By age eleven, most of us learn that love must be earned through performing perfectly, constant people-pleasing, and protecting others at any cost. 💔 Studies show that 65% of women feel pressured to be the "good girl" others expect, leading to burnout, resentment, and a profound disconnection from ourselves. We keep pushing harder, achieving more, giving endlessly – yet somehow it's never enough. 😔
