Do you ever find yourself…

We all wear armour to protect ourselves, time to take off the armour
  • Saying yes when you really want to say no?
  • Shrinking your voice to avoid judgment?
  • Carrying more than your share, at work or at home?

You’re not alone – these are the quiet pieces of armour many of us wear to feel safe. But that armour also holds us back from confidence, ease, and joy.

I’ve been running workshops, webinars, and presentations since 2009, helping people grow in confidence and clarity about their choices. Over the years, I’ve seen how often women hide behind perfectionism, people-pleasing, and over-achievement – protective strategies that once kept us safe but now keep us stuck.

My work is about dismantling that armour, gently and powerfully. I believe that when you truly know yourself, your values, your boundaries, your brilliance, you stop living by everyone else’s expectations. You start saying “yes” to what matters and “no” without guilt.

This workshop is part of that mission: creating safe spaces where women can explore the armour they’ve built and begin stepping into more freedom, ease, and confidence in life and work.

There’s a version of you that learned to play it safe.

She smiled politely even when she was angry.
She said yes when her heart screamed no.
She strived to be liked, needed, and impressive—because somewhere along the way, she learned that being “good” was the path to being loved and safe.

Letting Go of Good Girl Armour

We all develop protective strategies to survive our environments. For many of us, especially women, those strategies look like the “Good Girl.” She’s agreeable, selfless, quiet, and dependable. And whilst she kept us safe for a time, her rules eventually became her cage.

This post is an invitation to recognise where those patterns live in you—and begin the gentle, seasonal process of letting them go.
