How we came to create
Empowered and Enough
As we sat in a theater together, both watching Barbie for the second time, we knew were in store for a hilarious AND meaningful conversation after the credits and snacks. As we dissected themes and ideas from the infamous speech about women, we came to a shared reality that women are struggling so much and rarely get the opportunity to feel seen and validated. We talked about our own realities and the stories of so many women we know and work with. And we came up with the idea to build something together, as best friends who are also therapists, that will help women to become empowered and enough.
