Beyond the Good Catholic Girl: Religious Conditioning,Burnout and Reclaiming Self with Janet Banks

In this deeply honest and expansive conversation, Janet shares her journey from being the sixth child in a large Catholic family to becoming a nurse, educator, and coach navigating burnout, boundaries, and a profound spiritual re-remembering.

Together, we explore how birth order, early medical experiences, religious conditioning, and people-pleasing quietly shape our nervous systems, our self-worth, and our capacity to receive life on our own terms.

This episode dives into:

• How early “small-t” traumas create lifelong patterns of self-abandonment
• The hidden cost of being the good girl, helper, or healer
• Burnout as a sacred wake-up call—not a personal failure
• Reclaiming spirituality beyond patriarchy, guilt, and rules
• Why healing doesn’t have to be hard when you’re supported and witnessed

If you’re a woman in midlife feeling exhausted, disillusioned, or quietly longing for more, this conversation will help you name what’s been happening—and gently guide you back to yourself.

✨ You are not broken.
✨ You are remembering.
