The Good Girl Role: How It Starts & Why It Follows You Into Marriage
Mon Feb 02 2026
You've been the "good girl" your whole life.
The one who keeps the peace.
The one who smooths things over, explains herself, and carries everyone else's emotions so no one gets upset.
And now you're exhausted, resentful, and quietly disconnected from yourself.
Imagine if you could speak your truth without blowing up your relationship.
Imagine setting boundaries without guilt.
Imagine no longer abandoning yourself just to be liked, chosen, or kept safe.
In this episode of No More Good Girl, I'm breaking down why being "nice" was never the same as being kind — and how the good girl survival strategies that kept you safe as a child are now costing you your voice, your passion in your relationship, and your peace.
This conversation is for the woman who knows she's meant for more… but keeps shrinking to avoid conflict.
Inside this episode, you'll learn how to:
✔️ Recognize how people-pleasing and over-explaining are trauma responses — not personality traits
✔️ Stop managing your partner's emotions and take your power back
✔️ Understand why staying silent to "keep the peace" actually destroys relationships
✔️ Set boundaries with clarity and kindness (without becoming someone you're not)
✔️ Assert yourself early so resentment doesn't build later
You don't need to be nicer.
You don't need to explain better.
You don't need to try harder.
You need to stop abandoning yourself.
