Ep 72 Recovering from Good Girl Syndrome with Kate Bartley

Welcome back, dear listener! Today, I’m joined by my friend Kate Bartley, founder of She Walks in Wellness and a powerhouse in the world of holistic health and transformation. Kate is a Master Holistic Health & Life Transformation Coach, a Physical Therapist, a cancer survivor, a surgical menopause warrior, and a self-described recovering over-giver. She works with exhausted caregivers and service-driven professionals who feel like they’ve tried everything but still don’t feel better—helping them reconnect with their own personalized path to wellness so they can finally feel like themselves again.

Kate’s journey of healing, both personally and professionally, led her to develop The FREEDOM Formula, a unique approach where emotional health opens the door for physical transformation. And now, she’s bringing that wisdom to the world through her new book, The Good Girl Rx, which explores how deeply ingrained "Good Girl Syndrome" keeps so many of us stuck in exhaustion, over-giving, and self-doubt.

In our conversation, we dive into what "Good Girl Syndrome" is, how it erodes self-trust, and the tools Kate has discovered to help people break free from it. She also shares the personal challenges she faced while writing and releasing this book—because even when you teach this stuff, the old patterns can still show up.

If you’ve ever felt trapped by perfectionism, people-pleasing, or the pressure to always be "good," this episode is for you. Let’s dive in!
