The Lie Women Are Sold About Being Good What if one of the greatest obstacles to your freedom isn't other people, it's the version of womanhood you've been taught to perform? In this episode of Mid Week Tease, Adelle explores the hidden costs of being "a good woman," why so many women struggle to choose themselves, and the deeper fear that often sits underneath self-abandonment: the fear of freedom. From childhood conditioning to the burden of responsibility that comes with creating your own life, this episode invites you to question the scripts you've inherited and ask yourself a powerful question: Am I living a life I've chosen, or one I've inherited? In This Episode How girls learn to become "good"When goodness becomes an identityThe hidden cost of self-abandonmentWhy being good doesn't protect us from painThe fear of freedom and responsibilityWhy women fear judgment more than failureThe difference between being good and being wholeChoosing a life that is truly your ownJoin the LCA Newsletter: https://www.legallycluelessafrica.com Follow Legally Clueless Africa Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/legallycluelessafrica TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@legallycluelessafrica YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@LegallyCluelessAfrica Share This Episode If this episode resonated with you, share it with a woman who's learning that her worth is not determined by how much she sacrifices for others.
