Why do we feel pressure to be the “nice girl” while secretly wanting to break the mold? In this episode of Unquiet You, Amy Gleaves dives into her journey of navigating family expectations, societal rules, and personal growth.
Amy reflects on growing up in a household where roles were clearly defined and being “nice” meant keeping peace at all costs. But as she became a young mother, she realized that following the mold would only continue cycles she didn’t want for herself or her children. Amy shares how she learned to stand firm in her boundaries, challenge old patterns, and embrace the black sheep label — all while maintaining kindness and authenticity.
Listeners will gain insight into balancing self-respect with empathy, understanding that breaking family molds doesn’t mean breaking family bonds, and creating a life aligned with their own values.
If you’ve ever struggled to say no, set boundaries, or break generational patterns, this episode is full of courage, practical wisdom, and inspiration.
