  If this wasn't the truth!!! Recovering people pleaser here and I will no longer say no to myself to say yes to someone else at the cost to myself. I'm currently working on giving myself permission to relax without feeling guilty because I didn't "earn" it.

  Love your messages! The part of being a good girl that I am tired of and letting go is the part that tries to help other people feel comfortable when it is really their behavior that is affecting the comfort in the room. Not my job anymore

  Thank you for this video! I shrunk myself so many times believing it would keep me safe and in actuality it kept me in a state where I would get abused in various ways. When I started going to therapy and working on myself that when I notice my behavior was attracting certain people to me. I agree we are told and taught to be the good girl but over time it becomes detrimental to our well being leading to more abuse.

  I actually put this video on while working. I started having palpitations...my work is where I feel most of these emotions. I created a facade to get ahead in corporate, and I&apos;ve truly done well for myself. But something happened when I turned 33, I resent having to present this fake mask and &quot;good girl&quot; facade. The real me is a savagely intolerant creature; she is demanding and carefree. Still trying to live authentically

  Love your words, love your style. Part of the good girl mindset of minimizing myself that really annoys me is I feel like if I let the people in my life who ask for more of my energy than I can afford to give see that I&apos;m happy and doing well, they&apos;ll ask for more. It&apos;s like, no, I am taking care of myself, please don&apos;t ask me to stop my progress and start pouring into you at my own expense. Almost makes me mad enough to say no without apologizing!

  I was her .. till I got screwed one too many times and I realized people thought I was weak….😂😂😂. I have felt like I’m floating on air … I feel wonderful… free from the desire to be good. My character speaks for it self!

  &quot;I enjoy and respect you&quot; so much, ma&apos;am. &nbsp;That was a compliment that a co-worker gave me and I appreciate it so much.

  I am always the real me, even when I&apos;m learning and growing or when I was a different version of myself.
