The Feisty Heroine

Feisty Fridays: Watching Barbie with My Mom: Generational Gaps, Patriarchy & Perspective


Listen Later

This week, I’m sharing what happened when I finally sat down to watch Barbie with my mom—and why it didn’t go the way I hoped. From smashed baby dolls to America Ferrera’s monologue, the film hit me in all the ways it was meant to… but for my mom? Not so much.

In this episode, I unpack the generational gap between women who grew up surviving patriarchy and those of us now daring to question it. We talk about marriage, independence, motherhood, and the quiet tension between honoring where we come from—and building something different.

If you’ve ever felt misunderstood by your mother or struggled to explain your freedom to someone who didn’t have that luxury, this one's for you.
