In this episode, fellow Women's Empowerment Coach, Gia Lacqua, and I dive headfirst into the world of Barbie and exploring how the new movie speaks to Women's Confidence and the evolution of women in society.

We break down the recently released Barbie movie and all the amazing messages it carries.

We're talking about Barbie's evolution and how she's dealing with her own existential crisis.

It's a journey that every woman can relate to, from waking up and discovering cellulite to questioning society's beauty standards.

It's all about the challenges faced by women on their way to success.

But here's the twist: it's not just about women.

We're delving into the roles of men as well and how they fit into the equation.

It's all about creating a more equitable society and finding a balance that works for everyone.

So grab your popcorn and get ready for an empowering and thought-provoking conversation on confidence, self-discovery, and the ever-evolving expectations placed on women.

Let's dive into the world of Barbie and discover the hidden messages behind this game-changing film. You won't want to miss it!
