The dichotomy of the ‘Religious Rebel’ Woman & the ‘Good Christian Girl’ Archetypes & how to break free to be more of your authentic self:
In my deep research, my own spiritual awakening and evolution journey and working with high achieving clients, I accidentally uncovered a dichotomy.
And it’s something that, until this moment, I bet you actually deep down KNEW existed, but had struggled to put your finger on, or put words to. It’s this:
In most religious Christian circles, girls and women can only be ONE of two things –
The Good Christian Girl / Good Christian Woman
OR
The Rebellious Woman / Harlot / Strong Independent Career Woman / Opinionated
Have you noticed this?
If you don’t fit the mold, toe the line, dim down your voice and opinions.. if you don’t PERFECTLY fit into the archetype of the Good Christian Girl, you are IMMEDIATELY labelled as the other.
And so develops this unnameable subconscious fear with deep (often unconscious) dialogue going a little something like this:
“I don’t want people to think I’m rebellious, or selfish, or immoral, or too independent.. so I’ll dim myself down”
The thing is, as women when we get to our 30s, 40s and beyond we get to a point where we are severely burnt out and literally CANNOT operate in this dichotomy – this pattern of self-abandonment and fear any longer..
But it’s like – how do we untangle from it all to be unapologetically ourselves, without becoming someone we’re not, but also not becoming something we fear (like being labelled rebellious)?
While ever we don’t feel safe to just BE, the full expression of authenticity cannot exist.
