Uncaged Episode: The Good Girl is Exhausted

When does being a good person start costing you too much?

It was a pleasure to continue speaking with Dr. Sandra Marie from Wild Souls Gathering and Spiral Rebellion about my new course, Uncaged: Free Yourself, Reclaim Your Life. We have a four-part series, and this is Episode 2.

The episode is called "The Good Girl Is Exhausted"

In Episode 2 of The Uncaged Conversations, we take on the exhausted Good Girl, Good Man, and Good Kid and the invisible cages of obligation and perfectionism.

We explore people-pleasing, resentment, the pressure to keep everyone happy, and what happens when doing the “right” thing slowly becomes a way to abandon yourself. The conversation gets especially interesting when I connect everyday choices, even something as simple as saying yes to a dinner you don’t want to attend, to giving away your power.

We explore the difference between genuine generosity and obligation, why saying no can feel so uncomfortable, and why we often resent other people for choices we actually made ourselves.

Maybe the question isn’t whether you’re a good person. Maybe it’s how much of yourself you’ve given up to prove you are worthy.
