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

Episodes mentioned within this podcast that are worth a listen:

Episode 156: How to go from hating your body to accepting and appreciating it
Episode 160: Overcoming comparison in recovery with Sabine McKenzie
Episode 181: Raising self-esteem and rebuilding self-worth with psychotherapist Natalie A. Rose
