The Good Girl Game Changers Podcast

Season 2 - Huddling Together

Our research has found that seeing other women successfully break free from their ‘good girl’ mindsets made the journey feel possible for others. These role models and mentors demonstrate that we can navigate challenges while staying authentic—even when it feels overwhelming. Yet too often, we hesitate to seek guidance, believing we should figure everything out alone or fearing judgment for asking for help.

In this season of the podcast we explore the power of huddling, where you'll hear from diverse women including the practical tools that helped them stay grounded in challenging moments.

Episode 1 - Brooke Baldwin - Do You Need A Huddle To Break Free?

Do you yearn for meaningful connections beyond quick coffee catch-ups and surface-level networking? Are you surrounded by women in your daily life - at work, in your neighborhood, or through your children - yet missing those deeper bonds of mutual support? Do you dream of having a powerful circle of women to celebrate your wins, lift you through challenges, and inspire your growth? Brooke Baldwin teaches us what huddles mean.

Episode 2 - Do You Know How To Huddle?

When it comes to connecting with others, do you know exactly who's in your huddle and how they support different areas of your life? Have you mastered the art of making clear asks when you need their help? Or do you tend to struggle to nurture the relationships you need?

Episode 3 - Dr. Chelle McQuaid - Is Being 'Good' Costing You Too Much?

Do you remember the first time you learned you needed to be "good" to be loved? Perhaps it was a gold star for sitting quietly, or praise for putting others first, or the silent treatment when you spoke up too loudly. For Chelle, it was a little golden book that cost just 40 cents at the supermarket checkout - a book that would shape how she saw herself for decades to come.

Episode 4 - Evie Wright - Have You Lost Who You've Dreamt Of Being?

Have you been taken by surprise to discover just how deeply society’s ‘good girl’ expectations shapes your choices? Do you find yourself wondering how these beliefs took hold, no matter how free-spirited your childhood may have been? Evie shares her compelling journey.

Episode 5 - 'Ditch The Ditty' Trio - Why Do We Always Say Yes?

Do you exhaust yourself being the office superhero who can't say no? Are you the go-to person for tasks nobody else wants? Do you find yourself organizing the office party, managing the school fundraiser, and hosting family gatherings – all while secretly wishing someone else would step up? Lindsey Godwin, Molly McGuigan, and Miriam Novotny share their insights on "ditching ditties".

Episode 6 - Do You Need Help Saying No?

How many times this week have you agreed to do something you didn't want to do? Are you drowning in 'shoulds' while your own priorities get pushed aside? Does the thought of saying 'no' fill you with anxiety?

Episode 7 - Tina Bruce - Can You Lead Without Being Perfect?

Are you feeling the call to bring women together in a ‘huddle’? Do you worry that you first need to have everything perfectly figured out? Does the thought of holding space for others leave you feeling overwhelmed? Tina Bruces shares her knowledge accessing the subtle body.

Episode 8 - How Do You Show Up To A Huddle?

When you gather in a group, do you arrive anxious and disconnected? Are you stuck in your head and unable to truly show up for the collective experience? Do you struggle to trust the natural flow of energy that emerges when people come together?

Episode 9 - Kasey Edwards - How Do You Deal With Criticism?

Who do you allow to shape your opinion of yourself? Does criticism send you into a spiral of self-doubt that can last for days? When was the last time you lifted another woman up—and felt lifted in return? Kasey Edwards shares her insights from her book "Goodbye Good Girl, Hello Me".

Episode 10 - Do You Uplift Others?

Are you intentional about whose encouragement and support you seek out? Do you notice yourself or the women in your life silence achievements and downplay success to avoid seeming ‘boastful’? Is your instinct to compete and outshine, or to uplift and support other women?

Episode 11 - Anna Milaeva - How Do You Deal With Disagreements?

What do you do when a conversation gets uncomfortable? When someone’s perspective challenges yours, do you lean in, get defensive or shut down? It’s easy to retreat into habits of self-protection, but these moments don’t have to push us apart — they can be opportunities for deeper understanding, growth, and connection. Anna Milaeva recaps us on Internal Family Systems (IFS) as a model of human transformation.

How are you showing up in your most important relationships? We all have moments where the people we love the most get the worst version of us. Why? Because when things feel hard, our protective parts often leap into action.

Episode 13 - Sophia Fifner - Who's Walking Toward Change With You?

In a world that feels increasingly fractured, finding authentic ways to engage has never mattered more. Sophia Fifner introduces us to the LEAD framework for civic engagement.

Episode 14 - Are You Burning Bridges Or Building Them?

When was the last time you felt tempted to walk away from someone in your community who thinks differently than you? Maybe they have opposing political views, communicate in ways that frustrate you, or prioritize values that don't align with yours. In a world that feels increasingly polarized, it's tempting to believe that drawing hard lines and protecting our territory is the only way forward.

Episode 15 - Gabrielle Bernstein - Next Time You're Triggered, Try This.

When was the last time you felt stretched so thin you could snap? Maybe someone dismissed your hard work with a casual criticism? Or perhaps one tiny detail fell through and suddenly you heard yourself unleashing a torrent of blame that didn't even sound like you? Gabby Bernstein explains how protection mechanisms like perfectionism and control develop as survival strategies in childhood.

Episode 16 - What Happens When You Snap?

When you micromanage your team, do you explain it away as your "controlling part" without making amends? When you snap at a friend, do you blame it on your "defensive part" and move on? Or do you find ways to both honor these parts of you while taking responsibility for how they affect others?

Episode 17 - Season Finale - Maureen (Mo) McKenna - The Conversation We All Need To Be Having

Do you find yourself feeling increasingly isolated despite being surrounded by people? How many opportunities for connection do you miss each day?
