441-How the Good Girl Syndrome Shapes Women’s Relationship with Food and Body
Ever wonder why smart, self-aware women still struggle with body image—even when they know diets don’t work?
In this episode, I dive into the Good Girl Syndrome and how it silently shapes our relationship with food, our bodies, and our sense of self-worth.
You’ll learn:
- What the Good Girl Syndrome is and how it’s formed
- How women are socialized to seek worth through appearance and obedience
- Why diet culture thrives on perfectionism, people-pleasing, and shame
- The real reason clients “can’t let go” of weight loss goals
- How to coach beyond food rules—at the belief and identity level
- Tools to help your clients reclaim inner safety and self-validation
This is the deeper mindset work your clients need—and maybe you do too.
Listen in and let’s break the cycle together.
