Summary
What happens when the “good girl” identity you built your life around no longer fits?
In this episode of Good Girls Gotta Heal, Megan Walsh sits down with Kristina Mancilla, host of Good Girl Gone Human, for a powerful conversation about untangling yourself from the expectations that once felt like survival.
Kristina opens up about what it meant to leave behind her religious community, navigate divorce, and step into single motherhood—all while trying to reconnect with her true self. Together, they explore how the “good girl” script shows up in our relationships, how healing often requires both grief and joy, and why creating safe, honest community spaces (like women’s circles) is essential to growth.
If you’ve ever felt like you had to hold it all together to be “good,” this conversation will remind you that your wholeness—not your perfection—is where your power lives.
