Welcome to our latest episode, where we dive into the impactful themes brought forth by the recent Barbie movie, a summer sensation. Our guest, Samantha Southard, aka the blonde therapist, brings her expertise as a therapist working with children, adolescents, and young women to dissect the societal pressures placed on girls and women. Samantha, drawing from her personal experiences, addresses issues such as limiting beliefs, self-image struggles, anxiety, and navigating the expectations imposed by a world that often demands more than women may feel they can provide. Join us for an insightful conversation that unpacks the messages embedded in popular culture and offers guidance on overcoming these challenges.
