Summary

There is something called the nice girl syndrome which is an idea and expectation that you have to be nice to be loved and accepted. It leaves the mark of not feeling good enough. Being pleasant, agreeable, and accommodating doesn’t mean that you have to make yourself less than someone else. “Becoming and remaining a nice girl, is a kind of malnutrition to the soul of a woman.” -Asia Suler What happens to you when you’re always put last on your own list or lucky if you even make your own list? In this episode Lisa is channeling all of her badass energy into exposing how you can be nice and prioritize yourself and communicate your needs. You don’t have to be afraid of speaking up and worried about being rejected or thought less than by the right people in your life. Do a gut check with yourself on which one of these myths hit the hardest and come up with a plan to restore your power and balance where there is none.
