Episode 91 - Good Girls, Glinda and Upholding the Patriarchy

Send us a text

When we cause harm to someone else, the good girl tendency is to feel shame and defensiveness. Instead, if we get to a place where we are generous and can grieve our mistakes, we can move on to be better versions of ourselves. In this episode, I talk about how the themes of Wicked relate to my journey of becoming an ex-good girl and the importance of self-compassion when you have to question your beliefs. Here’s what I cover:

  • How the representation of power structures fueled by patriarchy in the Wicked movie relate to our society
  • Why you can't grow into better versions of yourself without acknowledging that past versions made mistakes
  • How my experience as a member of the Mormon church has similarities to Glinda’s character arc in Wicked
  • Two good-girl beliefs that are roadblocks to learning from our mistakes and becoming better friends and allies
  • How we have been conditioned to react to shame and think negatively about changing our mind
  • Why we often jump to defend our beliefs instead of being open to the idea of exploring new ones

I can't wait for you to listen!
