Episode notes
I have heard America Ferrera's Barbie Monologue many times since the movie came out and I think its fair to say that her speech 'spoke' to most women. The “impossible” standards we feel we must meet on a daily basis.
It was only recently that I heard her speech again but this time when she said "You have to be thin, but not too thin." I heard, "you have to be lean, but not too lean" and my mind spiralled into all of the expectations that are placed upon women who train.
When I shared this on Instagram I was overwhelmed by the number of women who replied to the story, shared it, messaged me, liked it, reacted.. etc.
So, I wanted to upload it here. It was a moment in time where my brain ran away with itself, but I felt it needed more than a moment.
Thank you for listening.
