The Problem With Disney Princesses - Heather Stewart

We grew up on Disney princesses… and we also grew up on a whole lot of quiet programming about who we’re supposed to be.<br data-text="true">In this episode, I unpack how those sparkly stories shape our expectations of love, gender roles, and “happily ever after” in ways that leave both women and men confused, resentful, and exhausted.<br data-text="true">I'm going to talk about why waiting to be rescued keeps you from owning your life, how “nice vs. mean” gets twisted (especially for powerful women), and what actually happens after the credits roll in real relationships.<br data-text="true">In this episode, I dive into:- How Disney princesses train girls to be sweet, passive, and “rescued” instead of powerful and self-responsible- The pressure on boys to be big, strong saviours (and why many struggle with women who don’t need saving)- Why we label strong, boundaried women as “bitches” or “dragon ladies”- The “evil queen” archetype and what it teaches us about fearing female power- Why your primary happiness has to come from inside you... not from Prince Charming<br data-text="true">If you’ve ever secretly felt like you were doing relationships “wrong” because they don’t feel like a fairy tale, this conversation will help you see that you’re not broken, you were just programmed. It’s time to write your own story.<br data-text="true">Want to create some clarity for yourself and unpack your 'bags' - have a complimentary Alignment Activation with me... https://heatherstewart.coach/talk-to-me<br data-text="true">Author Heather Stewart<br data-text="true">Amazon.com – https://www.amazon.com/dp/1997615215Amazon.ca – https://www.amazon.ca/dp/1997615215<br data-text="true">https://heatherstewart.coach/<br data-text="true">info@heatherstewart.coach<br data-text="true">To get more of Illuminate Your Worth – Heather Stewart, be sure to visit the archives page for replays of all her shows here: https://www.inspiredchoicesnetwork.com/podcast/illuminate-your-worth-heather-stewart/
