Thelma and Louise - Over the Corporate Cliff

Why Good Girls Finish Last - Would it kill you to smile?


Listen Later

Why is it usually women organising the office party ๐ŸŽ‰, buying the farewell card ๐Ÿ’Œ, and volunteering for the behind-the-scenes work that keeps things running - but rarely gets recognised? ๐Ÿค”

It starts way earlier than you think. ๐Ÿ‘ถ

In this episode, weโ€™re unpacking Good Girl Syndrome, the unspoken rules that teach women to be agreeable, self-sacrificing, and โ€œniceโ€ at the expense of their own success.


From the moment we are born, unconscious bias shapes our world, think: pink for girls ๐ŸŽ€, blue for boys ๐Ÿ’™; dolls for her ๐Ÿงธ, trucks for him ๐Ÿš—.

And it doesnโ€™t stop there. These early messages grow into workplace expectations that reward โ€œnicenessโ€ in women and confidence in men. ๐Ÿ’ผ

Remember when Grace Tame wore that bold "disrespectful" T-shirt on Australia Day ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡บ and people were more offended by her outfit ๐Ÿ‘• than the message behind it?

๐Ÿšซ That is what happens when women step outside the โ€œgood girlโ€ box.


But this isnโ€™t just a conversation for women.

If you are a dad ๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿ‘ง, uncle ๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿ‘งโ€๐Ÿ‘ฆ, mentor ๐Ÿค, or leader ๐ŸŒŸ we want you in this too. Because raising girls who know their worth starts with teaching them to have a voice ๐ŸŽค, not just to be 'nice'.

๐Ÿ”ฅ Ready to stop playing small and start owning your voice?


๐ŸŽง Hit play. Get inspired. And letโ€™s rewrite the rules together. โœŠ
