Description

In this powerful episode, I explore the deep connection between people-pleasing, the "good girl" mindset, and eating disorder recovery. If you’ve ever felt like your worth is tied to how much you give, how little you need, or how small you can make yourself, this episode is for you. Topics I cover include: How people-pleasing develops – Discover how childhood experiences like parentification and societal expectations create the good girl mindset. The role of guilt in eating disorders – Understand how guilt can fuel restrictive behaviours and prevent you from meeting your own needs. The link to anorexia recovery – Learn how patterns of self-sacrifice and guilt manifest in disordered eating and keep you stuck in cycles of restriction. Steps to break free – Practical tips to set boundaries, say no, and begin prioritising your own needs without guilt. This episode is a compassionate guide to unravelling the good girl mindset and reconnecting with your authentic self. You’ll gain insights into how these behaviours impact your body, mind, and relationships and find encouragement to take those first steps toward healing and self-acceptance. Key Takeaways The connection between guilt and restrictive eating – How trying to stay "good" perpetuates disordered behaviours. Small steps to reclaim your needs – Simple strategies to practise saying no and honour your body’s signals. Freedom from people-pleasing in anorexia recovery – Why self-worth isn’t tied to sacrifice and how to embrace a new, joyful way of living. At the end of the episode, I share a special visualisation exercise to help you imagine your life free from guilt, people-pleasing, and the good girl mindset. ✨ You don’t have to sacrifice yourself to be worthy. Freedom from guilt, restriction, and self-sacrifice is possible, and it starts with choosing yourself. 🎧 Listen now to take the next step in your eating disorder recovery journey.
