217. Unraveling the Barbie Movie: A Deep Dive into Body Image, Self-Worth, and Society's Standards

Aug 30, 2023

In today's episode of Holistic Health Radio I take a deep dive into the new Barbie Movie and the themes it touches on including body image, self-esteem and societal expectations. In this episode I discuss:

• The unrealistic body standards of Barbie
• The contrast between Barbie Land and The Real World and how this mimics a lot of themes between girlhood and adulthood
• The pressure we place on ourselves due to societal expectations as presented in America Ferrara's monologue
• Discussion of how social pressures can play out and influence our relationship with food, exercise and our body
• Why improving self-esteem and self-worth is a cornerstone of healing from disordered eating or an eating disorder
