The Golden Child: How being the ‘good’ one creates a spiral of self-sacrifice

About the event

Always living up to expectations, rarely demanding or difficult, a highly skilled diplomat who can diffuse or avoid conflict with ease. The golden child has it all worked out right?

But unfortunately it’s not that simple for the ‘good one’ of the family. The golden child often feels immense pressure to be perfect, constantly striving to meet everyone’s expectations and abandoning their own needs in the process.

While the golden child is often praised, this role can lead to a spiral of self-sacrifice, as you suppress your needs to maintain harmony. This dynamic can lead to burnout, resentment, and difficulty setting personal boundaries.

In this talk, you will begin the process of freeing yourself from the golden child role so you can live without the burden of constant self-sacrifice.
