978. Terri Cole’s Guide to Breaking Generational Patterns of Good Girl Syndrome

If you’ve ever felt drained from constantly over-giving or managing everyone else’s needs, this episode with psychotherapist and Too Much author Terri Cole is the wake-up call you didn’t know you needed. In Part 2, Terri uncovers how high-functioning codependency keeps us stuck in cycles of over-responsibility and how this impacts our closest relationships—and even our health.

Terri reveals her strategies like “resentment inventory,” redefining your “VIP section,” and tools for self-reflection. She walks us through the steps to take back our power, communicate boundaries, and release the pressure to “fix” everyone around us. PLUS, she dives into the importance of letting go of guilt and facing any pushback with strength and compassion. If you’re ready to build healthier, balanced relationships and reclaim your energy, Terri’s techniques will guide you there.

HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS:

The Resentment Inventory. Identify where you feel resentment in your life. This inventory helps pinpoint situations where you’re over-giving or sacrificing your own needs, laying the foundation for boundary-setting.
Redefine Your “VIP Section.” Not everyone deserves a spot in your life’s “VIP section.” Prioritize relationships that nourish you, set boundaries to protect your emotional energy and foster balanced connections.
“Good Girl Syndrome”. Many are conditioned to please others at their own expense. Learn the ways to recognize and shift this mindset, encouraging self-respect and authenticity over people-pleasing.
Teaching Kids Healthy Boundaries. For parents, raising kids who understand that it’s okay to say no and set limits. Modeling boundaries teaches children to prioritize their well-being and empowers them to avoid the same “good girl” or “good boy” patterns.
