Good Girl Deprogramming

Unlearn the Rules. Reclaim Your Power.

You’ve been following the rules since the moment you were born. Be polite. Be nice. Be agreeable. Put others first. Be a Good Girl.

But what if these rules are holding you back? What if they were designed to keep you small, overworked, and undervalued?

Good Girl Deprogramming is your guide to unlearning the expectations that have shaped your life – and reclaiming the confidence, power, and freedom that are rightfully yours.

“As I said at the beginning of this book, this has been my path to deprogramming my Good Girl. Your path will be different. And this is what I want for you: to figure out what you want, what you need, what works for you, and what being more you looks like. I want you to go after it.”

“I learnt so much about myself through the questions and concepts in this book, it's been very eye opening. Michelle is tackling such an important subject, with her characteristic good humour and pirate tactics.”

Kate Hargreaves

“Reading this book feels like having a conversation with a hilarious and impossibly wise friend. This could be the most important book you and the women in your life read. It stops here, with us.”

Fiona Kearns

“F*ck me, I wish I’d written this book. You’ll never be the same again after reading it. Big statement? That’s because this isn’t a book, it’s a new world order.”
