79: From Good Girl to Badass: Unchecking the Boxes That Defined Me

Send us Fan Mail In this episode, I’m sharing a deeply personal and honest conversation about something so many high-achieving women experience—but rarely say out loud: You’ve done so many badass things… so why don’t you feel like one? From the outside, I looked successful. I had the title, the income, the achievements. But inside, I felt small. I second-guessed myself. I was constantly trying to prove, please, and perform. In this conversation, I open up about my journey from Good Girl to Badass Leader—what it really took to unlearn the conditioning that kept me playing small, and how I began to rebuild self-trust from the inside out. We talk about:  Why doing more, thinking more, or achieving more doesn’t solve self-doubt   How “Good Girl conditioning” gets wired into us—and how it silently runs the show   The difference between knowing you’re capable and actually feeling powerful   Why nervous system safety is the foundation of real confidence   The shift from forcing big leaps… to building safety through small, aligned steps  This isn’t about becoming someone new.  It’s about coming home to who you already are—beneath the conditioning. If you’ve ever felt like everyone else sees your power… but you don’t fully feel it yourself—this episode is for you.
