Episode 30 - What Is a Bad Person? Unravelling Good Girl Conditioning with Alex Barker
Alex is a Captain of Be More Pirate, a book turned social movement and home for professional rule breaking (look out for season 3 of our podcast coming soon...)
Alex is author of How to: Be More Pirate, a speaker, facilitator, and a coach for women. For the past four years she has delved into the world of good girl conditioning with Pass the Mic; a speaking programme designed to help women find and own their voice.

14:45 – The evolution from good girl to fierce boundary-setter.
23:30 – The small ways we override our needs (and how to reclaim your day).
35:34 – The big provocation: What is a bad person, really?
