VBB 377 Ashley Jordan: The Cost of Being The “Good Girl!"

Ashley Jordan is a role model for Good Girl defectors. She shares her deeply personal journey from living as a high-achieving, approval-seeking “good girl” to reclaiming her authentic, badass, bitch-inspired self. Ashley calls it “unbecoming,” a rejection of trying to become what others expect or demand. She explores what it means to shed layers of societal conditioning and return to one’s true essence. Ashley, a licensed attorney, nationally recognized journalist, sought-after speaker, and author of Unhappy Achiever: Rejecting the Good Girl Image and Reclaiming the Joy of Inner Fulfillment, draws on personal experience to lay out the hidden costs women often pay for “good girl” behavior, including the addictive rewards of external validation. She speaks candidly about the systemic pressures and cultural conditioning women face and is brutally honest about what it takes to prioritize your deepest desires, your holy of holies, and to take on all obstacles, even those that feel unbearable, that eventually lead to a life defined not by achievement but by liberation and self-trust. This is a very candid conversation with a woman who is rooted in helping other women break free from the constraints of an often misunderstood “Good Girl” identity.
