The Rebel: When Being “Good” Stops Working
In this episode of Unmuted: Beyond the Good Girl, host Gillian Wray dives into this month’s SpeakEasy archetype theme: The Rebel.But this isn’t leather jackets and dramatic exits.This is the quiet, simmering inner protest that builds after years of being “good.” The over-functioning. The self-silencing. The staying when you already know something isn’t right.Using her signature “fire phrases” exercise, Gillian explores how the Rebel often emerges not as chaos, but as a signal.

Lost in the Looking Glass
In the season finale of Unmuted, I step into the mirror.

Stop Talking about Women's bodies.
