The Liz Moody Podcast · New Research: Being A "Good Girl" Is Making You Sick (Really). Here's How + What To Do · 17 Jun 2026 podcast

So only, only 55% of women said that they changed their own permission slips when they were diagnosed with an incurable illness.

Because of the, quote, trouble.

Yeah.

And what I'd like to say about that is that so many of our wiring is from girlhood.

The fear of upsetting people and the need to feel that we're perceived as good or liked is a driving force that is very insidious to how we hold permission for our own lives.

Well, we don't know yet, do we?

For me, it was an exploration.

that yielded awareness, that yielded healing.

If this can offer any salve or permission from an outside source that wants these women well, wants my sisters emboldened and sovereign in their own lives and in their own needs,

I think it starts with permission that is reclaimed.

Half of it is internal and half of it is external.

So the internal piece of how I have regained my health, half of it is internal, which is about the permission I give myself, about the spaces that I live in and have experience in.

the kind of language I don't allow anymore, how authentic I am to my needs and my wants, and how much all of that is living in one body at the same time.

That's exactly right.

Okay.

Now, as it relates to the prescriptive bits, how did I do this?

I looked at the permission piece as I went along.

There was no manual for this.

There are amazing self-growth books and self-awareness and parenting the inner child.

And I had to find my own way with all of that.
