In her work as a life coach, Majo Molfino found that many of her hard-working, ambitious, and successful women clients were falling prey to self-sabotaging tendencies—like trusting authority over their own gut feelings or avoiding necessary conflict for the sake of going with the flow. She realized that these behaviors stemmed from how the women were conditioned from birth to be “good girls,” taught by parents and teachers that following the rules is the surest path to succeed, and that doing the right thing would help them feel safe and valued in a culture that was constantly undermining their worth. In Break the Good Girl Myth, Molfino explores how this conditioning has caused women to internalize five disempowering myths—Rules, Harmony, Logic, Perfection, and Sacrifice—that are affecting their wellbeing and holding them back at work and in relationships. In guiding readers through these myths and how to overcome them, Molfino leads women on a process of self-discovery and healing, empowering them to share their gifts with the world.
