24. PART TWO: Season One Finale Roundtable

Can you believe we’ve reached the end of Season One?! In this final episode, we’ve called in some friends – who all happen to be therapists – to celebrate, discuss, and reflect on this season all about empowering Disney Heroines! In fact, we had such a great conversation it had to be split up into two parts! Some of the topics we touch on in Part One include: Megara and navigating toxic masculinity, womanhood, and self efficacy Calling people IN vs calling them OUT Tiana and overcoming overachieving Rapunzel and making goals that are aligned with values vs outcome Nervous system regulation as it relates to future-thinking How life FEELS vs how it LOOKS Making a “right” or “wrong” decision Wise Mind Thinking Asking for help AND receiving help Pocohontas and lessons of worth, nature, and nuances Moral & ethical perfectionism, cancel culture, and shame When you know better, do better In part two our guests answer questions such as: Is Aurora an empowered heroine? What is your empowering I AM statement? What does “strength” mean to you? If you could pick three Disney Heroines to be on your D&D team, who would you pick? Resources:
