The smile we learned to wear 😇🫠🙃

Hello …. How are you today?

On Sunday, I was in small and beautiful town of Catalunya, Miravet, presenting my book “You’re Prettier When You Smile” for International Women’s Day.

And while walking through that quiet town, I kept thinking about a sentence many women have heard at some point in their lives:

“You’re prettier when you smile.”

A phrase that sounds harmless.

But often carries something deeper.

Because it’s not really about the smile.

🫠Very often it’s about pleasing.

🫠Softening.

🫠Not making anyone uncomfortable.

Over time, that training can turn into something bigger: perfectionism, fear of conflict, and difficulty setting boundaries.

In the new podcast episode I speak very openly about this.👇👇👇

Thank you!

In this podcast I talk about

🫠 The good girl syndrome in general

🫠 And about my personal experience.

🫠 About perfectionism.

🫠 About the anxiety that can appear when we try to be perfect.

🫠 And also about something important: how we begin to free ourselves from that pattern.

If you’ve ever felt that you had to be perfect to be loved, this episode may resonate with you.

A big hug ❤
