Beneath every mask we wear, there is a spark waiting to be seen.

Season 2 opens with a flipped conversation where voice and visibility coach Evelyne Brink turns the questions back on Lauri. Together they explore the roots of the “Good Girl” mask, how sensitivity shaped survival, and the breakthrough moment when a hidden fire finally came roaring out on stage. This is where the journey from Good Girl to Wild Woman truly begins.

Key Takeaways:
1. The “Good Girl” mask can look different for everyone — from compliance to quiet rebellion.
2. Sensitivity in childhood often turns into hyper-vigilance in adulthood.
3. Breakthroughs happen when we allow ourselves to be bigger than the boxes others put us in.
4. Archetypes like Good Girl, Rule-Breaker, and Wild Woman illuminate how we grow beyond “shoulds.”
5. Stepping into roles that scare us often unlocks parts of ourselves we didn’t know were there.
6. When we stop trying to “get it right” and let our inner fire lead, others can finally see who we truly are.
7. The moments we risk being “too much” often become the moments that change everything.

Good Girl to Wild Woman
Stop playing small—and start speaking from the fire within.
