Hi, I'm Zoe Blaski. Welcome back to Motherkind. We are sponsored by Stoker. This is the show that's

going to help you thrive in motherhood, even in our world of crazy pressure and endless expectations. I am so excited to be recording this episode

today because it's about something that has completely changed my experience of motherhood

and life actually. If you're feeling exhausted, overwhelmed and you're frustrated,

but you don't quite know why this episode is for you.

Because today we're talking about something that has shaped so many of us and impacts our

experience of life and motherhood daily, often without us even realizing it.

And that is the good girl conditioning. And I'm so excited today to chat about

what it is, how it impacted me and how it might be impacting you, how to break free from it so you can

feel happier, more authentic, more confident and start to get your needs met too because here's the truth if you've been told

your whole life to be nice to smile to be a good girl and to put others first which many of us have

then you're probably feeling resentful exhausted and maybe even on that path to burnout. Why? Because you're running a

program that you didn't sign up for. And today, we are going to uninstall that program.
