In this empowering episode, Holly pulls back the curtain on the deeply ingrained “Good Girl Syndrome”—the cultural conditioning that teaches women to stay small, be agreeable, and put everyone else’s needs before their own.
If you’ve ever said yes when you meant no, apologized just for taking up space, or felt guilty for setting a boundary, this episode is your permission slip to break free.
You’ll learn how patriarchal systems fuel these behaviors, what it’s really costing you to stay quiet, and three powerful steps you can take right now to reclaim your voice, set boundaries with confidence, and say no—without guilt.
🔑 Key Takeaways:
- Good Girl Syndrome isn’t a flaw—it’s a survival response to patriarchal conditioning.
- People-pleasing and self-silencing come at the cost of your joy, identity, and authenticity.
- You don’t need permission to speak your truth—you are the permission.
