The Barbie Movie. People either love it or hate it. They're heading to theaters dressed in pink or their fave Barbie dream outfit or standing their ground and saying, "No way, I don't want to see that feminist propaganda." Many people blame retailers, corporations, and industries (beauty, weight loss, etc.) for all of the societal pressures women face, but really, aren't WE to blame? WE, the people of the world? I think so! Most definitely! Tune in to today's episode to hear why I think the Barbie movie gives women someone (or something) to blame for their poor self-image and why I think we are playing victim rather than wanting to rise above it all.

Kacey's Podcast: (coming soon)

We've officially arrived into a new year. That means it's time for resolutions, goals, and lists. Bleh! I don't want you to waste your time on that! Resolutions end up getting broken, and you end up feeling like a loser instead of a champion.

Today, I'm talking about dropping the masks we wear in our lives and living TRUE to ourselves. We all wear masks--at church, at work, with our spouse or partner. We are constantly acting and performing, and as a single and strong woman, it's time for you to stop wearing the masks and start being true to yourself!

Years ago, I worked for a national scrapbooking magazine. One of our amazing contributors, Ali Edwards, started her "One Little Word" movement in 2007 and it's a practice I've embraced for over 10 years now. Choosing one word for you to honor and live by for the year helps you keep focused on ONLY ONE THING...but in a way, it bleeds into so many big things.

Drop your masks, choose your word for the year, and let's make 2022 the best year yet.
