Are you living for yourself or for the expectations of others?

In this episode, I sit down with Ashley Jordan, author of Unhappy Achiever: Rejecting the Good Girl Image & Reclaiming the Joy of Inner Fulfillment, to discuss the power of shedding societal expectations and embracing authenticity in life and business.

Ashley shares her transformative journey of self-discovery, offering insights and actionable steps for breaking free from people-pleasing, perfectionism and the patriarchy so you can reconnect with what truly matters.

We discuss:

• The impact of societal, familial, and cultural expectations on women’s lives and businesses.
• How perfectionism creates barriers to joy, self-worth, and genuine relationships.
• Why breaking the rules and releasing the “good girl” image is a game-changer for female entrepreneurs.

This conversation serves as a powerful reminder for women to stand firm and expect to be acknowledged on YOUR terms, challenging traditional paradigms that no longer serve you. If you’re ready to release the weight of external expectations (as well as your own!) and live the life you were meant to live, this episode will inspire and empower you to embrace your perfectly imperfect self!
