Podcasts about barbies

Once upon a time, I was creating art without calling it that. I made up stories in my head and acted them out with my Barbies. I dreamt of faraway worlds and lived in them for a while.Now, as a (semi) adult, my brain has decided to sprinkle in self-doubt, perfectionism, and a hearty dose of criticism — and call it a personality.In the first part of this five-part series — structured around the questions I ask myself (and attempt to answer without spiraling) — I explore how we can become most free in the act of creation. Why channeling your inner child isn't quite enough. And how to feel less blocked, less critical, and maybe even a little okay with what you make.With wisdom from some of the creatives in my life, plus guidance from Rick Rubin (aka The Creative Act: A Way of Being), I share what's helped me feel less stuck, and like someone who actually make things.Whether you're a full-time artist, or just someone with feelings and a Pinterest board, this one's for you.If you liked what you heard, make sure to give this podcast five stars, a follow and let me know what I can improve in the comments.

“I Don’t Like Playing with My Kids” – Why Play Still Matters If the idea of playing Barbies or dragons makes you groan… you’re not alone. In this episode, Justin and Kylie tackle a parenting confession that many are afraid to admit: “I don’t like playing with my kids.” Drawing from emotional intelligence research and real-life experience, they unpack why play matters (even if it’s not your favourite), how to make it meaningful and manageable, and why it’s one of the simplest ways to build connection, confidence, and emotional regulation in your child. KEY POINTS Play is not a luxury—it’s essential.Play builds emotional intelligence, connection, and social skills better than almost anything else. It’s not about doing it ‘right’.Play works best when it’s spontaneous, simple, and mutually enjoyable—not when it’s forced or scripted. The emotional impact is profound.Play regulates emotions, reduces tension, strengthens relationships, and helps kids feel seen, heard, and valued. The secret is in the interaction.What makes play powerful is the back-and-forth: the jokes, the giggles, the shared creativity—not the activity itself. A little goes a long way.Just 5–10 minutes of intentional play can fill your child’s emotional cup and help them play independently afterwards. QUOTE OF THE EPISODE “Play is not about perfection—it’s about connection and presence.” RESOURCES MENTIONED Happy Families Membership – parenting tools & webinars happyfamilies.com.au – resources for raising emotionally intelligent kids Ethan Kross, Shift ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS Find a 5–10 minute window each dayYou don’t need hours. Commit to short, fully present bursts of play—no phones, no multitasking. Gamify the mundaneTurn routines into playful challenges: “Can you hop to the bathroom on one foot?” or “Let’s race to tidy up.” Let your child leadAsk: “How could we make this more fun?” Give them a sense of autonomy and watch their creativity bloom. Prioritise connection over performanceYou’re not there to entertain—you’re there to engage. Drop the pressure, enjoy the moment. Repeat. Consistency is the win.Over time, this builds emotional strength, stronger relationships, and memories that last. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

 The Art of the Voice with Leslie Gordon   Episode #157   In this episode of The Creative Soulpreneur, host Nick sits down with Leslie Gordon, a dynamic public speaker, coach, and linguist. Leslie, who will soon be stepping into her new role as the president of the National Speakers Association's Atlanta chapter, shares her inspiring journey from a Barbie-loving child who dreamed of being a dancer to a seasoned linguist passionate about the power of language and communication. They dive into her fascinating work, which includes accent and voice training, and discuss the importance of reconnecting with one's authentic voice. Leslie shares valuable insights on maintaining curiosity and breaking away from the "shoulds" that often hinder personal growth and expression. Tune in to explore the transformative nature of language and discover how Leslie's story can inspire you to reclaim your own voice and follow what makes your heart truly happy.   Key takeaways:   Play as a Pathway: Rediscovering the child-like curiosity and playful experimentation can be a gateway to uncovering your authentic self and voice. Whether it's through imaginative play with Barbies as a child or experimenting with new sounds and languages, embracing play leads to creative discovery.   The Power of Curiosity: Maintaining a mindset of curiosity rather than obligation (switching "should" to "could") opens up new possibilities. By asking ourselves what might happen instead of telling ourselves what to do, we access a more expansive and creative mindset.   Aligning Voice and Purpose: Finding your voice isn't just about speech clarity—it's about aligning your physical, mental, and emotional self with your true purpose. Through coaching and reflection, understanding the motivations behind our inner narratives can unlock a more authentic and powerful way of communicating.   Lesliegordonspeech.com Leslie Gordon Instagram     Story Telling Guide!!!   Leslie Gordon is a public speaker, speaker coach, and linguist with over 20 years of experience helping individuals refine their speech, voice, and accents to communicate with clarity and confidence.

What do you get when a group of podiatrists team up with a Barbie doll collector? A research paper published in the journal PLOS ONE that looks into 65 years of Barbie history. The idea started when one of the authors was watching the 2023 Barbie movie. In it, there was a scene when Barbie steps out of her high heels and her feet flatten for the first time. For those of us who grew up with Barbie, we know that her feet used to be in a permanent tip-toe position. The researchers found a Barbie collector and analysed 2750 of their Barbie dolls from her debut in 1959 to June 2024 with a specific tool designed to measure foot posture of the doll. They found that over the decades Barbie has moved from a world of endless stilettos to one where flats are more common, especially when she's on a job. Just like many women today, Barbie now 'chooses' her shoes based on what she needs to do. If she's skateboarding, working as an astronaut, or heading to a medical shift, it's flats all the way. But when it's time to party, those heels come back out. In the 1960s, all Barbies stood on tip-toes, ready for a night out. But by the 2020s, only 40 percent of Barbies had that high-heel-ready posture. That change aligns with Barbie's expanding résumé. From being an astronaut in 1965 to a surgeon, Barbie has boldly entered fields once dominated by men. As women gained more workplace rights and opportunities, so did Barbie. In fact, by 2024, 33 percent of Barbies represent real-world jobs. And with that shift came new footwear more functional, more stable, and more diverse. The study found that Barbie's foot posture reflected more than just job roles. It mirrored broader changes in representation and inclusion. For example, Barbie dolls with prosthetic limbs wore flat shoes to reflect stability, but intriguingly, some dolls in wheelchairs still wore high heels, reminding us that fashion and function can coexist, and that breaking stereotypes isn't always about ditching glamour. The topic of high heels often comes with warnings - about bunions, knee pain, back problems. But here's the twist: these issues are also common in people who don't wear heels. And most research into high-heel risks involves people who rarely wear them or wear them during high-impact activities. There's a lot we don't know about the long-term effects of regularly wearing high heels. What we do know is this: they slow your walking pace and challenge your balance. But risk varies depending on heel height, shoe design, and individual lifestyle. Ultimately, Barbie reflects us. She's not just a plastic fashionista, she's a cultural mirror. Her shift from stilettos to flats isn't about turning her back on glamour. It's about making purposeful choices. Barbie wears heels when she's feeling fabulous, and sneakers when she's saving the world. And maybe that's the real message here: women can and do make thoughtful decisions about their footwear based on comfort, identity, and function.

PRESS REVIEW – Thursday, May 15: We look at a crucial court ruling in EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen's "Pfizergate" scandal. But first, Hungary's government examines a bill that would allow it to shut down media or NGOs considered a threat to national security. Plus, Australian researchers find that Barbie's feet have become flatter over time and it's linked to her growing independence! The Hungarian government is considering an extremely repressive law. There seems to be little interest in the main Hungarian newspapers – except in Telex, one of the last independent news sites in the country. And for good reason: the government is mulling a law that would allow it to monitor, penalise and possibly shut down all independent media and NGOs deemed a threat to national sovereignty. In other words, as Telex notes wryly, the Fidesz party's new bill is similar to the one that has served Russian President Vladimir Putin well in building a dictatorship. Radio Free Europe notes that this bill follows a series of similar repressive moves in the country. In March, Prime Minister Viktor Orban cracked down on journalists and politicians who receive foreign funding. Last month, a constitutional amendment banned public displays of homosexuality and gender diversity, while allowing police to use facial recognition technology. The timing of this bill is particularly interesting. As the Guardian notes, Orban's bill is a move to crack down on dissent ahead of elections in Hungary next year. It comes amid the rising popularity of the Tisza party, headed by Orban's former ally Peter Magyar, who could pose an unprecedented challenge.Staying in Europe, a tribunal has handed down a verdict against European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen in the Pfizergate scandal. French paper Libération takes us through the scandal, which came to light in 2021 after The New York Times published an article about the negotiations of the biggest ever EU vaccine contract with Pfizer. During the first few months of 2021, von der Leyen exchanged several SMS with Albert Bourla, the CEO of Pfizer, in the negotiation of a multi-billion-euro contract for Covid vaccines. For its article about the negotiations, The New York Times made an official request for the SMS, but the EU Commission denied the request. It offered various unclear explanations, saying the messages had the disappearing message function or were deleted. The EU's general court ruled yesterday that von der Leyen failed in her obligation to be transparent. As Politico notes, it raises very interesting issues about the legitimacy of SMS and WhatsApp messages as official documents. The judge's "bombshell ruling", as Politico puts it, indicates that the Commission was wrong to deny access to the messages. The Commission says the messages were too boring to count as documents. The judgment suggests that text messages should be considered official documents, but it's not at all binding. Public access to officials' SMS will mostly likely continue to not be granted freely.Finally, we discover a fascinating study led by Australian researchers about Barbie's feet! According to The Conversation, Australian podiatrists were particularly interested in Barbie's feet after a memorable scene from the 2023 film. They decided to study the shape of her feet from 1959 to 2024 – that's 2,750 Barbies in total. What they found is fascinating: basically Barbie's high-heeled feet became flatter over the decades, something that appears to mirror broader societal changes. Barbie ditched her high-heeled posture the more she climbed the career ladder. In the 1960s, you only had tip-toed Barbies. By the 2020s, only about 40 percent wore heels. As Barbie became more diverse and inclusive, but also more athletic and representative in male-dominated fields, her feet flattened. It suggests a correlation between flat-footed Barbie and her emancipation from societal constraints!You can catch our press review every morning on France 24 at 7:20am and 9:20am (Paris time), from Monday to Friday.

Birthdays are usually all about toys, right? When I was a kid, I loved getting Barbies or stuffed animals. But I just read about a 10-year-old named Kendyl, and the best gift she got this year? A pair of glasses. Not super exciting... until she put them on.These glasses transcribe speech in real time, letting Kendyl, who is deaf, see conversations as they happen. How cool is that?! It's going to change her life - helping her in school, with friends, everywhere.

Vajragupta shares how her creativity and devotion flow to (and from) her collection of Barbies. Drawing on the imagery, chakras and mantras of the Five Wisdom Queens, she leads a meditation evoking each of their qualities in turn.

Jenny, Katie and Mandy are champagne-loving working moms who will win you over with their honesty and candor.    Quotes “Hardest was getting my husband on board…he is not organized and it's been really hard to get him on board…I said to him, ‘This is important to me and this is important for my mental health. I'm a better mom when our house is in order. I'm more fun…I'm not running around stressed. So, that is still the hardest for me is getting him fully on board and really getting him to lean in with me.” (18:53 | Katie) “It took a few weeks  for it to become a habit for me and now I just do it. I don't think about it; I don't dread it. It's just something I do before I go and sit down after dinner and kids and bed and all those things.”(20:31 | Jenny) “Hardest part was letting my kids do more because I feel like I was always just cleaning up because it was going to be quicker and things went where they needed to go. But my kids are old enough now, they're five and seven, and they know the different bins and, ‘Legos go in this one or Barbies in this one,' and I just wasn't letting them do that. So, this made me think, ‘Actually, get the kids involved. They can do it,' and they do it pretty well.” (21:12 | Mandy)   Links Connect with Moms Night Out Hosts: You can listen to the Moms Night Out podcast by clicking here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/moms-night-out/id1709587885 Follow Moms Night Out here: https://www.instagram.com/momsnightoutmno?igsh=MXhwMXl1NDNoenJ5Ng==   To join the free "New Year, New Clarity: Organize Your Life in 2025" experience happening TODAY, please sign up here: https://www.gridandglam.com/new-year-new-clarity   Connect With Corinne: https://www.gridandglam.com/ https://www.corinnemorahan.com/ https://www.instagram.com/gridandglam/ https://www.instagram.com/corinnemorahan/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/corinnemorahan/ https://www.facebook.com/gridandglam https://www.youtube.com/@gridandglam1 Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

Many collectors are drawn to items that reflect who they are as individuals. For some, the comparisons between themselves and what they covet are rather abstract, while for others, the parallels can be quite literal. Mike is a doctor by profession and a Barbie collector by obsession, who maintains an archive of every Doctor Barbie that has been produced, as well as varying pieces of medical Barbie ephemera. Join the conversation as we discuss beautiful egg salad sandwiches, Brooke Shields' limited line of dolls, mini-skirts and high heels as proper medical attire and more!

Damien Dysania is an introspective, imaginative and anxiety-ridden millennial who is sick and tired of trying to solve the mysteries of the universe on his own. In an effort to relieve the burden of the human condition, he has orchestrated conversations with fascinating individuals and cunningly persuades them to do the heavy thinking for him.

Dennis is joined via Zoom by two of his friends from the Xana-crew; Eric Seppala and Ruston Harker who have something unique in common. They both created passion projects during the pandemic involving Barbies and Instagram, which continue to today. Ruston's account is @dolldecree and it features short animated vignettes involving Barbie and her friends, saying pithy things and looking fabulous. Eric's account is @olivianewtonjohnisadoll and it's exactly what it sounds like. Using Barbie dolls, Eric has painstakingly recreated looks from Olivia's career; from her breakout days in the 1970's to Xanadu to the Physical era to her more recent memoir launch. Both men talk about what inspired them to start the accounts, their different creative processes--Ruston uses AI, Eric is totally old school--their most popular posts, and what having this side project has brought to their lives. Other topics include: the shame attached to wanting to play with Barbies as a boy, the Christmas gifts they'll remember forever, the joy of connecting with other Xana-fans, and constantly wondering if you're crazy for putting so much time, money and passion into these doll projects. The episode ends with a special musical moment; a bangin' cover of Kelly Clarkson's "Under the Mistletoe" performed by Dennis's past guests Matt Zarley and Kathy Deitch. Happy Holidays, everyone!

“I remember my dad telling me when I was 12 or 13 that I was too old to play with toys,” reports internationally known Barbie collector Jim Taylor. He opened Season 4 of Smart Sex, Smart Love by talking about why he began collecting Barbies, and now is the proud owner of more than 3,000 dolls. “I played with traditional boy toys growing up,” he points out. “I loved transformers.” As he got older, his desire to play with toys never diminished. Finally, when Taylor was well into his 20s, he decided, “I can do what I want, and I'm going to buy toys if I feel like it.” He has no “scientific” process for doll collecting. “Some people collect celebrity dolls; others collect ball gown dolls or Kens. Buy what you love, and you will love your collection,” he announces. “It's what makes me happy.” He urges others: “Follow your bliss. I no longer say to myself, ‘you're a grown man, you can't buy that.' Buy yourself a doll if it makes you happy!” Learn more about doll collecting and Jim Taylor's story in this Smart Sex, Smart Love podcast.

In this episode of Pretty Funny Business, we're chatting with Phil Gamache, the genius behind the Humans of Martech podcast. Phil takes us on a journey through his world of marketing automation, the wild ride of podcasting, and even the creative chaos of AI-generated content.We dive into what it's like to turn a passion project into a full-time gig, the ups and downs of small business life, and how to keep your industry connections alive while chasing big dreams. Plus, Phil gets real about balancing work, family life, and parenting-cue the toys! (Yes, we're talking Barbies, Hot Wheels, and even the Yoto player. Get your kid's Santa lists ready!)And let's not forget his aspirations to write a sci-fi novel (because who doesn't want to escape reality sometimes?) and how owning your own domain name is basically adulting 101. This one's packed with laughs, insights, and those “yes, same” moments about work-life balance, parenting wins, and the magic of community.Grab your coffee (or wine-we don't judge) and tune in for a mix of real talk, relatable moments, and a few unexpected giggles. You're going to love this one, almost as much as Phil loved the self portrait that Lauren made for him: This is a public episode.

It's easy to get wrapped up in the hustle and bustle of the holidays and to lose touch with the reason for the season. Although the gift-giving possibilities are endless, the most cherished gift is often time spent with loved ones and friends. Memories last a lifetime; batteries wear out and Barbies go bald.In this episode, with Christmas approaching, we discuss alternatives that don't break the bank yet give the gift of togetherness. Reminisce, look at photo albums, invite your family to bake cookies or decorate the tree. Plan a trip. Go caroling. Volunteer at a food bank. Shop for a needy family. The time spent together will be memories you share for a  lifetime.And when the planning and preparation is complete, remember to celebrate the birth of Jesus. He is the greatest gift of all.Show notes:So How Much Do Americans Spend on Christmas? www.safe1.org.The internet is divided: Parents defend Christmas minimalism www.today.com.Cool Christmas Gifts for Kids www.amazon.com.Ten Best Gifts for Teenagers www.realsimple.com.Over 100 holiday gift ideas for your college student www.collegeparentcentral.com.40 Thoughtful Gifts for Couples, No Matter Where They Are in Their Relationship www.goodhousekeeping.com.Gift for Seniors: 68 Great Ideas www.greatseniorliving.com.31 Gifts You Should Never, Ever Give www.goodhousekeeping.com.Long Row Lavender:http://longrowlavendar.com/

Progress: first sock finished, nearly to the heel on the second sock.   Brainstorming I'm debating starting my first Woolens and Nosh advent sock early since December is hectic I never get as far as I'd like. I thought I could make a sweater from me with the leftovers of Mom's Rhinebeck Sweater yarn, but it doesn't look like I'll have enough yarn, so that project is on hold. Perhaps I'll look for more yarn to add to it and save it for that. Dan's Litchfield Hat with Welcome to Litchfield Handspun (Ravelry Project Page) I'm planning to knit socks for my friend Sheri. My niece Aila asked for socks for Christmas. She'd like these Daisy Socks- pattern on Ravelry.   From the Armchair The Paying Guests by Sarah Waters. Bookshop Affiliate Link. Amazon Affiliate Link.

When Megg, Tom and Hattie came to pick him up they stayed for a chat. Hattie got out the ponies and Barbies, then she abandoned that to knit on my Berry Lemonade socks with me. She did fantastic after a quick reminder of the stitches and even took my feedback about putting her left index finger on the second stitch on the needle to prevent that from falling off while slipping the stitch she just worked, off the left needle. Hattie asked to start her own pair of socks (ambitious) and tried on scrappy helical socks I started in November (Ravelry Project Page) She tried on the scrappy helical socks I started in November and they fit. I need about 1.5 inches before toe on the first sock, so I should pick those back up soon.   KAL News Pigskin Party '24 #DCSPigskinParty24 Event Dates: Thursday September 5, 2024- Monday February 10, 2025 Find everything you need in the Start Here Thread in the Ravelry Group Official Rules Registration Form  (you must be Registered to be eligible for prizes) Find out what Team you're on (Team Chats will open 9/1/24) Enter your projects using the Point Tally Form Find the full list of Sponsors in this Google Doc.

Let me know!   Life in Focus   Mom Update: After Whole Brain Radiation, Mom went right into 5 targeted radiation treatments to help reduce the size of the cancer in a lymph node that was pressing on nerves that then get in the way of her right vocal cord. As of about mid-July, she didn't have any voice, and they hoped to correct that. On her last day of that radiation, she also had a PleureX cathetered installed in her right lung to allow regular at-home drainage to keep that pressure off her lung. The day after that- Dad and I tested positive for Covid and by Monday Mom had too. Thankfully Dad and I had only mild symptoms and Mom had none- which was a blessing because the insertion of that port left her riddled with pain for days. Now she's coming out of that but starting a new chemo. We're hopeful that this will take away some of her pain and its already meant she doesn't need her lung drained as frequently. Hoping September will be a better month for her than the last couple.   Ask Me Anything   NDoyle asks: What has been your favorite item you've made this year and why? Millie's Squishmallow Sheltie Dog that I crocheted without a pattern- Ravelry Project Page Emotional Support Chicken- Ravelry Project Page Marilynknits- What gauge do you knit your socks at? 8-8.5 sts per inch. 56 sts on US 1.5 needles= 6.5 to 7 inch circumference   On a Happy Note I am very relieved that Covid was mild for us, especially for my Mom. Also very grateful that my brother who was on vacation in Virginia just as we came down with Covid, ended up having a bicycle accident that left him with bruises all over and a broken rib- but is going to be OK. I made everyone promise we'd all stay out of the hospital for one full week! Visits with my cousin Jenny and her daughter Vera who often come over to see my Mom. Weekend pool time, especially with our youngest niece and nephew who are absolute fishies! My dear friend Nathan (only a couple years older than me) had a successful heart and kidney transplant only 1 day apart from each other but is recovering well. Our family all bought t-shirts and made donations to help his family and got a great photo to send him poolside one afternoon! My Mom wanted to get eyelash extensions so she, my cousin Jenny and I all went and it was a lovely experience. Dan and I picked up my grandmother and we all went to my cousin Nancy's Surprise 60th birthday. Mom and Gram both had a great day that. Beautiful sunny poolday with all the kiddos swimming, I caught up with many of my cousins who I don't get to see all the time, learned there's another new baby coming in January and enjoyed fresh pizza from a woodfired oven. We also sang to my grandmother. From there, we headed to Terri's Graduation Party. She runs the dancing school where I met Kris & Megg, two of my best friends who have 5 of our niblings. Dan's younger brother Dave played in the band, the kids all played together. We got to see Terri's brother who came up from FL, and Conor, Carly and baby Miles after they were in Nantucket for a couple weeks. Dinner & Les Mis with Kris, Aila and Megg. At Mom's chemo treatment, we got to see my friend Waveney who was my officemate in my first job at the hospital 22 years ago and her son, Tighe, checked us in at the Infusion Clinic. As soon as I said hello, his whole face lit up with a smile and he came around and immediately hugged us all. It was pure joy! He'll be back off to college soon. We hosted a 90th birthday party for my grandmother at The Tavern in her assisted living facility. I put together all sorts of cool photo decorations & used some of her old picture frames for the tables and guests could take them as favors. Dan DJed, and my Dad, our friend Sharon & cousin Susan prepared the food) and the kiddos all acted as bartenders. Hattie even went around and took photos. All of the joy and hope coming out of Democratic party with coverage of the DNC. It feels great to have a candidate I'm truly joyful about supporting. A quieter weekend- getting ready for my friend Marta to arrive from Barcelona (if I'm a bit MIA that's why)   Quote of the Week One evening in August, you have an errand outdoors, and all of a sudden, it's pitch-black.
