In this week’s episode, I explore the cost of being “good”. Re-inspired by the storytelling and the movie release of Wicked, I examine the novel/musical’s storyline as an illustration for the ways we, especially as women, can become trapped and lose ourselves in a quest for society’s approval and acceptance. Join me as I break down Oz’s smoke and mirrors, silence as a strategy for acceptance, and the pain of taming oneself to belong. Let’s defy gravity by defying “good”.
