When novelists borrow from real horror… Red Széll joins us to trace the tangled line between actual crime and literary fiction. From 19th-century murder pamphlets to modern thrillers like Sadie and A Good Girl's Guide to Murder, does storytelling serve truth better when it breaks free from fact? We reflect on the allure, and the ethical dilemmas, of turning tragedy into story.

In this honest and heartfelt conversation, we unpack the concept of good girl armour — the protective layers we've built over time to stay liked, safe, and in control. We explore how this armour has served us, how it can silently limit our self-expression and power, and what it takes to begin putting it down. Expect stories, insights, and a few truth bombs as we name what we've often kept hidden.⚠️ Just a heads-up: the F word appears in this episode — because sometimes, no other word will do.
Why do we stay in the wrong relationships? Is it fear, habit, or the belief that love is supposed to be difficult? In this episode of A Really Good Cry, I sit down with relationship coach Jillian Turecki for an honest, insightful conversation about why we get stuck in unhealthy relationship patterns—and how to break free from them. We talk about recognizing red flags early, the psychology behind staying too long, and what it truly takes to create a relationship that’s built to last. Jillian also shares practical advice on healing after heartbreak, letting go with grace, and attracting the kind of love that feels aligned and sustainable. Whether you’re moving through a breakup, reflecting on past patterns, or simply trying to understand love more deeply, this episode offers clarity, compassion, and perspective.

How do we let go of perfectionism and people-pleasing and learn to put our own needs first? This week, Jill speaks with Dr Michelle McQuaid, an internationally recognised positive psychology expert, about how more women are breaking free from damaging people-pleasing patterns and living as their authentic selves. Michelle is the author of six best-selling books, and an honorary fellow at Melbourne University's Centre for Wellbeing Science. Her life and work explore the intersection of mental health, identity, and the societal norms that quietly erode our sense of self, with a particular focus on how women are conditioned from an early age to be the ‘good girl', and how we can shed these limiting beliefs. She also recently found the courage to end her 23-year marriage and gained freedom and fulfilment as she enters what she describes as her “Grey Queer” years, exploring her bisexuality and prioritising her relationship with herself. Michelle also shares her fascinating personal story of growing up with a family background of drug addiction and homelessness, which has given her a unique perspective in building identity and resilience. You can find out more about Michelle's work through her website, read about her Good Girl Game Changers project on her Substack, and check out her book, The Perfectly Imperfect Little Girl, here.

Bonus Episode Meg Holloway is back in the studio for the Dare Round — and she's not holding back. From perfectionism to parenthood, this one cuts straight to the heart of why so many women stay stuck. Expect mic drops, a few uncomfortable truths, and a very specific dare that left Michelle sweating a bit…Being a “good girl” won't get you the life you really want. It might get you approval, gold stars, and polite applause — but freedom? Fulfilment? Hell no. That starts when you stop toeing the line and start asking the real question: What do I actually want?
This week on Startup to Storefront, we're joined by Leah Marcus and Yasaman Bakhtiar, the Gen-Z founders behind Good Girl Snacks—the cult-favorite pickle brand that's taking over your feed and shaking up the CPG space. In just one year, they went from quitting their post-grad corporate jobs to building Erewhon's #1 pickle, selling over 10,000 jars, landing in 50+ retailers, and closing a pre-seed round led by Collab Fund (think Olipop, Sweetgreen, Beyond Meat). All of this—with $0 spent on paid ads. On this week's episode, you'll learn: How they turned a viral obsession into a real business The power of building in public and radical transparency What it's really like bootstrapping year one How they disrupted the grocery aisle through social and community What's next: new flavors, national expansion, and scaling post-fundraise It's startup hustle meets Gen-Z social savvy—don't miss it.
If you feel stuck, uninspired, or like your content isn't landing the way it should—it's not because you need a new strategy. It's because you're still filtering yourself.You're holding back.You're making yourself “likable” instead of magnetic.You're stuck in Good Girl Conditioning—and it's keeping you from scaling with ease.In this episode, I'm breaking down:
Research shows that by the time a girl reaches age 11, she has built the belief system that you earn love by pleasing others. But as we know, a life built around that sentiment, is destined for poor mental health when your internal reward system is - put others happiness before your own, to please and ‘be a good girl’ in the eyes of the community around us. Dr. Michelle McQuaid spent years of her adult life ticking the boxes of what we are told will provide us fulfilment and happiness - a great career, good financial income, getting married and having children and once those boxes were ticked, life will set and fulfilling. But what happens when you tick those boxes, yet you find yourself ignoring your inner voice in the sacrifice to achieve them and side-line your mental well-being to keep it on track? Dr. McQuaid found herself exhausted, burnt out and deeply unhappy and it came to a point after her midlife, where it was time to stop and look at how did she get here, and why was she so conditioned to ignore her sense of self to achieve the ideals of others. So we sit down with Dr. McQuaid, an Honorary Fellow of the Centre for Wellbeing Science at Melbourne University, blogs for Psychology Today, and has been featured in Forbes, the Harvard Business Review, the Wall Street Journal and more to unpack what she has learned through research around the grooming of good girls and it’s impact as the good girl grows into a women.

Let's talk about something that's holding you back from confidence, that you may not even realise is sabotaging you: the ‘good girl' conditioning.If you were raised as a girl, you were probably praised for being polite, quiet, helpful, well-behaved and - cue eye roll - ‘pretty'. Well, I hate to break it to you, but that conditioning is killing your confidence as an adult!In this episode, I'll share:What good girl conditioning is and how to spot itWhere this conditioning comes from3 ways that the good girl conditioning is sabotaging your progress towards confidenceHow to overcome the conditioning so that you can become confident AF✋
Episode Summary:Were you raised to be a “good girl”? To be polite, agreeable, and put others' needs ahead of your own? If so, you're not alone. In this episode, we're unpacking the deep-rooted Good Girl conditioning many of us inherited and how it affects our ability to set boundaries, express needs, and feel truly seen.We'll explore:✅ How we were trained to be good girls—and why that meant suppressing our true selves.✅ The hidden costs of this conditioning: emotional suppression, dysregulation, resentment, and burnout.✅ The attachment and relational impact—when love feels conditional, kids learn to abandon their own needs to stay connected.✅ How to break the cycle for our kids by teaching boundaries, emotional regulation, and healthy relationships.✅ The power of worthiness and modeling self-advocacy so our children don't inherit the Good Girl curse.If you've ever struggled with asking for what you need, feeling too much or not enough, or constantly putting others first, this episode is for you. And if you're a mom raising daughters (or big-feeling sons), this conversation will help you parent in a way that fosters self-worth, emotional intelligence, and healthy boundaries.Ready to go deeper?If this episode hit home, you don't have to keep carrying this alone. Join me inside Living CALM—my program designed to help moms release stress, regulate their nervous system, and set boundaries without guilt.
In today's episode, I'm joined by Rachel Martin - coach, mentor, and speaker from @beheard_beyou. Rachel specialises in supporting big-hearted women who are ready to stop playing it safe in their careers and lives.Together, we dive deep into how that 'inner good girl' and people-pleasing patterns directly impact your relationship with food, body image, and self-worth. This is about how societal conditioning has trained us to follow restrictive rules, seek constant approval, and tie our value to external validation, keeping us caught in rigid cycles with food, emotional eating patterns and body hate. Whether you identify as a people pleaser, a recovering good girl, or simply want a deeper understanding of what exactly influences your relationship with food & your body...this conversation offers transformative insights and permission to finally please your damn self

“I don't do naughty things, I'm a really good girl.” That is what Ruby Franke tells her husband Kevin in a recorded jail call. She's a really good girl - that almost killed 2 of their youngest children. She kept them locked away in her marriage counselor/“lovers” mansion basement - torturing them for months. Soon, all the evidence will come out - their abuse diaries, the alleged romantic relationship, and the grim detail that they were planning on buying a 500 acre property in the middle of nowhere to carry out more extreme abuse. But the question on many people's minds is - how was nobody else involved and how did nobody else know what was happening? Kevin Franke, Ruby's devoted husband, has become the center of conspiracy theories. With people wondering just how much he knew, just how much he's covering up now, and if he should be charged. Also, why did he try to sue his oldest daughter after his wife was arrested? What about the mysterious woman - Pam? Two Franke teenage girls were found deep cleaning her home the day of the arrests. How come she doesn't appear that shocked to find out what Ruby had been doing? Is it because she knew all along? And what will Ruby and Jodi do to each other in prison? Will they turn on each other to save themselves - or do they still believe everyone is working with the devil? Full show notes at rottenmangopodcast.com

Sherry McClurkin is an expert in emotional wellness and mental health, and masterful at guiding clients to healing. She's able to quickly dive deep into clients' Emotional Blocks and apply healing techniques. That comes from her own journey away from the "good girl" role of her childhood, her extensive advanced education, 1000s of hours with clients as a trauma-specialized Licensed Therapist for over 10 years (past), and now as a Coach, Speaker, and Writer. With that, she developed the healing steps of her R.E.N.E.W. method, which is also rooted in neuroscience.She lived in Maryland most of her life then moved to Tucson, AZ, a few years ago to avoid winter and enjoy more sunshine. Her life changed dramatically with that move. She knew no one there so was forced to find and build friends & community. This wasn't the first time. She's single after a divorce 11 years ago; that relationship lasted almost 30 years. It was the struggles in her marriage, the unresolved emotional challenges from her childhood, and Christ's call on her life that started her emotional healing journey. We all have an emotional journey. Sherry's gift to you is to come alongside you in your emotional journey and bring the healing steps you long for. My most favorite women to work with are those who grew up as the "Good Girl". That was me, too. As a child, I was the good student, mother's helper, and often put in charge of my younger siblings with no understanding of what to do with that responsibility.I was also high anxiety, fearful of doing things wrong, afraid of getting into trouble, wanting and fearing attention at the same time, quick to anger, and felt the burden of responsibility at a young age. I went to college right out of HS only because it seemed expected of me, and I didn't know what else to do. I didn't know what I wanted, liked, disliked, or much about me. I didn't like me. And I also failed out of college in my early 20s.⭐ I'm far, far from that person now. My "Good Girl" patterns are healed and Busted. ⭐ And my passion is to help you also get very far from that "Good Girl". | ✅ I developed --from 1000s of client hrs as a therapist (past) for 10+ yrs and my own journey-- a trauma- & neuroscience-based, proven 5-step R.E.N.E.W. process:R = Recognize & Respect your emotions & mindsetsE = Engage in Calm in mind, emotions, & bodyN = Nurture New MindsetsE = Embrace Emotional healingW = Walk in Wholeness with Christ✅ I offer 2 Coaching packages and free, virtual workshops.Follow me on FB & LinkedIn for engaging pasts and schedules:https://www.facebook.com/sherry.mcclurkinhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/sherry-mcclurkin-brain-tamer/ Sherry McClurkin, MSc | SherryMcClurkin.com | Sherry@CoachSherry.com | 2403472581 Sign up for one of our negotiation courses at ShikinaNegotiationAcademy.comThanks for listening to Negotiation with Alice!

Dr. Michelle McQuaid joins me in this episode to dive deep into the concept of "good girl conditioning" and how it impacts women's mental health and well-being. We explore the societal expectations that shape our beliefs from a young age, often leading to exhaustion and a sense of emptiness, despite achieving external markers of success. Dr. McQuaid shares her personal journey of discovering these patterns and the research that highlights how they manifest in our lives, particularly for women. Together, we discuss practical strategies for breaking free from these constraints. This conversation is not just enlightening; it's a call to action for all of us to step into our authentic selves and support each other in that journey.Connect with Chelle:www.goodgirlgamechangers.comwww.michellemcquaid.comConnect with Cass:Email: hello@crappytohappypod.comwww.crappytohappypod.comwww.cassdunn.comJoin our community and subscribe to Beyond Happy:https://cassdunn.substack.com2025 Cassandra Dunn

In this episode, I sit down with my first-ever life coach, Maggie Reyes, a feminist marriage coach and the author of The Questions for Couples Journal. We dive deep into the social conditioning that shapes women's lives—how we are raised to be “good” by constantly serving others, often at the expense of our own desires and well-being.Maggie shares her insights on navigating the discomfort of wanting more for yourself, creating safety in self-discovery, and finding balance in relationships without losing yourself. We also explore how small shifts in perspective can lead to big changes in how you experience your life.If you've ever felt stuck in over-functioning, struggling to put yourself on your own priority list, this conversation is for you.Connect with Maggie:
Title: No Such Thing As Good or Bad Kids: Dr. Shefali on Conscious Parenting Description: Today, we're taking a trip into the archives to revisit a 2023 episode with renowned clinical psychologist and listener favorite, Dr. Shefali Tsabary, where we dove into the deeply-layered topic of conscious parenting. Those of us in the middle of life, still parenting kids at home, adjusting to parenting adult children who just launched out into the world. or in any season of the parenting journey, really, will find much to learn as we look back (and forward) at our parenting patterns. Highlights from this convo include: Defining conscious parenting and the three stages of the parenting map Debunking the notion that as parents we are supposed to create happy, perfect superhumans by following traditional parenting rules Dismissing the notion that there are good kids and bad kids—and how to avoid using these labels Revealing the five ego patterns that parents might not even realize inform their quest to raise amazing children The three reasons why children act out or misbehave and how you can learn not to shame them for it The results of over-parenting and how it shows up in your adult children How it's never too late to become a mindful parent Segments: Bless and Release: Avoiding difficult conversations Thought-provoking Quotes: The evolution of the planet depends on the evolution of the parent. – Dr. Shefali Everyone wants a new tomorrow. But what we don't realize is that a new future comes with an absolute willingness to disrupt the past. – Dr. Shefali There is no such thing as a good kid or a bad kid. So, what kind of kids are there? Just kids – just humans who are terribly flawed like we are, and terribly, but amazingly blissful like we are. They're just this unique combo and they defy labels. – Dr. Shefali Punishment, shaming, blaming is never sustainable. I cannot tell you how many times a day I tell parents, ‘Listen, you appear to get control in the moment, but long term, it's going to be unforgiving.' – Dr. Shefali How do we constantly show our presence [to our adult children]? Unequivocal cheerleading. ‘I'm thinking of you. I miss you. I'm remembering you. I adore you.' Let them know they are on your mind but not involved in their day-to-day. – Dr. Shefali When the ego crumbles, proportionately the heart expands, and you then are just this heart-centered being able to connect to the other people in a very attuned, compassionate, genuine way. And your children will feel it. – Dr. Shefali Resources Mentioned in This Episode: The Conscious Parent by Dr. Shefali Tsabary - https://amzn.to/4aNAPd8 The Parenting Map by Dr. Shefali Tsabary - https://amzn.to/3EER148 Dr. Shefali's previous interview on For the Love:Releasing The Fantasy of “The Good Girl” with Dr. Shefali Tsabary - https://jenhatmaker.com/podcasts/series-35/releasing-the-fantasy-of-the-good-girl-with-dr-shefali-tsabary/ Guest's Links: Dr. Shefali's website - https://www.drshefali.com/ Dr. Shefali's Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/doctorshefali Dr. Shefali's Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/doctorshefali Dr. Shefali's YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/DrShefali Dr. Shefali's TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@doctorshefali Dr. Shefali's Podcast - https://www.drshefali.com/podcast/ Connect with Jen!
