Break These "Nice Girl" Habits & Become ...

Impact Theory
About this episode

Welcome to another power-packed episode homie! Today, we're breaking free from the 'Nice Girl' habits and stepping into the bad b*tch boots that prioritizes self-love and creating the life you want and deserve. 

Award-winning singer, songwriter, and entrepreneur, Dinah Jane, former member of the chart-topping group 5th Harmony, is joining us and sharing how she transformed her identity crisis into power and self-acceptance.

Dinah underlines the importance of having pride in the woman you've become, without shame for the woman you were. We explore the struggle between suffering in silence to please others, or standing up for oneself. Dinah shares her painful experience of diminishing herself for the wrong partner, and reveals how she escaped an unhealthy relationship and learned to be her own woman.

Ladies, are you ready to shake off expectations from your family and society? Let's stop playing the 'Nice Girl', a path that leads to self-destruction, unnecessary pain, and abuse. This is your call to rise, speak out, and become the woman everyone respects. 


DINAH JANE WISDOM:

“I want to fall. I want to cry. I want to be imperfect, I don’t want this perfect lifestyle.”

“Are you going to continue to suffer? Or are you going to officially stand up for yourself and say I want this or I deserve this and change the verbage?”

“Dimming myself for someone else is something I will never do to myself.”

“I love me for me, whatever era I’m in.”

“Sometimes I’m going to fall, and sometimes I’m not going to be perfect, but I’m always striving to be. When I make these mistakes I just know to get myself back up.”
