Episode Synopsis

So many of us learned early on that being ‘good’ kept us safe. We read the room, smoothed the edges, and made sure everyone else was okay - even if it meant disappearing ourselves.In this episode, I talk about the Good Girl Wound - how fawning begins as a brilliant survival strategy, not a flaw. I share how this pattern took root in my own childhood and how it quietly shapes the way women show up in midlife - exhausted, over-functioning, and disconnected from who they truly are.If you’ve ever wondered why you can’t stop people-pleasing even when you know it’s burning you out, this one’s for you.And if you want to receive my weekly newsletter that gives you a written version of this, the link is here: https://www.healforlifeprograms.com/newsletter
