EP 39: Why Being the “Good Girl” Is Draining Your Power

What if the reason you feel drained isn’t a lack of effort—but an energetic leak?

In this powerful solo episode, Anniston Riekstins explores how people-pleasing, “good girl” conditioning, and nervous system dysregulation quietly drain our power—and how reconnecting with the body restores clarity, self-trust, and authentic leadership. This conversation invites you to notice where you’ve been saying yes when your body was saying no—and how reclaiming that inner authority changes everything.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

• Why people-pleasing is a nervous system response, not a personality trait
• How unconscious behaviors become energetic leaks
• The somatic signals of a true “no”
• Why self-leadership—not niceness—creates safety and power
• How embodiment transforms burnout into clarity
• What it means to stop hustling and start magnetizing

If you’ve been holding it all together while feeling disconnected from yourself, this episode is a reminder: your power isn’t missing—it’s just been leaking.
