Who taught you how to be “good”? And at what cost?

In this tender, illuminating episode, Dawn Morningstar and Dr. Mary Newstrom lovingly unpack the Good Girl conditioning many women have carried for generations — the quiet rules, unspoken expectations, and inherited beliefs that shaped who we learned to be in order to be accepted, safe, and loved.

Together, they explore where the Good Girl archetype came from, how it lives in our bodies and choices, and how it may be silently limiting our joy, voice, power, and authenticity. With compassion, humor, and deep spiritual wisdom, this conversation invites you to gently question what you’ve been taught — and to reclaim the parts of you that are ready to rise, speak, and live more freely.

This is an episode for every woman who has ever felt the pull between being “good” and being true.
