Break the Good Girl Myth

How to Dismantle Outdated Rules, Unleash Your Power, and Design a More Purposeful Life

By: Majo Molfino

Narrated by: Majo Molfino

"A must-read for any woman who is ready to design a life on her own terms." (Sophia Amoruso, founder and CEO, Girlboss)

Women: it’s time to break the good-girl myths that are holding you back and share your true gifts with this groundbreaking book from Stanford University-trained designer and women’s leadership expert Majo Molfino.

For thousands of years, women have been taught to be “good” instead of powerful. But when we embody the good girl, we hold back their voices and gifts in a world that desperately needs female perspectives. Drawing on countless coaching sessions and conversations with female leaders, Majo identifies five self-sabotaging tendencies (“the five Good Girl Myths”) every woman must overcome to unleash her power and design a more purposeful life:

• The Myth of Rules
• The Myth of Perfection
• The Myth of Logic
• The Myth of Harmony
• The Myth of Sacrifice

While there are many women’s leadership books, Majo uses her knowledge and training in design thinking (which is used by the world’s most innovative people and companies) to help you build creative confidence and break free from these disempowering myths once and for all. Discover how each myth negatively affects your relationships, career, and well-being and identify your primary good girl myth - the blind spot that’s zapping most of your power as a creative badass.

If you’re a woman who can’t seem to get your voice or ideas out into the world, Break the Good Girl Myth will finally help you understand why and light the way out so you can become the woman you’re meant to be.

Your time - our time - is now.

Mindblowing and real- every woman needs to read this book!

If I could give this 10 stars I would. This book broke down the barriers to living my life freely that I either didn't know were there, or had an inkling of but thought I was the only one experiencing them. The research and heart in this work was so needed and the delivery came at just the right time. I feel like I'm finally breaking down and out of patterns that have plagued me my entire life. THANK YOU for sharing this work!

Just what I needed to hear

I liked Majo and her storytelling of how to rethink situation and conflict. Exactly the help and advice I needed in life.

Excelente

Me encantó este libro. Hace años escucho a Majo en su podcast y el libro en su voz fue aun mejor.

Women empowerment

I love personal growth. This book was designed to inspire and empower women to be and achieve all they can. This can be done by overcoming any obstacles that might be holding women back (limiting beliefs). Listened on audio!

Majo Magic

Majo gives so many great lessons on the myths you don't even think you are following and gives you tools and teaches you to be the best person you can be. A powerful book that should be read many times.

For empaths and women wanting to grow and live a better life

I loved this audiobook and am recommending it to my daughters, nieces, sister and friends. I liked the many take aways and how it relates to everyday life in work and relationships. Really glad I stumbled upon this book!

A must-read for all women!

This book breaks down the five myths that every womyn must overcome in order to claim her power and build a life of her own design. It’s the energy I needed going into 2021.

The author starts with an assessment so you can understand which of the myths is most pervasive in your life. She then walks us through each myth, how it might show up in life, and how you can start to overcome what is holding you back. Molfino offers a lot of exercises, tools, and even free meditations that are available on her website. This book is full of actual tools to 𝑑𝑒𝑠𝑖𝑔𝑛 𝑦𝑜𝑢𝑟 𝑙𝑖𝑓𝑒. At the end of each chapter she has a one pager with each section with page numbers so you can quickly find the things you need. I love when authors do stuff like that! It makes it so much easier to reference later.

I read the book, skipping through the activities, and now I need to go back through to spend time with each exercise. I think wherever you are in your desire for change in your life, this book has something to offer.

Our little reading group was lucky enough to talk to Majo during our book chat. She was incredibly helpful in offering insight, tools, and was just a fun and highly intelligent woman. I am a fan for life.

I listened to the audiobook as well as read the physical book. I recommend both.

This book shifted my life perspective

As much as I am grateful for my parents and upbringing, this book has also highlighted how long-lived assumptions about women shaped my personal development in the classroom and workplace.
I’ve adopted a new mindset about what’s possible for me when I drop my own myths - rules and perfection - to imperfectly and also whole-heartedly approach my own dreams.

Every woman should read this book

I loved this book. So well written and so relevant and empowering. Will be using the knowledge it gave me for the rest of my life.

Clear and concise

A good personal development primer on dismantling internal patriarchal structures and freeing ourselves from the ingrained societal “myths” that keep us small. Lots of food for thought. The author does a good job narrating but I might also get the print book to revisit some of the material.
