I want you to take a moment and drop into who Barbie is for you. What does she represent: the light and the shadow? Hit pause, journal about it, and then come back, because I’m sharing what I see, and I think a lot of us are tuned into the same thing. We grew up with her, and dolls carry spirit. So what is the spirit of Barbie that has become so pervasive in our collective?
My favorite episodes are the ones where I’m so knee-deep in a theme that the only way to make sense of it is to talk it out loud. This is one of those, and it’s a theme I’ve been sitting with for a couple of years. I’m calling it Barbie Consciousness, and in this solo episode I explore where it comes from, what it gave me, and what’s waiting on the other side of it.
In this episode I explore:
💖 What Barbie really represents, from the glamour and the independence to the parts that were never real
✨ The way I used my childhood icons to heal, and what it gave me
🌙 What I saw about the mother archetype growing up, and how it shaped my choices
🔮 The shadow side of becoming an icon, and what we’re really hungry for underneath it
🌹 A surprising thing a shaman said to me about the sun and my skin
🕊️ The archetypes that open up when you graduate from girl consciousness into woman consciousness
Grab your journal, pause whenever I ask you to, and meet the version of you who is ready for what comes after Barbie.
