In 2023's Barbie Movie, America Ferrera's iconic speech magically deprogrammed the Barbies from patriarchy. And now Michelle Minnikin is here to do the same for women of the real world. 
 
From our first days on Earth, we're taught what it means to be a Good Girl. Look good, be nice, stay quiet, and take care of everyone else...
 
The list goes on, and at the heart of it all, one message shines through: Do as you're told or pay the price. In Good Girl Deprogramming, Michelle shines a light on the sinister nature, tactics and tricks of coercive control that not only program us to be Good Girls but keep us in that mindset for the years, decades, and generations that follow.
 
With ferocity, empathy, and just enough humour to prevent the idea of being brainwashed by patriarchy too depressing, Michelle shares stories, facts and actionable advice that empowers women to break free from our own programming and rediscover who we truly are.
 
Good Girl Deprogramming isn't just a book, it's a movement. One that takes each of us by the hand and invites us to step into the life that is powerfully, beautifully and unapologetically yours. Are you in?

"I love this relatable and hilarious book by Michelle. It's a thought-provoking read that prompts self-reflection and change through its engaging exercises. I want to share it with all my friends to help them break free."- Dr Hannah Bryan, Clinical Psychologist and EMDR Consultant
 
"Wow. What a read... I feel seen. I feel heard... I'm ready to shake off the shackles of a good girl and be a rebel! Not your normal book. It's a must for your bookshelf!"- Nat Hunt, OD and Systems Lead
 
"F*ck me, I wish I'd written this book. You'll never be the same again after reading it. Big statement? That's because this isn't a book, it's a new world order."- Fiona Kearns, Business Psychologist
 
"I learnt so much about myself through the questions and concepts in this book, it's been very eye opening. Michelle is tackling such an important subject, with her characteristic good humour and pirate tactics."- Alex Barker, Be More Pirate
 
"I wish I'd had access to Good Girl Deprogramming thirty years ago. In the nineties we were assured women had equal opportunity. They didn't, and they still don't. The true potential of women is consistently withheld by societal norms and Michelle Minnikin helps readers see both the water they swim in and the myriad ways in which they've constrained themselves to appease and comply. Awareness is empowerment. Together we rise."- Cathryn Barnard, Managing Director, Working the Future
