Episode 32: The Year I Chose Myself: A Recovering Good Girl's Annual Review | Season 1 Finale
Welcome to the Season 1 finale of the Recovering Good Girls Revolution—and I'm doing something I didn't plan.
I was supposed to end with an episode about "ongoing growth and moxie." But something sacred happened: I felt pulled to do what good girls are never taught to do. Pause. Reflect. Take stock. Actually witness my own transformation instead of rushing past it toward the next goal.
Because here's the truth: reflection isn't indulgent. It's revolutionary.
What You'll Hear in This Episode:
THE EXITS -
What I Burned Down I share two major exits from this year: stepping back from the caretaker role with my in-laws (even when it looked selfish) and leaving expensive business containers that required me to sacrifice my authenticity. These exits cost me…my health, my money, my comfort—but they gave me something more valuable: myself.
THE RECLAMATIONS -
Who I Remembered I Was I talk about reclaiming my own voice after trying to borrow someone else's magic, and finally starting this podcast after years of telling myself I couldn't. This year, I remembered that my voice doesn't need external validation—it has its own fire.
THE RISE -
How I Became Dangerous From setting boundaries that disrupted family expectations to demanding healthcare that actually listens to women's bodies, I became a threat to systems that needed me compliant. And that's exactly what the revolution requires.
THE WISDOM -
What This Year Taught Me Two hard-earned lessons: family won't always love you when it's hard, and social media metrics mean nothing when it comes to real transformation. These aren't just my lessons—they're invitations for your own reflection.
Your Sacred Inventory Awaits:
I'll guide you through reflection prompts based on the Sacred Exit Method—questions about what you exited, what you reclaimed, and how you became dangerous this year. You can journal them, think through them on a walk, or process them however works for you.
This is for every recovering good girl who chose herself this year, even when it looked selfish. Even when it made others uncomfortable. Even when it cost something.
You are not just healing. You are revolting. And the world needs your revolution.
This isn't just another podcast you listened to. This is a devotion to your ongoing evolution.
Season 2 is coming. Until then, stay dangerous. Stay sacred. Keep choosing yourself.
