Dazed to Driven with Kirsty Head

Alright, let’s be real - the Good Girl Hangover is sneaky as hell. You might think you’re just being polite, nice, or dependable…but really? It’s the hangover - the leftover guilt, doubt and people pleasing that sticks with you long after childhood.

It’s why you say yes when you want to scream no.It’s why you over apologise for things that aren’t your fault.It’s why you replay conversations at night, worried you upset someone.

And it doesn’t just drain you in the small moments - it can shape your whole life. Staying in jobs you hate, relationships that feel “fine but not fulfilling,” living on someone else’s timeline, following rules you never actually agreed to.

In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on the Good Girl Hangover and showing you how to finally break free.

We chat about:

🔸 The sneaky everyday signs you’ve got the Good Girl Hangover (and why it’s not just “who you are”)

🔸 The real cost of self abandoning to keep the peace

🔸 Tangible ways to start breaking free - tiny dares, nervous system hacks and rewriting the “rules” you never signed up for

🔸 What life looks like when you step into your Should Slayer Era (and why she’s already inside you)

This one’s a wake up call for every woman who’s tired of living small and ready to reclaim her unapologetic self.

Enjoy!

Lotsa love,Kirst x

We dive deep into what it REALLY means to live life on your own timeline, shake off the pressure of societal expectations and build your next chapter with intention, confidence and self trust.

Whether you’re single, questioning everything, or just feeling a little lost in your 30s, you’ll find so much comfort and clarity in this chat.

In this honest and powerful convo, we explore:

💫 The moment Emma realised she was living out of alignment - and what came next

💫 Being single in your 30s - and why it’s not a problem to be solved

💫 Letting go of the pressure to have a partner, a house or a baby “on time”

Alright, let’s be real - heading into your 30s can feel BIG. I’ll be honest, when I was on the verge of turning 30, I was in full on panic mode. I had no idea what was next, I felt completely lost, and everything I thought I knew about myself seemed to be crumbling. It was chaos, but also the start of something huge.

Fast forward 10 years, and now here I am - about to head into the last year of my 30s. And honestly? It feels wild. Time has flown by, and I’ve learned more than I ever imagined.

In this episode, I’m sharing a bit about my journey to turning 30, the lessons from my first Saturn return, and what’s on the horizon as I head into this next chapter of my life.

We’ll chat about:

🔸 The emotional challenges I faced before turning 30 and how I broke free from a life that wasn’t mine

🔸 How my first Saturn return forced me to question everything and change course

🔸 My leap into coaching, finding my calling, and how it sparked a deeper passion for personal development

🔸 The current transition I’m navigating now, and how I’m embracing change without the freak out
