The Recovering Nice Girls Club

Education EN ↓ 12 episodes

We grew up in a time when girls were told to smile, play nice, and put up with bad behavior from men. We’ve survived messy relationships, heartbreaks, and lessons learned the hard way. Now, decades later, these two lifelong best friends are spilling the tea on how we ditched the “nice girl” script and reclaimed our voices. Join us for real talk, laughter, and the kind of honesty you only get from women who’ve been there, done that, and finally said "no more"! Whether you’re 20 or 60, these stories and lessons will hit home and may even help you break free from the nice girl syndrome too!
