We grow up in cultures that tell us: be respectful, get educated, keep your head down, stay “in the right lane,” and everything will fall into place. But what happens when you do all of that, and the life you were promised still doesn’t come to fruition? In this episode, we unpack the Good Girl Syndrome in the Ugandan and African context: the grief of a life that never came to pass, the shame and respectability politics that keep women stuck, and the exhaustion of being “the dependable one.” From chronic people-pleasing to cultural expectations of sacrifice, we ask, how do you reclaim your life when you’ve lived it for everyone else? And what does healing look like in a society that’s still watching, still judging?Subscribe & follow us:Instagram:⁠ @sheknowsbestpod⁠TikTok: @sheknowsbestpod
