Ep. 210: Burning Up The Perfect Good Girl (or when I got suspended in 8th grade) - a podcast by Amy Ahlers

Show notes for today’s episode can be found at www.AmyAhlersShow.com/210

 

Way back in my middle school days, I was a perfect good girl. Teased incessiently for being the “teacher’s pet,” I struggled to find my way, straddling the world of the perfect good girl and the rebel.

 

Until I got suspended in 8th grade for doing something (ahem) bad.

 

Join me on today’s episode to hear the tale and discover:

• The true story of my 8th grade suspension, a feeble suicide attempt and what my mom said after (remembering this made me do the ugly cry)


• Why pressuring yourself or your children to be perfect isn’t the answer


• How to balance a desire for excellence with the monster of perfection
