The PurposeGirl Podcast: Empowering women to live their purpose with courage, joy, and fierce self-love.

One of the biggest things that hold back women from truly living their purpose is falling prey to the Good Girl Syndrome, saying yes when we mean no, agreeing to do things we don't really want to do, suppressing our own wants and needs in order to do what others ask or expect of us. In today's episode we're blowing up the Good Girl Syndrome so we can step into being the wise, wild, unleashed woman that we were born to be. How to know if you have Good Girl Syndrome Get clear on how being a Good Girl is impacting you and your life What to do if you're a people pleaser, you "should" all over yourself and you lack boundaries How to know when to say "yes" and when to say "no" How to take back your power, and shift from being a Good Girl to becoming a wise, wild, unleashed woman.

Think about some of the things that really make you happy. Now, how often do you do them? Probably not as often as you really, truly could, right? And why is that? If you're like me and so many others, your brain probably comes up with a whole host of reasons why you can't do some of the things that would really make you happy! This is so common, AND, this is something you can change! In today's episode I talk about: Why our brains throw up roadblocks to doing what makes us happy. How we can overcome those blocks. How I shifted from, "I can't," to, "How can I?" and how you can, too. The judger path vs. the learner path, and how this framework can help you view your options very differently. The importance of both/and, instead of either/or. This is SUCH a juicy episode! I want to welcome AnaLuisa as a new sponsor of The PurposeGirl Podcast!

I grew up saturated by messages that women deserve less than men. Maybe you did, too. Like so many women, I settled for the crumbs instead of expecting more, because that's what I thought I deserved. It's taken me a long time and a lot of personal work to unleash myself from those old, unhealthy beliefs, and in this episode I want to help you do the same! I'm talking about: The subtle – and not so subtle – ways in which women have been told that they deserve less than men Where are you accepting the crumbs instead of demanding and expecting the whole damn cake? How I've come to understand the importance of treating myself How we can develop self-compassion as a tool to overcome our old stories of being unworthy An exercise I call a "desire deep-dive" The importance of saying – and believing that – I Am Worthy!

On paper, some people seem to have a perfect life – a loving spouse, healthy happy kids, a successful career, a comfortable home – and yet they struggle with crippling anxiety or depression. I'm sure some of you can relate. I know I can. My guest today has experienced this as well and has made it her mission, her purpose, to help others navigate their emotions and sensitivities in order to truly be happy and thrive. Stick around and hear Melissa Bernstein of Melissa & Doug fame talk about: Why she never felt like she fit in with this world Her thoughts about suicide and how she coped with existential depression The impact it had on her to not fully accept who she truly was How inner darkness fueled her creativity How she made a shift from this dark place and turned her life around Her new passion project, the entirely free ecosystem that she and her husband Doug have created, Lifelines, to support people, show them they're not alone, and help them find meaning in their lives You do NOT want to miss this episode!

As women we're often judged for the decisions we make related to work and family: How can you work full time and have a child? That's not fair to your baby! Being a full-time mom and not working outside the home is so old-fashioned! How can you place work above family and choose not have kids? And sadly, it's often women who are the most cruel to other women for exactly this! Well, I'm calling BS on all of that! No one has the right to tell us how we can or can't make our lives work, how we must balance work and family. We get choose what we want, we get to create new rules, and I talk about how you can do exactly that, including: Why we must unleash ourselves from those old rules Why it's important for our kids to see us live our purpose Why I hired a coach before going on maternity leave How I set up my family for financial success even while I took time off to have my baby Why it's important to have a plan to make things easier How to rethink your time and your schedule to have what you want How you can stand in your worth, and why it's so important You can NOT afford to miss this episode!

Sometimes, the most powerful thing you can do is to just say 'fuck it.' What's the worst that could happen? Sure, our anxious minds and ego brains tell us tons and tons of scary, stressful stories that make us feel like we will die if the worst case scenario happens. But Sister, that fear is one of the biggest things that holds us back. And it has come time for you to just say 'fuck it.' It's about doing the damn thing WITH the fear. It's about recognizing that the worst case scenario is actually the one that holds us from our dreams and desires. Today, we're talking about: What finally caused me to say "fuck it" A specific tool from Positive Psychology that you can use when you're feeling anxious or triggered by the idea of doing (or not doing) something to help you feel confident in your decision, no matter what you decide Evidence that saying "fuck it" WORKS - not just for me, but for my clients, my family, and how it'll work for you, too. A special invitation from me to you to say "fuck it" and join me in either Miami and/or Paris!
