Good girl grooming: with Michelle McQuaid
In today’s episode Dr. Michelle McQuaid reveals the hidden impact of "Good Girl" conditioning, where women feel pressured to be perfect, please others, and silence themselves.
She shares how this mindset leads to burnout, resentment, and a loss of identity.
Key insights include:
While conforming might make others happy short-term, it comes at a significant cost, leading to burnout, resentment, and a loss of identity by the late 30s and early 40s.
Self-compassion, secure attachment to self, and self-leadership are crucial for healing from this conditioning and learning to put your own needs first.
Boys/Men face their own pressures, often around expressing emotions, which can affect their relationships and emotional well-being.
Breaking free from these patterns requires role modeling by older generations, and it’s never too late to start.
Dr. McQuaid also offers resources to help you assess and shift your mindset.
