Unlonely with Dr. Jody Carrington Good Girl Conditioning Burnout: Why High-Achieving Women Hide Their Light - Grace Emmons
If you’ve done everything “right” and still feel anxious, disconnected, and like you’re somehow failing…this one is for you.
Dr. Jody and Grace Emmons unpack good girl conditioning burnout: how patriarchy, perfectionism, and people-pleasing can make high-achieving women look fine on the outside while quietly falling apart on the inside. Grace shares her own rock-bottom (including why she felt stuck in a toxic relationship) and the surprising moment that reignited her sense of aliveness.
They also get practical about what it means to “wake up” again: intuitive vision, how intuition actually shows up (it’s not one-size-fits-all), and why reconnection to yourself might be the most important antidote to the disconnection we’re living in.
In this episode:
- Why “doing it all” became the new impossible standard
- The hidden cost of people-pleasing + perfectionism
- How to tell intuition from anxious mental chatter
- Five ways intuition can communicate (and how to find yours)
- Spiritual connection without the pressure of organized religion
- Why technology can deepen loneliness—and what to do instead
