Episode 11: How to Drop the Good Girl Mask
Why the Good Girl Mask Feels So Heavy
Most women are taught from childhood to play the part of the “good girl.” Be agreeable. Don’t upset anyone. Stay inside the lines. By midlife, the mask becomes unbearable. It silences your instincts, drains your energy, and leaves you questioning who you really are.
This episode dives into what it takes to finally shed the good girl mask and step into your wild, unfiltered self.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode
How the good girl mask is built through childhood conditioning
The cost of staying small and agreeable for too long
Why midlife is the season when the mask starts to crack
How Human Design centers and Gene Keys patterns reveal where you’ve been performing
First steps toward reclaiming your energy, voice, and authentic presence
Human Design on Identity
Where conditioning may creep in for each human design type
The Nine Centers: Each one shows how conditioning shapes identity — from an open Heart proving worth, to an open Solar Plexus avoiding conflict.
Profile Lines: Patterns that show how you naturally move through life and how the “good girl” mask distorts them.
Human design is a mirror that can help you see the places you’ve been performing and the wild essence that’s always been underneath.
