What Did Being Good Cost You?
The Good Girl Trap
You've always tried to do the right thing.
You help. You give. You keep the peace. You put everyone else first.
But perhaps you've become so good at being there for everyone else that you've lost touch with what you need.
Maybe you feel guilty saying no, uncomfortable taking time for yourself, or selfish when you finally put yourself first.
But what if these patterns aren't simply who you are?
What if you learned to be this way for a reason?

- What being “good” has come to mean to you.
- Why putting others first may feel almost impossible to stop.
- What these patterns might be costing you.

You don't need to judge yourself or force yourself to change.
You can begin by understanding why you became the person you thought you needed to be.
You are not broken. You adapted.

Meet Sarah Dawkins
Sarah is The Adaptation Architect, Holistic Health Coach, Author and former Registered Nurse with over 20 years of clinical experience.
Her work explores a simple but powerful idea: many of the behaviours we struggle with today once made sense in the circumstances in which they developed. They may be adaptations; ways you learned to navigate life, relationships and the world around you.
Sarah helps people recognise these patterns, understand the beliefs and stories beneath them and explore whether the adaptations that once served them still need to lead the way today. She supports clients to discover what becomes possible when they have the freedom to choose differently.
Her approach is shaped by both professional experience and her own journey of healing, which led her to look beyond symptoms and become deeply curious about the relationship between our experiences, our patterns and our wellbeing.
She is the author of Heal Yourself and host of the Mind Body Medicine for Self Healers podcast.
