Wild Kindness: Breaking Free from the 'Nice Girl' Trap

Scenic Route, Social Change and Mental Health Conversations for Perfectionists

Are you exhausted from being everyone's emotional support human? In this game-changing episode, we're unpacking how being "nice" became a cage and why embracing wild kindness might be your key to freedom.

Drawing from bell hooks' radical vision of love and Pierre Bourdieu's social theory, we explore:

• How society weaponizes kindness against women
• The real cost of emotional labour in modern life
• Why "being nice" is a tool of social control
• How to practice fierce kindness without guilt
• Setting boundaries as an act of revolutionary self-love

Perfect for recovering people-pleasers, boundary-setting beginners, and anyone ready to redefine what kindness means on their own terms.
Join us on the Scenic Route.
