Her book Root & Ritual which I highly recommend offers practical wisdom, processes, and recipes for reconnecting with land, lineage, and community.

She feared that her parents would feel like leaving their country was a waste. So, she worked hard at school to make them proud and happy. When she graduated, she had an existential spiritual crisis and felt lost after not having any more rules to follow. Big Catalyst Moment Majo scored a 9 to 5 research job in Washington, D.C., which her father was happy about. Upon seeing herself in the mirror wearing a black blazer and pants, she felt like she was wearing a costume. That moment of disidentification became a big “aha” for Majo. It was when her consciousness started to shift. Many epiphanies happened and stacked up in her twenties that allowed her to find her own path. Yoga and meditation played significant roles in her awakening. Working on Sustainable Change She spent a decade trying to deprogram the good girl archetype that she built up until she was 20 years old. The tools that helped her were breathwork, meditation, mindfulness, psychedelics, and design thinking. Psychedelics enormously helped her see that she was caged in a hypermasculine capitalistic orientation. She learned about the process of tinkering and prototyping while finishing her Master's in Learning, Design, and Technology. Majo brings together all these tools in her unique method of coaching. On Psychedelics At first, Majo thought that psychedelics equate to drugs and bad stuff. After quitting her second job, she decided to go to Burning Man, a social experiment event in the desert. Burning Man's counterculture environment helped her as someone who was always in a system. It revolved around radical self-expression, gift economy, and spirituality. There, a man in his 50s offered her “medicine and sacrament.” Being in a safe and sacred context, she trusted her intuition and took it. This experience made her realize how much suppressed creativity she had. It became one of her biggest epiphanies. Dismantling the Good Girl Archetype For Majo, the process happened in many instances. However, what accelerated the journey for her was understanding the five good girl myths. Seeing these patterns in herself, her clients, listeners, friends, and family inspired her to write the book. Majo believes that we are born into a patriarchal society with a very defined idea of what a girl and woman should be. Good Girl Myths We each all have our own dominant good girl myth. For Majo, it's the myth of perfection: having impossibly high standards for herself and other people. Tune in to the full episode to learn more about the other good girl myths! Journaling has helped Majo a great deal. Specifically, she tracks her menstrual cycle to see patterns. She's a huge proponent of taking action. It helps her see her other blind spots and continue to lean into her edges. Writing the Book A well-thought-out proposal and structure will help you keep the flow when working on manuscripts. It was challenging for her to get her core argument down and reach conceptual clarity. The highlight for her was the research part, going down from one rabbit hole to another. She worked on writing only around three to four hours a day because of the required attentional focus. Tune in to the full episode to learn about Majo's writing schedule! Advice on Creative Work and Going Through a Hard Time Eliminate making as many choices as possible to prevent decision fatigue. Creatives have the most boring routine. They adhere to this to focus on deep creative work. It's a good thing to be at a low point. It's a sign that you're undergoing a powerful transformation. Be patient with yourself and have a lot of self-compassion. 5 Powerful Quotes from This Episode [3:17] “Our engrainment was to follow the rules, keep your nose, you know, keep your nose to the grindstone, like, just don't ask questions, just do what you need to do.” [8:02] “One of the things that I learned that blew my head off was the process of tinkering, and prototyping and that really helped me build a lot of creative confidence, and helped me undo a lot of perfectionism that I had somehow picked up.” [18:10] “We're born into a patriarchal society that has a very defined idea of how a girl and a woman should be…but it's up to us to choose if that actually feels integrated, or actually feels right for us.” [19:13] “My dominant good girl myth is the myth of perfection. So for me, it's having impossibly high standards for myself and other people, and not being able to sort of accept the messiness of life and the way things are.” [30:49] “If you are going through a hard time right now... it's a good thing to be there and that you are most likely undergoing a powerful transformation. And there is light at the end of this tunnel.” About Majo Majo Molfino is a Woman's Leadership Coach who guides multi-passionate professional women to design their creative purpose.

Majo Molfino is the daughter of immigrants who grew up as a “good girl,” getting good grades and following the rules. After graduating from college, she got a grown-up cubicle job as one is expected to do, but something immediately felt off. She looked at herself in the mirror and felt like she was wearing a costume. For the first time Majo questioned what she was put on this planet to do. And the only answer she had at the time was: not this. A year into her job she finally quit, moved to California… and took a very similar job (growth isn't a linear process!). But after quitting the second time, and having an awakening at the Burning Man festival, she realized her purpose was to guide and support women in their creative expression. “We've been socialized to be good, as women, instead of powerful.” –Majo Molfino This insight led Majo to Stanford where she got a Master's in learning, design and technology. The design thinking she learned, coupled with her “good girl” upbringing, provided the framework for her coaching, podcast, book and IGNITE leadership program. Join me as Majo talks about transformation and change, which she believes is a combination of insights and action. Today she guides women toward more power and meaning through her blend of storytelling, design, psychology and mindfulness.

Writing a debut novel that becomes a New York Times bestseller is an impressive feat. Doing it over 10 years while raising children and working a full-time job is simply awe-inspiring.

And when does nostalgia go from being something beautiful to an illness that keeps you from living in the present moment? Our guest today, Safia Elhillo is a Sudanese American poet whose strikingly beautiful debut novel Home Is Not a Country is deeply informed by these questions of belonging, nostalgia, and identity.

Now, Majo is the host of the HEROINE podcast, author of “Break the Good Girl Myth,” and is a role model and a leader in designing a life and career that is a perfect fit.

Continuing with our series on women in the literary arts, today's guest is Mary H.K. Choi, a Korean-American New York Times best-selling author. Mary has written three young adult novels and has been published in The Atlantic, New York Times, and GQ. Her latest book, Yolk, is the story of two estranged sisters who slowly heal their relationship after one of them is diagnosed with cancer. In our wide-ranging conversation today, we talk about Mary's journey to becoming a writer and some of the beliefs she had to let go of to get to where she is. We then dive into Yolk, where Mary talks about the similarities between her and one of the main characters, Jane. Mary unpacks why it was important for her to write about an eating disorder and having a fraught relationship with your body. Not only does this reflect Mary's personal experience, but it also comments on the broader pressures within east Asian communities regarding physical appearance. We also touch on intergenerational trauma and why Mary thinks it's an inevitable outcome of the immigrant experience, race, and the power of sibling hood as an immigrant. To hear all this and more, tune in today!• Hear what Mary was like as a little girl and her naturally inquisitive, scrappy nature. • When Mary realized that she wanted to be a writer and the pain that came with this realization. • The difficulty Mary faced trying to break into mainstream media. • For many years, Mary waited for permission, or for a break based on her merit. • A synopsis of Mary's latest book, Yolk, and the similarities between her and the main character, Jane. • The struggles Mary has had with eating disorders throughout her life. • Why it was so important for Mary to talk about bulimia in her book. • How Jane's low self-worth and insecurity reflect what happens to many women of color. • The different yolk signifiers and why Mary chose this as the name of the book. • Why Mary chose to explore sisterhood in Yolk, despite not having sisters herself. • Mary's fraught relationship with America and how she thinks about her identity. • Having a brother gave Mary someone to talk to about their unique immigrant experience. • Representations of East Asian men in the media and how this differs from representations of East Asian women. • How Mary chose to bring up the issue of race in a non-prescriptive way. • What Mary has learned from her characters about what it means to break free.ReferencesMary H.K.

The conversation around identity has evolved greatly in recent years, and this progress has been so important for many people. However there is still a long way to go to a more inclusive and accepting world, and we are joined today by someone who is adding a beautiful and complex voice to the discussion! Meredith Talusan is a transgendered woman, born with albinism in the Philippines, and who later immigrated to the US. Her relationship to acceptance and belonging has always been a complex one, a relationship she explores in her book, Fairest, and in today's episode! We get to dive deep into her journey, talking about external perceptions and inner realities, her writing for many prominent publications, and her current role as contributing editor at Them, Conde Nast's LGBTQ online platform. We look closely at her move to the US and time at Harvard, and how this influenced her life's trajectory and her professional and personal decisions. Meredith also talks about the art and literature that played a huge role for her, and how she tries to avoid too many comparisons and stark binaries. This is a beautiful and nuanced conversation from someone with an amazing story and the ability to unpack it honestly and insightfully, so make sure to join us!• Meredith's curious early years, growing up in the cultural melting pot of the Philippines. • How being born with albinism impacted Meredith's feeling of never fully belonging.• Meredith's work on a sitcom and soap opera, and the dynamic this created with her mother. • Feelings around being treated a certain way due to appearance; Meredith's mixed emotions.• Meredith's experiences and reflections on leaving the Philippines as a teenager. • The constant process of learning and growing; navigating life with fewer examples to follow. • Literature and stories that impacted Meredith and how these aided her on her journey.• The evolution of the academic approach to 'minority literature' over the last few decades.• How Meredith came to terms with and appreciated her particular experiences. • The influence that Meredith's life story had on her success and publication as a writer.• Uncertainty and complexity within the transgender experience; adding nuance to the discourse. • Meredith's gender identity and her hope for a different world. • Considering the possibility of a space beyond identity and Meredith's perspectives on spirituality.ReferencesIgnite Leadership Program - https://majo-molfino.mykajabi.com/igniteMeredith Talusan - http://mtalusan.com/Fairest - https://www.amazon.com/Fairest-Memoir-Meredith-Talusan/dp/0525561307Meredith Talusan on Twitter - https://twitter.com/1demerithThem - https://www.them.us/Jane Austen - https://www.britannica.com/biography/Jane-AustenGeorge Eliot - https://www.britannica.com/biography/George-EliotVirginia Woolf - https://www.britannica.com/biography/Virginia-WoolfJames Baldwin - https://www.britannica.com/biography/James-BaldwinLangston Hughes - https://poets.org/poet/langston-hughesJennifer Finney Boylan - https://www.nytimes.com/column/jennifer-finney-boylanSophia Amoruso - https://www.girlboss.com/Break the Good Girl Myth - https://majomolfino.com/book

The heroine's journey has historically been ignored, cast aside, and devalued, which has lead most of us to idolize and play out the hero's journey in our own lives. On today's episode, Gail Carriger, author of The Heroine's Journey: For Writers, Readers, and Fans of Pop Fiction, breaks down why and how we can begin to reclaim the heroine's journey for ourselves. You'll hear about the biggest differences in motivation between the hero's journey and heroine's journey, as well as the best and worst parts of being a writer and how her writing genre facilitates a greater feeling of connection with readers. We explore the impact of culture on storytelling and narrative, how the hero narrative can feed into the development of toxic masculinity, and the history of how romance writing is critiqued and defined. If you're a heroine on the journey who wants to have more self-trust and confidence, this episode is for you.• What Gail was like as a child: a bossy, self-motivated old soul who knew her own mind. • How Gail realized she was a storyteller; rewriting the end of stories her mom read to her.• The kind of stories Gail tells about heroine's stories, connection, and happy endings.• Her primary motivation as a writer: found family and how that has played out in her life.• What she considers the best part of being a writer: providing comfort and connection.• Why the hardest part of being a writer is the illusion of extreme intimacy and being known. • How the genre of fiction Gail writes leads the audience to feel connected to her.• Why it is important for young people to have adult perspectives outside of their parents.• The distinction between the motivations of the hero's journey and heroine's journey. • The Wonder Woman journey as an example of the hero's journey.• The heroine's motivation to reconnect and her position of strength in asking for help.• Why a hero operates in isolation, but a heroine is most powerful in community.• The impact of culture on storytelling and narrative and their core mythos.• How the hero narrative can feed into the development of toxic masculinity.• What Break of the Good Girl Myth is about.• The history of romance writing and how it is defined and critiqued.• The harmful trope of “Pussy Salvation” in romance writing. •The prevailing American myth is that you have to do everything by yourself.•TJ Klune's book on connection and found family, The House in the Cerulean Sea.•Gail's realization that she is a communal writer and writes best around people.•How Gail's confidence in herself and trust in her audience has grown over time. •How authors are driven to write non-fiction when they have identified a problem.•Break of the Good Girl Myth by Majo Molfino and where to get it.ReferencesGail Carriger - https://gailcarriger.com/Gail Carriger on Twitter - https://twitter.com/gailcarrigerThe Heroine's Journey - https://www.amazon.com/Heroines-Journey-Writers-Readers-Culture-ebook/dp/B08D5ZSNRB/The House in the Cerulean Sea - https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/45047384-the-house-in-the-cerulean-seaBreak the Good Girl Myth - https://majomolfino.com/bookHEROINE (Podcast) - https://majomolfino.com/podcast

For generations, girls have been taught a certain set of rules. These rules are rooted in harmful, patriarchal ideas about what it means to be feminine. Followers of these rules may be referred to as “Good Girls,” and though following these rules makes us more palatable for society, it makes us quieter, less powerful members of society as well. In fact, inflexibly following these rules can prevent women from engaging with the full extent of their feminine power.

And in fact, it was the most important thing you could be and along with it all things such as sweet, giving, forgiving and more. My guest on The Priestess Podcast today, Majo Molfino, is here to share with us about this good girl myth and how it can be damaging to our soul purpose, vitality, and how we show up in the world everyday. Majo also reassures us that the good girl way of being has its advantages, especially when we are children, but the key is to be discerning now and truly work out how it may be holding us back from our fullest potential and having vibrant relationships with those around us.

Krista talks to designer and creative leadership coach, Majo Molfino, about taking aligned action and building creative confidence. As the author of Break the Good Girl Myth, Majo understands the need for women to do some important inner work to recognize and reject the outdated beliefs and behaviors that stifle their potential. However, she also takes a practical approach to creativity and, through her Ignite coaching program, she helps women to take targeted and effective action to publicly express their creative purpose. She explains how to build creative confidence by letting go of perfectionism and encourages women to have the courage to overcome their fear of failure and fully commit to bringing their ideas to life.Connect with Majo:Website: majomolfino.comInstagram: @majomolfinoBreak The Good Girl Myth Book: majomolfino.com/bookIgnite Program: majomolfino.com/programThis episode is proudly sponsored by CLARYTI all-natural cleaning products.

Feeling stuck inside your own "good girl" cage? Allow Majo Molfino, author of  Break the Good Girl Myth to help us break the chains of rules, harmony, logic, perfection, and sacrifice to reclaim our feminine power! Majo Molfino is a Latinx author, designer, and women’s leadership expert. She is not only an incredible author, but the host of the HEROINE podcast featuring top female leaders, creatives, and visionaries. As a daughter of Argentine immigrants who strived to please her parents and teachers with straight A's and trophies, she spent a decade unraveling good girl tendencies. Bouts of depression and spiritual angst throughout her 20s lead to embarking on a deep, soul-searching quests so that she could reconnect with her creative, feminine, power. During these quests, Majo realized the "invisible cage" she had been living in for so long, trying to achieve and fit into the patriarchy's mold of a good girl, instead of embodying her real creative purpose and dreams, which is to write, design, sing, (in one word, CREATE) and support other women in doing the same. Let Majo reveal how we can free ourselves so we can help others live freely too! Today’s show covers topics like: ● How being a female, Latin immigrant & daughter of immigrants led her to develop a good girl mentality ● Tracing back where your "good girl" cage was first created ● How the patriarchy manifests inside of us women ● The five good girl myths and how they affect every aspect of our lives from our careers, relationships, and wellbeing ● Why understanding our primary good girl myth is so vital to reclaiming our power ● How to break free of our invisible cages Stay in touch with Majo Molfino: ● Follow Majo Molfino on IG: @MajoMolfino ● Take her free quiz: https://majomolfino.com ● Listen to her podcast, HEROINE ● Work with Majo: https://majomolfino.com ● Buy her book! https://www.amazon.com/dp/0062894056?tag=hcads-20 It's time to set yourself FREE, Lovely One!  The love of God inside of me honors the love in you.

Perfectionism is a never-ending chase. There's something you want to pursue, but you find that you're unqualified or not ready for one reason or another. As a result, you take no action, or you take steps that seem logical but aren't actually that thing (i.e. buying a podcast mic and planning your show but never actually publishing an episode). This puts you right back at square one - still wanting to pursue that thing.. and STILL unqualified. So, how does one all of a sudden feel qualified and ready to take on a goal? Well, you don't really! But you take action anyway. And you gain clarity and make progress from that action. Small, consistent action over time adds up to big results. Along with taking action, enjoying the process is just as important. You never know what the future holds. You have no idea what your goal will look like once you reach it or if you'll actually be as satisfied with the result as you're telling yourself you will be. By enjoying the journey, you take less pressure off the end result. You find a lightness and more contentment with where you're at right now, rather than constantly feeling like you're not doing or being enough. You're able to celebrate along the way and ultimately find more joy. Social media adds an interesting dynamic to today's perfectionism - it makes it THAT much harder to feel worthy since we now have access to seemingly perfect everything. We must remember that social media is a highlight reel. With that, we can continue to use it as a tool to connect with and empower each other. Post your favorite photos and show up as YOU. Know that you are enough and you are oh so worthy just as you are in this very moment. In this episode, I mention books Break the Good Girl Myth by Majo Molfino, and Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert.
