Love Note Series To Women Leaders Part 2: The "Good Girl" Compulsion Ruining Your Success
Season 2 Episode 6
In part two of the Love Note series, Rachele Kehler, Women's Alignment Coach, explores the hidden role of the “good girl” and how her compulsion to please, adapt, and play nice can block women from authentic leadership. From childhood patterns of being praised for responsibility and quietness to adult struggles with people-pleasing, perfectionism, and self-censorship, Rachele unpacks how these roles disconnect women from their feminine fire, their voice, and even their bodies.
This episode is a call to break free from performative leadership and step into self-devotion, feminine power, and unapologetic authenticity.
What You’ll Hear in This Episode:
- Why the “good girl” conditioning shows up as people-pleasing, perfectionism, and fear of abandonment
- How childhood survival roles still shape women’s leadership and relationships
- The cost of self-censoring and creating for others instead of leading from truth
- The link between feminine leadership, nervous system safety, and authentic self-expression
- Why devotion to self is the foundation of sustainable success
