Episode 31 - How Good Girl Programming Masks ADHD
I am so grateful to have a secure relationship with my husband, but it wasn’t always that way. Earlier in our relationship, I was terrified of being left by him, and I built myself an armor of hyper independence and dishonesty. I pretended to be ways I wasn’t to stay safe and “belong” with him.
This episode is an intro to the gender diagnosis gap with ADHD and our ingrained masking behaviors from social pressures to be a "Good Girl". Masking behaviors are the ways in which we perform, pretend, and suppress our emotions to be accepted. “Be polite, be nice, be on time”...all of this keeps us from attending to our real ADHD symptoms. You can be free of the shame, anxiety, and masking, it just takes time and finding the right resources. There are significantly fewer women properly diagnosed because we are performing and just trying to keep it together rather than getting the help we need. There’s nothing wrong with us. We have symptoms that affect how our brain works, and it has nothing to do with our character. If you've been curious about how you've been feeling, this is a great resource of information. There are tools to make life easier overall. Next week I have Kristen Carder joining me to delve deeper into this topic, you can check out her podcast ‘I Have ADHD’, and look into her group coaching program called FOCUSED.

Episode 30 - You're Not Selfish
I am so grateful to have a secure relationship with my husband, but it wasn’t always that way. Earlier in our relationship, I was terrified of being left by him, and I built myself an armor of hyper independence and dishonesty. I pretended to be ways I wasn’t to stay safe and “belong” with him.
How many times a day do you find yourself thinking, 'I’m selfish for doing this for me instead of doing something for someone else.' You're not alone. Rather than prioritizing our own well-being, women often give themselves only scraps of our day for self-care. Cultural expectations put women into roles that often call for them to be selfless, aka the caregiver or the nurturer. Humans who have been socialized as females tend to feel held to the “rules” of gender roles from the past. These ingrained expectations are further perpetuated by media and pop culture, reinforcing traditional gender stereotypes. Breaking free from the programming takes time and focus, but that's what I’m here for. Let's get to the root of the issue and change the way we think in order to heal this discomfort. You can do what you want without taking from others. It’s about balance but also about embracing you and all you’re capable of.

Episode 28 - People Pleasing as a Trauma Response with Sara Hughes-Zabawa
I am so grateful to have a secure relationship with my husband, but it wasn’t always that way. Earlier in our relationship, I was terrified of being left by him, and I built myself an armor of hyper independence and dishonesty. I pretended to be ways I wasn’t to stay safe and “belong” with him.
In this week's episode, I'm joined by a special guest, Sara Hughes-Zabawa, as we explore the topic of people-pleasing as a response to trauma. Sara's passion lies in guiding clients toward thriving and enhancing their quality of life. She achieves this by cultivating heightened awareness, providing insights, building crucial skills, and offering top-notch education and resources.
People-pleasing often emerges as a deeply ingrained trauma response. Stemming from a desire to evade conflict or seek validation, this coping mechanism involves prioritizing others' needs and expectations over one's own well-being. Individuals who engage in people-pleasing may have encountered situations where their emotional safety was compromised. This led them to adapt by stretching themselves thin to maintain a semblance of control or connection. During our conversation, Sara and I discuss the importance of taking a pause when faced with stressful stimuli, as well as valuable tools to guide you through these situations. Recognizing people-pleasing as a trauma response is a crucial step toward healing. It enables us to address underlying wounds and gradually transition towards self-empowerment and authentic self-expression. Can't wait for you to listen and uncover the insights this episode holds.

Episode 27 - Inside the Stop People Pleasing Group Program
I am so grateful to have a secure relationship with my husband, but it wasn’t always that way. Earlier in our relationship, I was terrified of being left by him, and I built myself an armor of hyper independence and dishonesty. I pretended to be ways I wasn’t to stay safe and “belong” with him.
This week, three of my friends and clients, who are also coaches, have come together to discuss my Stop People Pleasing Group Program. This podcast episode provides deep insights into my program and its potential to enrich our daily lives.
Joining me are Kami Kirby, a parenting coach; Chelsea Paxton, who specializes in guiding women recovering from high-demand religions; and Laura Bond Williams, a coach and Pilates instructor. They embrace diverse roles as mothers, partners, wives, daughters, business owners, and employees, weaving a rich tapestry of human interactions and relationship experiences.
While some initially joined due to their coaching responsibilities and a desire to gain a better understanding of how people-pleasing manifests among their clients – whether they are women, children, or parents – what truly captivated me was how each of them derived something immensely valuable from the experience. It has transformed their individual lives, empowering them to confidently advocate for their needs and desires, regardless of their roles.
A heartfelt thank you to Kami, Chelsea, Laura, and to all of you who have taken this journey. I am eagerly looking forward to you tuning in and listening to this enriching discussion.

It’s my 50th birthday this week and I never truly believed my life could be this good! My life is fulfilling, rich, and brimming with joy, opportunities, and meaningful friendships. It's both nourishing and beautiful, yet also challenging. I couldn't have imagined being where I am now, but here I am. I know many of us are walking together on this path. That's how I see us – co-travelers, supporting each other as we navigate the journey of creating a fulfilling life based on our wanting. So, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on how I got here and share it with you as my birthday gift to YOU! Can’t wait to celebrate together!

In this episode, Danielle Savory and I dive into the importance of giving ourselves permission to experience pleasure. Danielle is a master-certified coach, podcast host, and expert in neuropsychology, mindfulness, sexual pleasure, and intimacy. While sex and intimacy are essential aspects, it's also about fostering a deeper connection with our bodies. The burden of internal abuse can have both mental and physical consequences. By reconnecting with our bodies, we open up the potential for healing and the ability to experience emotions precisely as we desire. We experience separation from our bodies in many different ways: religion, diet culture, chronic pain, etc. When we acknowledge our discomfort and give ourselves what we need, magic happens. Connecting to your body can open up the possibility of healing and allow you to feel exactly how you would like to. I can’t wait for you to listen!

Episode 24 - The Powerful Combination of Choice and Voice
I am so grateful to have a secure relationship with my husband, but it wasn’t always that way. Earlier in our relationship, I was terrified of being left by him, and I built myself an armor of hyper independence and dishonesty. I pretended to be ways I wasn’t to stay safe and “belong” with him.
A revolution happens when women say what they want, especially when their words align with their real feelings. When you can express how you really feel, it makes you feel more comfortable standing up for yourself and setting expectations. One of the key aspects I teach my clients is how to articulate themselves effectively during difficult conversations. We are capable of updating the relationships in our life to match our wants and needs. Connecting to our own wants and needs is a process but it can be an incredible journey. One of the greatest advantages of remaining authentic, no matter the situation, is that there's no need to put on a performance to feel accepted. Having confidence and knowing that we can handle the stress that comes with advocating for ourselves is so important. The ultimate goal is to achieve overall integrity and lasting comfort.

In this episode, I'll be sharing my personal experience with speaking up for myself. It's not easy, but it's incredibly rewarding. I hope this episode can help you understand the unease that comes with expressing your true thoughts. The anxiety that arises from speaking up can be overwhelmingly strong, but it's crucial to embrace this new discomfort as it ultimately benefits you. I am not here to dictate what you should say; instead, I want to help you develop an awareness of why you struggle to voice your desires. By recognizing the influences that have shaped you, you can genuinely exercise your ability to choose. The ultimate objective is to find a way to honor ourselves while also respecting others. I am so excited for you to tune in.

Episode 22 - From Conversion Therapy to LGBTQ Advocacy with Elena Joy Thurston
I am so grateful to have a secure relationship with my husband, but it wasn’t always that way. Earlier in our relationship, I was terrified of being left by him, and I built myself an armor of hyper independence and dishonesty. I pretended to be ways I wasn’t to stay safe and “belong” with him.
This week, I am joined by Elena Joy Thurston. Elena Joy is an inspiring LGBTQ speaker, trainer, and founder of the nonprofit Pride and Joy Foundation. This foundation is dedicated to reducing the rates of suicide and homelessness within the LGBTQ community. Elena Joy is also featured in the award-winning documentary, Conversion, and has delivered a viral TEDx talk on surviving conversion therapy.
Back in 2017, Elena Joy was a stay-at-home mom of four, deeply entrenched in her Mormon community. However, she began to question her happiness and realized that she was not attracted to men and is a lesbian. This realization led her to believe that she needed to be "fixed," prompting her to seek help from someone who claimed to have the solution. In this episode, Elena Joy delves into the dynamics of conversion camps worldwide, where the promise of an eternal reward of being united with their families in heaven is used as a manipulative tool to change and "fix" queer individuals. Ultimately, she discovered that the support she truly needed did not come from the church, which compelled her to choose life and embark on a journey of healing. In the process, she found a way to assist LGBTQ youth and individuals facing similar challenges. Elena Joy dedicates herself to daily healing work that positively impacts the world, and I am thrilled for you to listen to her story.

Episode 21 - Loving Our LBGTQIA+ Kids with Andrea Parks and Wendy Montgomery

This week, I'm thrilled to have Andrea Parks and Wendy Montgomery joining me as we delve into how our upbringings shape us as parents and the transformative power of remaining loving and open. Andrea is a Clinical Therapist, Coach, and Reiki Master, while Wendy is an Empowerment, Life, and Enneagram Coach. Both of them proudly embrace their roles as moms to queer and transgender children. Together, they share their stories of their children coming out, encompassing both the beauty and the pain experienced on this journey. These families exude deep love for their kids and foster an environment of love and understanding. In supporting your queer and trans loved ones, it's important to let them guide you in understanding their needs. While our society may lack a comprehensive support system, there is support available if you're unable to find it at home. I can't wait for you to tune in and listen.

Episode 20 - "I Will Not Lose Myself" with Hannah Carlisle and Michelle Call

This heartfelt conversation sheds light on the possibility of discovering your true self and living authentically. Hannah Carlise and Michelle Call, therapist/life coach, join me in discussing coming out later in life and navigating conservative religious upbringings. Choosing ourselves may be challenging, and dismantling the barriers of societal conditioning takes time. If you find yourself constantly neglecting your own needs, it's time to break that pattern. Hannah and Michelle's stories serve as proof that you can liberate yourself from guilt and shame and live from your heart. Whenever you feel doubt, remember there are others out there going through something similar.

Episode 19 - Pleasure is a Human Right with Dr. Sonia Wright, MD

This is an exciting episode! Dr. Sonia Wright and I discuss pleasure and sex. She has opened my mind in so many ways and I hold her very close to my heart - We were in the same Master Certification class. Dr. Wright is not only a medical doctor and pediatric radiologist by training, but also a trained sexual counselor, master-certified life coach, and a passionate advocate of sexual empowerment. She's also a toys enthusiast and a midlife sex coach for women. Together, we delve into sexual intimacy, sexual orientation, gender, and women's health. Giving yourself permission to explore and discover who you really are is possible. Life is about enjoying it, we don’t have to fit into the good-girl mould and check off all of society's boxes. Everyone deserves to experience pleasure, and it's essential to make it a natural part of our conversations.

Episode 18 - What Needs To Be Said with Alex Reegan
I am so grateful to have a secure relationship with my husband, but it wasn’t always that way. Earlier in our relationship, I was terrified of being left by him, and I built myself an armor of hyper independence and dishonesty. I pretended to be ways I wasn’t to stay safe and “belong” with him.
I am thrilled for you to tune in to this important episode of the Ex-Good Girl Podcast! In this episode, my dear friend Alex Reegan and I delve into the significance of feeling acknowledged and seen. Alex is a remarkable individual—a trans man, interfaith minister, author, speaker, and transformative spiritual coach. Growing up in an evangelical Christian family, he faced tremendous barriers in expressing his true identity. This led to years of battling depression, anxiety, and addiction as he sought to break free from the oppressive beliefs that constrained him.
Through his inspiring journey, Alex finally found solace in sobriety, shamanism, and seminary education, which enabled him to reclaim his faith and trust in the Divine. With unwavering dedication, Alex empowers others through speaking engagements, workshops, and personalized sessions, helping them unearth their truth, shed shame, and foster unity. Additionally, he wrote an incredible book titled 'What Needs to be Said.'
This episode centers around the transformative process of self-discovery and the path that leads us there. Alex is a true force of nature, wholeheartedly committed to choosing love and guiding others along their own journeys. I had the pleasure of meeting him in 2018, and he has profoundly impacted my life in countless ways.
I strongly believe that we all have much to gain from listening and learning. I am immensely grateful for this extraordinary episode and, most of all, for Alex's presence in our lives.

Episode 17 - Good Girls and Body Image with Corinne Crabtree

This week on The Ex Good Girl Podcast, I had a very special guest on this episode: Corinne Crabtree. She is an expert in helping women lose weight and feel as amazing as they truly deserve. Over a million women have taken her free weight loss course, and now she serves more than 14,000 paid members in the no BS weight loss program.
The diet industry has perpetuated a damaging mentality about what we should and shouldn't eat and how we should live. It takes time and support to break down the boundaries created by society and its fake rules. When we devalue ourselves, society ultimately wins. Instead, we should establish our own rules based on love. Corinne's work emphasizes shedding the mental weight we carry around. We transformed our internal conversations and now share our knowledge with the world.
It's all about making the conscious decision in every moment to prioritize yourself and your well-being. Let's celebrate ourselves daily!

In this week's episode, we f*ck around and find out! Our special guest is Melanie Childers, one of my closest friends in the business world. If you haven't found a business bestie yet, I strongly recommend you do, because Melanie plays a crucial role in reminding me of my true self and my immense capabilities.

During our conversation, we deal with processing emotions and how our past experiences have shaped us into who we are today. Now is the time to toss out the rule book and define what truly works for you. Embrace your individuality and make choices that align with your unique path.

My former coach, Krista St-Germain, interviewed me for her podcast The Widowed Mom a while ago, and I'm excited to share it on The Ex-Good Girl. During the interview, we discuss people-pleasing: defining it and ways to overcome it. We also explore how our connection with ourselves can vary from person to person. This episode is particularly special to me as Krista has been incredibly helpful in my life. It serves as a reminder of the profound impact a good coach can have. People-pleasing can come at a significant cost: the amount of time and energy we spend on constantly cycling through thoughts about others and what they think of us. Some women can spend up to 3 to 5 hours a day in this cycle. It's about reclaiming our time, brain space, energy, and peace. With the help of the right coach, we can break free from this rumination wheel and take control of our lives.

Episode 14 - Mother-Daughter Relationships with Karen C.L. Anderson
I am so grateful to have a secure relationship with my husband, but it wasn’t always that way. Earlier in our relationship, I was terrified of being left by him, and I built myself an armor of hyper independence and dishonesty. I pretended to be ways I wasn’t to stay safe and “belong” with him.
In this week's episode, Sara interviews Karen C.L. Anderson, a Master certified life coach and author who specializes in coaching about the mother/adult daughter relationship. They discuss the challenges that often arise in this particular relationship, exploring the generational aspects and the societal shift towards acknowledging trauma and the importance of emotional expression. Karen shares insights from her own journey of estrangement from her mother and the subsequent healing process, emphasizing the need to separate one's identity from the expectations imposed by the mother-daughter dynamic. They delve into topics such as people-pleasing, guilt, regret, and the significance of setting boundaries in a relationship. Karen's approach highlights the importance of self-love and acceptance, challenging the belief that unconditional love is contingent on meeting certain conditions. Sara and Karen conclude by discussing the power of questioning and redefining the roles and stories that have been passed down through generations, offering a fresh perspective on nurturing healthier mother-daughter connections.

Episode 13 - Healing in a Community of Women
I am so grateful to have a secure relationship with my husband, but it wasn’t always that way. Earlier in our relationship, I was terrified of being left by him, and I built myself an armor of hyper independence and dishonesty. I pretended to be ways I wasn’t to stay safe and “belong” with him.
Community is an essential aspect of life, and when women come together and share their stories, it can be one of the most powerful forms of learning.
When women unite, we can achieve great things and make a positive impact on ourselves and the world. Starting a new journey may seem daunting, but it can be made easier by breaking it down into manageable steps. I'll begin by asking you, "Why?" Why do you do the things you do? Why do you feel comfortable doing this? Why don't you enjoy doing that? We've been unconsciously programmed by the patriarchy, and I'm here to help you break down those barriers.
Working towards a collective goal enhances our learning and understanding. Witnessing others achieve their goals can also help us apply their teachings to our own lives. You are powerful, and a comfortable life is within your reach.

Episode 12 - Our Story, Part 2
I am so grateful to have a secure relationship with my husband, but it wasn’t always that way. Earlier in our relationship, I was terrified of being left by him, and I built myself an armor of hyper independence and dishonesty. I pretended to be ways I wasn’t to stay safe and “belong” with him.
In this episode, My husband and I share many life experiences that have helped shape us into happier, healthier individuals. We prioritize authenticity with ourselves and each other, even though navigating life and relationships can be complex. We've come to realize how much we're influenced by outside forces, and we've learned to condition ourselves to be loving and respectful to all, including ourselves. We show up to honor each other's experiences and choose each other consciously every day. Unearthing self-love requires de-conditioning from things that were forced upon us. Remember, you own your life. We're here to share our story and remind you of your own power.
