Nadine and Kelly couldn’t help but do a fun episode about the newly released Barbie movie and delve into their point of view on the themes and messages portrayed in the film. Together, they explore Barbieland, a world run by women, and the contrast it presents with the Real World and also Kendom, which is run by men. They dive deeper into the importance of balance and harmony between masculine and feminine energies, the challenges of teenage transitions for both parents and children, and the power of self-discovery and self-acceptance. They highlight the impactful monologue delivered by America Ferrera's character and the significance of the mother-daughter relationship portrayed in the movie.

Key Topics:

• Harmony between masculine and feminine energies is crucial for a balanced and healthy society.
• Discussing Barbieland’s flaws and the importance of inclusivity over suppression.
• The mother-daughter relationship and the significant changes during the transition from childhood to adolescence, and it is important for mothers to support their daughters' individuality and growth.
• The power of self-discovery and self-acceptance which allows individuals to break free from societal expectations and create their own identities.

Quotes from the movie in this episode:

"It is literally impossible to be a woman. You are so beautiful and so smart, and it kills me that you don't think you're good enough." - America Ferrera's character in the Barbie movie.

“You are so beautiful,” says Margot Robbie who plays Barbie. “I know,” replies the old woman on the bench.

"I'm just so tired of watching myself and every single other woman tie herself into knots so that people will like us." - America Ferrera's character in the Barbie movie.
