The Good Girl Archetype Makes You Invisible Blocking Your Throat Chakra and Confusing Your Purpose

Send us your thoughts!

Do you walk into a room and feel like you have slowly turned into a ghost in your own life? Or perhaps you speak up in a meeting only to be talked over like you aren't even there. You aren't imagining it. The "Invisibility Cloak" of midlife is real, but today we burn it.

If you have spent decades "keeping the peace" and fixing everyone else by swallowing your own truth, your Throat Chakra is closed tight. That literal lump you feel in your throat when you try to set a boundary isn't a cold—it is your body screaming at you to stop being polite. The "Good Girl" conditioning has taught you to prioritize others' comfort over your own voice, leaving you feeling silenced and erased.

In this ferocious episode, Dr. Julie teaches you the "Lion's Roar"—a somatic release technique designed to physically clear the blockage between your heart and your mouth. We explore why society wants midlife women to disappear and why you must refuse to go quietly. You will learn how to dissolve the "Invisibility Cloak" and reconnect with the power of your own voice.

You are not invisible; you are blindingly bright. Press play to learn how to clear your throat, drop the "Good Girl" act, and demand to be seen.

This podcast supports women healers over 50 navigating burnout, compassion fatigue, and midlife transitions with strategies for nervous system regulation, trauma-informed boundaries, and chakra alignment to heal resentment and self-neglect while cultivating soul joy, radiance, and a purposeful next chapter of freedom and inner peace.

(00:01):
Welcome to the 12 days ofRadiant's Reset.
We are ditching the holidayoverwhelm to take you from
exhausted and trapped to radiantand free.
This is your end of the yearreconnection.
So you walk into a meeting, youspeak and someone talks right

(00:21):
over you.
You stand in line at the coffeeshop and people look right
through you like you're part ofthe wallpaper.
You aren't imagining it.
The invisibility cloak ofmidlife is real.
But girl, today we burn it.

(00:42):
Empowering brilliant women inhealthcare over 50 to transform
burnout and compassion fatigueinto renewed passion.
Reigniting your spark to createa life that energizes you every
single day.
I'm your host, Dr.
Jules.
Let's get to it.

(01:04):
Are you finding it harder to beheard even though you have more
wisdom than ever before?
You need to listen to thisepisode right now for three
reasons.
We are breaking down thesocietal conditioning that tells
women over 50 to fade away.
I'm going to teach you how touse your voice to command

(01:26):
attention again withoutapologizing.
I'm also gonna explain thethroat chakra block.
Oh, those are real.
I'll show you why this oftenmanifests as thyroid issues,
chronic sore throats, or aphysical fear of speaking up.

(01:48):
And finally, we're doing thelion's roar.
This is a somatic exercise tophysically release the words
you've been swallowing fordecades.
So let's talk about thepsychology of all this.
There is a documented phenomenoncalled the Age of Invisibility,

(02:15):
and y'all, for professionalwomen like us, especially we
healers, doctors, nurses,counselors, leaders, this loss
of professional gaze feels likea death.
It feels like a loss ofidentity.
You spent decades climbing theladder, and suddenly society

(02:38):
decides you are no longerrelevant.
But here is the reframe.
This isn't a demotion, it's aninitiation.
You my friend, are transitioninginto the wise woman or the crone
archetype.
In ancient cultures, this wasthe most powerful phase of a

(03:01):
woman's life.
The crone doesn't need to belooked at.
She needs to be listened to.
The pain you feel isn't becauseyou're disappearing.
It is because you're trying toplay by the old rules of being
pleasing instead of the newrules of being powerful.

(03:26):
So let's look at the energyinvolved in this.
This lives in your throat, Chak.
This is your center of truth,your authenticity.
It is the bridge between yourheart, what you feel and your
head, what you think.
And if you've spent the last 20,30 years keeping the peace,

(03:49):
biting your tongue, or stayingpolite in the face of
disrespect, this chakra isconstricted.
It is closed, tight.
I have clients that tell me allthe time that they literally
feel a lump in their throat.
Maybe you are experiencing this,maybe you lose your voice when

(04:12):
you're trying to set a boundary,y'all, that is your body telling
you, girl, it is time to speakyour truth.
So how do we clear thisblockage?
Well, y'all, we've got to getloud.
We are going to do a yoga breaththat's called the lion's roar.

(04:34):
And I warn you, you're going tolook uber silly and I don't give
a flip.
Do it anyway.
You need this.
I want you to feel the release,so whatever you're doing,
cleaning your house, drivingyour car, exercising, take a
deep breath.

(04:56):
In through your nose, open youreyes as wide as they possibly
go.
Stick your tongue out and I meanall the way out like you're
trying to touch your chin.
And on that exhale, I want youto make a loud guttural ha from
your belly.

(05:18):
Ready?
Let's do it.
Inhale, tongue out.
Eyes wide.
Ha.
And do it again.
Feel that vibration in yourthroat.
That is you clearing thepathway.
That is you refusing to besilent.
You're not invisible sweet soul.

(05:40):
You are blindingly bright, butyou have to take that invisible
cloak off.
You need to know why you hid inthe first place.
Is it because you're a peoplepleaser or the invisible healer?
