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?
