In this episode, we delve into the topic of "good girl" conditioning and its effects on women in professional settings.

Our guest, Michelle Minnikin, author of "Good Girl Deprogramming," shares insights into her personal journey of recognizing and overcoming this conditioning.

She delves into the research surrounding coercive control tactics and discusses the complex interplay between likeability and credibility that women often navigate in the workplace, along with the negative stereotypes and labels they face.

We also get to:

  • examine the performative aspect of International Women's Day,
  • advocate for a reimagining of workplace structures to better align with the unique rhythms and energies of women,
  • explore the implications of traditional dating practices,
  • the fragility of masculinity and the evolving dynamics of power within society.
