Many of us were raised to be “good girls” - girls who strive to perform perfectly, fearing criticism; who try to please everyone, fearing rejection; and who protect others, fearing abandonment.
In the short term, these behaviors often win us the appreciation, recognition, and love of others. But in the long term, they can lead to exhaustion, loss of self-identity, resentment, and worse.
In this powerful episode, Dr. Jodi talks with Dr. Michelle McQuaid, co-founder of The Good Girl Game Changers, to better understand the good girl dilemma, what we can do to make meaningful change for ourselves now, and how we can parent in ways that break the cycle.
