Leslie:
I definitely am a member of ‘The Good Girls Club’ – growing up (and until recently) mired in the mantra “if I only tried/worked harder, everything would be fine”.
I realized that mantra actually never helped me achieve my goals or dreams – it just led to exhaustion, confusion (“after all I’ve done for you”), disappointment and eventually resentment – and not just my resentment but those I’d tried so hard to help and do right for.
It’s so interesting that it’s not until you let go of things that you actually end up with more!“
