For the last 12 years, I’ve been a documentary filmmaker telling the real stories of women and girls. I’m also an autoimmune-diagnosed, lifelong recovering good girl and recovering eldest daughter. For the first time, I’m coming out from behind the camera and the story I’m telling is mine. The story of what being raised to be good as a girl can do to our health as women. Over the last many years, I have been speaking with experts spanning science to soul, other daughters raised to be good and self-compromising as I was, and conducted my own research across 1,000 autoimmune diagnosed American women. My book comes out on June 2nd, but I don’t want you to have to wait to hear what I think might be in service of you now. So I’m sharing some of my favorite moments in a handful of 15-20 minute episodes beginning March 31st. Pre-order your copy wherever your favorite books are sold.

Do you often prioritize the needs of your family or friends over yourself? Self-permission, or prioritizing your own well-being, is a crucial and often overlooked element of health, specifically for women with autoimmune conditions. Episode 5 features Dr. Kelly Green, a clinical addiction and relationships psychologist and author who has taught everywhere from Harvard Medical School to Rutgers to St Edwards in the US and now is leading a new practice in Australia. We discuss the roots and impacts of the 'good girl' and caretaker identities that women like me have often adopted from a young age and how conditioning influences self-worth, addiction patterns and the importance of self-permission to foster genuine wellness and authenticity. In this episode, we cover: The formation of caretaker and 'good girl' identities in childhood The impact of conditioning on women's self-worth and behaviors How societal norms shape our permission and conditioning Practical steps for women to reclaim their innate self and reduce caregiver guilt This conversation promises a transformative insight into how societal norms directly undermine women’s wellness.
