like a good fit, even after working in that role for almost 20 years. Her work has evolved from doing therapy in an Airstream trailer by the beach to sitting on the beach side by side with people. This humanizing work aims to take the shame out of healing, bringing therapeutic work out into the world. They talk about the ways society views therapy and consider new entry points and invitations into this kind of healing work. If the price of admission has been brokenness, how can we approach therapy with a reimagined sense of wholeness and agency? The temptation to give our power away to those who have a perceived sense of authority makes so much sense and can even feel comforting. The work of healing from a place of inner authority, self-trust, and full agency can lead to more play, creativity, and self-acceptance.
