Wild Kindness: Breaking Free from the 'Nice Girl' Trap

Scenic Route, Social Change and Mental Health Conversations for Perfectionists
Scenic Route, Social Change and Mental Health Conversations for Perfectionists
Episode • Jan 14 • 18m

Are you exhausted from being everyone's emotional support human? In this game-changing episode, we're unpacking how being "nice" became a cage and why embracing wild kindness might be your key to freedom.

Drawing from bell hooks' radical vision of love and Pierre Bourdieu's social theory, we explore:

  • How society weaponizes kindness against women
  • The real cost of emotional labour in modern life
  • Why "being nice" is a tool of social control
  • How to practice fierce kindness without guilt
  • Setting boundaries as an act of revolutionary self-love

Perfect for recovering people-pleasers, boundary-setting beginners, and anyone ready to redefine what kindness means on their own terms.

Join us on the Scenic Route.
