We're delving into a topic that resonates deeply with many women - a phenomenon known as the 'good girl' complex or sometimes referred to as the 'good girl syndrome.' This is a concept that has permeated our culture and society, and it paints a very specific picture of how women 'should' behave.

When societal expectations are imposed to such a stringent and uncompromising degree, that they begin to feel less like guidelines and more like chains is when these qualities, that may very well be good ones, become a problem. When the desire to please others overshadows one's own needs and desires, then we're navigating in the territory of the 'good girl' syndrome

The 'good girl' complex impacts our  lives, our mental health, relationships, careers, and yes, our experience with our sexuality. But how does it specifically impact our ability to experience more pleasure? Listen in and find out.

What You’ll Learn from this Episode:

  • What actually is the definition of the ‘good girl’ complex and how it differs from very attractive qualities
  • How rebelling directly against the good girl guidelines isn’t necessarily the way to find your authentic truth
  • Ways in which the good girl complex impacts our ability to access pleasure that directly and indirectly have to do with sexuality
  • What is on the other side of the good girl shackles
