What has become evident to me, especially with the rise of vagal toning, cold plunges, cacao ceremonies, nervous system education, and inner child work, is that wellness culture has sold women the “good girl” in a new outfit. She no longer needs to be thin and silent; now she must be “regulated,” “conscious,” “self-aware,” “mindful,” and “embodied.” She posts nervous system infographics. She references her attachment style. She speaks about her inner child. She eats clean, hydrates, goes to pilates, sets boundaries, but only the kind that don’t make her appear too unavailable, too angry, too selfish or too much. Her embodiment must be aesthetically pleasing. Her grief, poetic. Her rage, alchemized. Her communication, intentional. Her body, clean. But what I want you to know is that this is not liberation. This is rebranding. And it demands composure, not consciousness. And for many women, the reason healing doesn’t seem to “work” is because the part of them doing the “work” is still the part that’s trying to be acceptable. These practices are healing, transformational, and all the things if done with the intention to actually heal; not to be accepted in the new "good girl" outfit. Swipe to read more.
