These are very feminine indicators and experiences.
That's exactly right, which is kind of what I feel is part of this chain breaking moment.
You felt forced to grow up before you were truly ready.
You felt your needs and wants mattered to your parents more before your sibling was born.
More than half of my thousand women identified as the caretaker.
And when you start thinking about how many of us in this caretaker archetype that we were talking about earlier, how many of us are hardwired to please?
and hardwired to equate worthiness to how well we are caring for the outside.
All of that suppression or selflessness is heralded in so many homes, cultures, regions.
Part of me was hoping that the good girl phenomenon was just an American thing.
but it is not.
What's coming back to the epigenetics is that the genes that are turning on and off are responding to inputs that we are giving our own DNA.
that the body is listening to what we're doing, what we're choosing, what we're opting in for, what we're not opting in for, what we're hiding, what we're expressing.
To go back to the youngest daughters that I was talking about a second ago, the entire group of youngest daughters
were cancer-free, chronic illness-free, and autoimmune-free.
They were all healthy.
So that was this other layer of how epigenetics are playing into what our genes are turning on and off.
I am not saying that this is your fault.
And I had to approach that reckoning with myself because I absolutely had my own victimization issues.
Why is this happening to me?
Look how good I am.
