Manage episode 345849512 series 3351860
This week the CB duo dives into a post inspired by @imani.intouch. The post highlights how the "good girl" aka the girl who stays quiet, people-pleases, doesn't show emotion, and cares about what everyone thinks turn into an anxious and overthinking woman.
As the post states "The good girl is an identity/set of social constructs that are placed on women from a very young age. The good girl is socialized to be the giver, the savior & the people-pleaser in exchange for love, approval, and validation. Even if it cost them their well-being". Divya and Ravisha reflect on how their social and family normalized "good girl" behaviors and how those behaviors impact them as they interact as adults in the world, friendships, career settings, and life overall.
