Michelle Minnikin
Psychologist. Sovereignty Strategist. Good Girl Deprogrammer.
I help women stop outsourcing their power and start leading from within. My work blends evidence-based psychology with soul-led frameworks to help women break free from internalised “Good Girl” patterns and lead with courage, clarity, and desire. You weren’t meant to hustle. You were meant to lead from what’s true.
Join Our Live Event: Leading from Desire, Not Duty
This is Immersion 4 of The Summer of Sovereignty, a 7-part series based on the 7 Keys to Sovereign Self-Leadership - for women ready to rise beyond performance and into presence. Each session is a self-contained experience. You can attend one, a few, or the full spiral. This one is where we return to the question: What do I actually want?
Is This You?
✴︎ You constantly prioritise what’s urgent over what’s meaningful ✴︎ You feel overworked, under-inspired, and trapped in duty ✴︎ You’ve achieved so much… and still feel off-centre ✴︎ You struggle to make space for joy, creativity, or your own vision ✴︎ You want to stop performing and start pursuing what actually matters to you If you’re nodding along—, ou don’t need more strategy. You need a homecoming to your desire. This Immersion will help you remember what you’re really here to do - and lead from that place.
What We’re Exploring…
How duty and obligation disconnect you from your vision
We’ll unpack how hustle, martyrdom, and “shoulds” block intuitive clarity and how to unwind them.
The difference between fear-driven action and desire-led action
You’ll learn to identify the subtle cues between over-responsibility and inspired contribution.
Vision as a compass, not a performance
You’ll explore what vision feels like in the body, and how to make decisions that align with it.

What people are saying
Discover how reconnecting with inner desire has helped women break from burnout, reclaim their rhythm, and lead with clarity and alignment.
I attended x2 workshops ran by Michelle on Deprogrammimg your Good Girl. Prior to the first session I didn’t think I was a ‘good girl’ however, my eyes were opened to all of the subtle and subconscious ways in which the majority of women are programmed to behave, especially in a work environment. Michelle created a safe space for me and my colleagues to share our experiences and also challenged us to where we’ve also fed into the narrative (my biggest takeaway women are some of the worst culprits for reinforcing the good girl narrative!). After the sessions I bought Michelle’s book and would recommend others to do the same!

Michelle is the person to call when you finally figure out the old ways are holding you back. Michelle is lots of fun but that’s just the cover over a performance genius who helps you get and keep the right people. When you’re done making all the mistakes, let Michelle Minnikin show you a better way. Yes, I’m biased because she is also a trusted fellow psychologist and friend. You can rely on Michelle for results.

Thoroughly enjoyed our Good Girl Deprogramming Session with Michelle. Not only was the session insightful, thorough and thoughtful, it was entertaining and engaging too. By the end of the session the sense of camaraderie in the room was tangible and everyone left armed with a copy of the book and a spring in their step. The best part of the GGDP for me, is that it actually practical steps and processes to implement but also Michelle has taken so much time to clearly explain the concept and present it an accessible manner. We had two hours to run the session but the amount of conversation it invoked, we could easily have filled a day! I would absolutely recommend any workplace that wants to empower it's female workplace gives this a try. Don't forget to pick up a copy of the book too! Here is the point where I would normally read back what I'd written, self censor and remove one too many exclamation marks - but not anymore! Consider me a rebel girl in the making! :-P
