138. [Relationship Series Part 1] HSPs A...

Alissa Boyer
About this episode

In today's episode, part 1 of a 6 part relationship series, we dive into the 'good girl' persona and its challenges for highly sensitive people (HSP's). I discuss the struggle with setting boundaries and expressing needs due to fear and uncertainty. We focus on the people-pleasing good girl archetype, exploring why it forms, how it affects us, and how to slowly step out of this role by accepting discomfort as part of growth and embracing our true selves.
