Continuing our conversation from episodes, EP. 121 Bad Things Happen To Good Girls and EP. 122 Redefining GOODT ENUFF, today we are talking about suffering.
As we discussed previously, we have certain thought errors that are holding us back from growing and thriving in our epic-ness. When we think that we're not being the “good girl" , problems happen, then we make it a problem that we have a problem.
Here’s the thing, life is 50/50, good and bad. No matter how “good” you are, you will still deal with pain, disappointment, embarrassment, grief, etc. It is inevitable.
So if pain is a normal part of the human experience and it's not a problem, then what is causing suffering? You’ll be surprised to know that suffering is optional. Tune in to learn more.
And if you need additional support with releasing the good girl standard of living, get on the waitlist for the Deeply Rooted Group Coaching Program by visiting www.brigjohnson.com/group for more details.

In this week's conversation, I'm expanding on the discussion started in last week's episode, EP. 121 Bad Things Happen To Good Girls, around the good girl syndrome.
Last week I shared that we think if we are living by the standard of the good girl, then the good girl doesn't have problems, and so we believe having a problem is a problem, but it's not.
The problem is that we think “this” shouldn't be happening because “this” doesn't happen to good girls. Not true. The good girl standard is the problem. And this standard is causing us to feel like we are not good enough.
These are thought errors that are holding us back from growing and thriving in our epic-ness. Let’s correct these thought errors by redefining good enough.
So grab a pen and paper then press play to tune into this interactive episode to learn how to redefine good enough.
And if you need additional support with releasing the “good girl syndrome”, get on the waitlist for the Deeply Rooted Group Coaching Program by visiting www.brigjohnson.com/group for more details.

Have you ever asked yourself these questions:
- Am I a bad girlfriend if I reply to texts late?
- Am I a terrible friend for canceling plans?
- Am I a bad person if I don't have a certain amount of money?
What you're grappling with is the “good girl syndrome”.
From childhood, many women are socialized to please others, at the cost of their own well-being or needs. The world is screaming: If you’re good, nothing bad will happen to you. And so we adopt the idea that good girls don't upset people, good girls don't put herself first, good girls don't disappoint others. These are thought errors that are holding us back.
Listen in to learn how to shift these thoughts so that you can grow and thrive in your epic-ness.
