Welcome to another episode of Mental Health Multiverse: A podcast where we mindfully break down your pop culture favs and discuss them through the lens of self care, mental health, and personal development.
This week on MHM we are talking about AURORA from Disney’s 1959 Sleeping Beauty and whether or not we actually consider her an “empowered Disney heroine.”
In this episode, we discuss what we like & dislike about SLEEPING BEAUTY and the cast of characters while also sharing our favorite quotes, characters, and themes.
Questions, themes, and topics we touch on include:
Love/Family
Trust
Setting boundaries
G.R.O.W. Goals
Is this movie about Aurora or is it about the people in her life who care about her?
Why wasn’t Maleficent invited to the christening?
Are the “Good Fairies” the true empowered heroines of the story?
