400. Stop Being So Damn Nice: The Survival Programming That's Sabotaging Your Success


Listen Later

What if I told you that being too nice isn't helping you?

Being a "good woman" or a "nice girl" can actually be to your detriment. At the same time, as women, we are conditioned by society to please others and keep the peace. The problem is that "nice girls" live for other people while their dreams go to the grave.

If you relate to this, you're not alone—and you're not stuck. Learning to lean into discomfort and taking a leap into being direct could change everything. Getting over decades of programming isn't easy, but your life and business will be better when you do.

In this episode, you will learn about:

  • The big mistake I made when playing nice with a company I shouldn't have.
  • The difference between being polite and being nice.
  • Examples of when we hold back from being honest (but we shouldn't).
  • The ways our social programming shows up later in life and sabotages us.
  • Why we feel scared to demand for what we really want as women.
  • Why direct communication can be difficult but is also so important.
  • How people exploit nice women, including real life examples that happened to me.
  • What really great clients actually want you to deliver.
