Many of us were raised to be “good girls” - girls who strive to perform perfectly, fearing criticism; who try to please everyone, fearing rejection; and who protect others, fearing abandonment.

In the short term, these behaviors often win us the appreciation, recognition, and love of others. But in the long term, they can lead to exhaustion, loss of self-identity, resentment, and worse.

In this powerful episode, Dr. Jodi talks with Dr. Michelle McQuaid, co-founder of The Good Girl Game Changers, to better understand the good girl dilemma, what we can do to make meaningful change for ourselves now, and how we can parent in ways that break the cycle.

Anxiety doesn’t discriminate. While we know this to be true, it’s rare to hear from a Clinical Psychologist who not only works with patients to manage anxiety but also has a personal anxiety journey he's happy to talk about. In this engaging conversation Dr Daniel Berends offers a unique perspective from both sides of the therapist’s couch.

He shares his journey to becoming a Clinical Psychologist after a 'gap decade', how the brain is wired to keep us 'safe, not happy', powerful metaphors to understand anxiety, what it's like practicing as a psychologist while also managing his own anxiety and practical ideas to help us all let go of worries and unhelpful thinking.
