Bring Your Inner Mean Girl to Life—Make Your Inner Mean Girl Exposé

Now that you’ve conducted your full Inner Mean Girl investigation, it’s time to compile your results in your official Inner Mean Girl exposé and bring her to life. We even want you to find out her name and create or find a visual image, drawing, or representation of her—you can’t very well have an intimate relationship with someone if you don’t know her name and what she looks like, can you? To keep your IMG off your back and move her into a new job, you’ll need to be on a first-name basis and have a visual to connect to what she looks and feels like.

Complete your exposé before moving on to the next section. Do not let your Inner Mean Girl sabotage you. Your IMG may tell you pesky Big Fat Lies, like:

“YOU DON’T HAVE TIME.”

“THIS IS SILLY.”

“YOU DON’T NEED THIS.”

“YOU CAN COME BACK AND DO IT LATER.”

“IT DOESN’T REALLY MATTER IF YOU CREATE AN IMAGE OF ME.”

If she is, it’s time to take a stand. All of those are lies to subvert you from exposing her. Plus, women tell us they love creating their Inner Mean Girl exposé, naming their IMGs and bringing them to life visually because they get to be creative. And don’t freak out if your IMG likes to tell you that you can’t draw or that you aren’t creative. Every woman is creative; most of us have just forgotten or have an IMG that has squashed that creativity. You don’t have to be an accomplished artist to bring your Inner Mean Girl to life. We’ve done this with girls as young as seven, and if they can do it, so can you. And we won’t leave you hanging on this—we’ve put together some special superpower creative tools and even included some samples from our students. This isn’t about making a beautiful painting or perfect drawing—it’s about you expressing yourself!

Step 1: Gather up the following six pieces of Inner Mean Girl data from all the powerful investigative work you just did.

Using the template (see the sample on the next page), write this information in the book, or make your own template in your Inner Wisdom journal, writing out each of the following pieces of information. You can also get a copy of the template to download and print from the Inner Wisdom Kit at innerwisdomkit.com :

Main Archetype(s)

Top Five Big Fat Lies

Toxic Habits (what she drives you to do)

Triggers

Cost

Purpose (her biggest fears/what she’s trying to protect you from feeling or experiencing)

Step 2: Name your Inner Mean Girl.

Ask your Inner Mean Girl what she likes to be called, let her archetype inspire you, or have fun and make it up. This is very empowering for women and makes it all the more fun. Some of our students’ Inner Mean Girls’ names have included: Loyal to a Fault Lucy, Beat It Brenda, Perfectionist Peggy, Bitchy Beatrice, and Anxious Annie. (Alliteration can make the name snappy and
