Are you exhausted from always trying to be nice? In this episode of the Nearly Normal Podcast, we’re diving into the “Good Girl Wound”—a deeply ingrained pattern that teaches women to stay quiet, avoid conflict, and prioritize others at the cost of their own mental health.
Join your favorite nearly-normal hosts as we unpack how this wound shows up in daily life, how it affects your self-worth, anxiety levels, and relationships, and—most importantly—how to break free from the pressure to please.
We'll give you mental health tips, boundary-setting strategies, and mindset shifts to help you stop apologizing for existing and start showing up as your authentic, empowered self.
Whether you're a recovering people-pleaser or just starting to question the “good girl” narrative, this episode is your permission slip to stop shrinking and start healing.
