Re-release: How to break free from always being the good girl with Kasia Urbaniak

This week’s guest is Kasia Urbaniak. Kasia is the founder and CEO of The Academy, a school that teaches women the foundations of power and influence.  Kasia's perspective on power is unique. Over the course of nearly 20 years, she has worked as a professional Dominatrix, practiced Taoist alchemy in one of the oldest female-led monasteries in China and obtained dozens of certifications in different disciplines, including Medical Qi Gong and Systemic Constellations. Since founding The Academy in 2013, Kasia has taught hundreds of women practical tools to step into leadership positions in their relationships, families, workplaces, and wider communities. In the episode, Kasia shares about how to break free from good girl conditioning. In her words "We need bad girls, women who ruffle feathers, shake people up." And this blew me away - when we ask for what we truly want no matter how crazy, it doesn’t just benefit self or child, it benefits all of society" We talk about how to give and receive “no” and she goes in-depth on the familiar feeling for many mums, resentment. How suppressing it is the equivalent of a suicide bomber, a bit dramatic but rings true. When it finally explodes, it impacts ourselves and those around us. Her clarity around this and tools she offers for turning it around resonated strongly with me. What I really loved about speaking with Kasia on top of the entire conversation, are the simple actionable tools she shares. If you are like me and feel the world needs woman who are self-directed, strong and acting in their own best interests and not just everyone else’s, this episode will leave you feeling understood, inspired and empowered. Trust me, Kasia is electrifying. She is on a mission to liberate woman from the shackles of good girl conditioning. I hope you find it helpful. As always, we continue the conversation over on Instagram, so come and join us there.
