Calling All "Good Girls"

As adult women, why is it so difficult to answer the question, "What do I want for myself?" Why does it feel uncomfortable to claim our desires? In this episode, Dr. Becky explores the good girl conditioning we've been taught since childhood and challenges women to break free from these constraints. She inspires us to embrace being inconvenient, and put ourselves first.

Today’s episode is brought to you by Life360:

As older kids approach their teen years, we want them to feel more independent. And this is also true: When we’re no longer the ones getting them from point A to point B, we need to know they’ve made it to their destination. So, what's one way we can keep our teens safe while validating their (developmentally appropriate) need for separation? Good Inside just teamed up with Life360, the leading family safety app that helps parents navigate this delicate balance, to bring you a FREE video series on how to talk about tough topics, like peer pressure and curfews, with your teen. With customized locations for frequent destinations like school and practice, automated arrival notifications, and even driving reports that help teach good behind-the-wheel habits, Life360 lets teens spread their wings while giving parents peace of mind. Visit Good Inside’s YouTube page—www.youtube.com/@ goodinside—to watch now! And to learn more about how Life360 can support your family’s safety journey, head to Life 360.com.
