In this powerful and deeply personal episode, we dive into the heart of Good Girl Syndrome—that unspoken pressure many Latinas feel to always be polite, self-sacrificing, obedient, and "perfect." Rooted in cultural expectations, family dynamics, and generational narratives, this mindset can hold us back from living authentically and unapologetically.

Rosario unpacks how Good Girl Syndrome shows up in everyday life—from saying yes when we mean no, to staying silent to keep the peace—and how it especially affects Latinas navigating two cultures. We explore what it means to reclaim your voice, set boundaries without guilt, and rewrite the story for future generations.

Whether you’ve just started questioning these patterns or you're deep in the work of self-liberation, this episode is a loving but firm reminder: You don’t have to shrink to be loved. You don’t have to please to belong.
