687: The Good Girl Hangover: When “Being Nice” Starts Costing You

Have you ever said yes when you meant no, held it together, and then felt flat or resentful afterward?

That feeling is what I call the good girl hangover.

In this episode, I share what the good girl hangover really is, why it sneaks up on so many women, and how the pattern quietly pulls you away from your truth. We explore the subtle signs you’re in a good girl season and why overgiving often feels safer than being honest.

I also walk you through three simple but powerful shifts to help you step out of people-pleasing without guilt, self-judgment, or swinging into rebellion. These shifts bring you back into self-trust, clarity, and emotional safety.

This conversation is a loving invitation to stop abandoning yourself to be liked and start choosing honesty instead.

You don’t need to become harder.

You just need to become truer.
