What if our conditioning around being a “good” person actually does more harm than good? 

In this episode, I explore how our ideas of what it means to be “good” have been shaped by oppressive systems—religion, colonialism, patriarchy, and capitalism—and how internalized shame and scarcity shape our sense of self and show up in the ways we try to show up for others. 

I unpack the shadow expression of martyrdom and saviorism—archetypes we may fall into when trying to “help”—and the unconscious ways we seek to have our needs met, often at the expense of ourselves and those we care about.

This is an invitation to reflect on the ways goodness can manifest as performance and what becomes possible when we choose self-sovereignty over self-sacrifice.
