Beth Clayton: F*ck the Good Girl Rules

Send us a text

What if the “good girl” in you isn’t your personality—it’s a nervous system survival strategy? In this rich and revealing episode, embodiment coach Beth Clayton breaks down the “good girl” protector archetypes and how they live in the body. We talk about how early conditioning around approval and belonging shapes our adult patterns of people-pleasing, achievement, and avoidance—and what it takes to begin reclaiming choice. This conversation is both tender and activating, especially for women who are ready to trade performance for presence and rewrite the rules of their own lives.

Topics:

• “Good girl” conditioning + protector archetypes
• Nervous system work + body-based healing
• Patriarchal performance patterns
• Embodiment as rebellion
• Shame, self-worth, and visibility
• Unlearning people-pleasing
• Power, softness, and reclaiming voice
• Self-liberation through body awareness
