How do Disney Princesses and the fairy tales they're based on shape the role of women and girls in public spaces? Why do people give up their self awareness and needs in hopes that one day someone, somewhere is going to come in to their lives and save the day? How does this play out on social media and working in an industry like tech? On this episode of Girl Gone Viral hosted by Liz Hagelthorn, Catherine Connors, aka the princess hacker, is here to discuss storytelling, the Princess Industrial Complex, Anti-Heroes and where else we see these dynamics play out in public spaces. Then Catherine and Liz discuss what characters with a scarcity mindset in stories like Willy Wonka can learn from Aristotle's understanding of happiness and the dangers of using pleasure as our measure of success. Lastly, Catherine and Liz discuss the role of personal storytelling, oversharing and the first breakthroughs by women in digital storytelling. Catherine Connors is the former co-founder and CCO of Maverick, a network for girls and young women. She's the former Editor in Chief of Babble and Head of Content for Disney Interactive's Women and Family portfolio.

You're not alone if you've ever had feelings around being "good enough." Unfortunately, this is a shared question among humans, but we feel especially among teenage girls and gender expansive youth. Abby brings in the award-winning writer and entrepreneur Catherine Connors to talk about how we can begin to reframe 'good' for ourselves (and 'enough,' for that matter)... Catherine brings in her experiences from academia, Hollywood, Silicon Valley, and as the former head of content for Disney Interactive to rethink how this question. ---Catherine Connors is also the former co-founder of Maverick, a groundbreaking venture-backed digital network for Gen Z creators that Fast Company named one of its 2019 World's Most Innovative Companies. A former political philosopher focusing on the place of women and girls in cultural history and the co-author of the critically acclaimed The Feminine Revolution (Seal Press), Catherine is cited widely and speaks frequently on the power of female creators and on empowering women and girls.

Storytelling is a critical element of who we are as a species. It's how we relate to the world – to our place in it, to our worth and value, and to others. Good storytelling is a marrow of the bones sort of thing, and Catherine Connors is a master storyteller. She also is uniquely positioned to understand the true craft of story and specifically how that relates to the role of story in leadership. She was a career academic whose path wended its way into media by way of getting hired as Editor in Chief of Babble. When Disney acquired Babble she then became Head of Content and Editor in Chief of Disney Interactive. Wielding her considerable storytelling acumen combined with her deep bench of knowledge on the power of women and women's stories, she led the charge to what would become a whole-cloth shift in the way Disney imagined its Princess franchise. No small feat. She speaks of story as a foundational element of her life, and that her first real experience of how stories can heal came from her childhood cat, Pansy. What does leadership actually mean in today's world? Good questions, right? That's what Cathy Brooks, thought. And it's why she created Talk, Unleashed – a new podcast of entirely candid conversations with fascinating people doing remarkable things. This weekly podcast will feature guests from arts and entertainment to business to technology to food to activism to politics (well, we'll see on that last one). Talk Unleashed invites these influencers to consider the things that have led to them to where they are, the lessons they've learned and how all those things can come together to create a better world. #CatherineConnors #Storytelling #Storyteller #Disney #ArtofStory #entrepreneurship #TalkUnleashed #UnleashedConversation #UnleashedLeadership #FixYourEndofTheLeash

“Embrace the challenging times, embrace the failures, know that those are growth moments."

Catherine Connors went from Academia (Sessional Lecturer at University of Toronto) to Disney Executive (Head of Content and Editor In Chief of Disney Interactive). I have shivers as she shares her story. We talk about why myths and stories matter. Is the Disney Princess Good or Evil? This is a complex question for so many reasons, but all I can say is that she changed my mind. Catherine writes the Her Bad Mother blog (named one of TIME's Top 25 Blogs of 2012.) She co-authored The Feminine Revolution with Amy K. Stanton (who I interviewed a few episodes ago.) I could listen to Catherine talk All Day Long. Her Bad Mother has been featured in the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Globe and Mail, the Toronto Star, the American Prospect, the London Times, and sundry other publications, as well as on CNN, ABC, CBC and the BBC online. Catherine has made appearances on most major media outlets, including CNN, NPR, and Good Morning America, addressing all variety of topics related to motherhood, feminism, media, and femininity — sometimes all at once.

Podcast Episode 124: Amy Stanton & Catherine Connors “The Feminine Revolution” Business powerhouses Amy Stanton (former COO of Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia) and Catherine Connors (President of Women Rising, a Hollywood studio creating content to empower women and girls) always felt that women and their unique feminine behaviors (emotion, intuition, and empathy) should be utilized and celebrated in the business world rather than seen as weak or less than useful.  Their book The Feminine Revolution takes a look at 21 feminine traits and why they should be encouraged in the business world. Everything from communicating with enthusiasm, displaying empathy and being agreeable has been labeled as “too feminine” but the authors argue those characteristics allow people to build bridges. (They even make a case for crying at the office!)  Follow Amy & Catherine on social media!

Asha and Catherine discuss the importance of valuing intuition as more than a feeling, but as a way of knowing. They also talk about how parenting has expanded their perspectives on gender roles, and how broadening and celebrating qualities traditionally seen as feminine not only empowers girls, but kids of all genders. + + + + + Every week, Edit Your Life shares practical ideas for decluttering your home, schedule, and mental space without getting bogged down by perfection.

I’m guessing you’re likely all too familiar with the often difficult balance of juggling your feminine qualities within the world of entrepreneurship. Historically, feminine qualities such as sensitivity and intuition have been perceived as weaknesses in our society. But think about the possibilities if those traits were encouraged instead. What if you brought more femininity to solving challenging situations… instead of repressing those traits? In this week’s episode of #GlambitionRadio, co-authors of “The Feminine Revolution: 21 Ways to Ignite the Power of Your Femininity for a Brighter Life and a Better World”, Amy Stanton and Catherine Connors, discuss how to think about feminine qualities in a different way. The post Amy Stanton + Catherine Connors, Co-Authors of “The Feminine Revolution” — Glambition Radio Episode 159 with Ali Brown appeared first on Ali Brown - the world's most recognized business coach for women entrepreneurs, leadership, speaker, and founder of The Trust..

We've talked at length about how the future is female, hey, it's even on shirts now, but the jury is still out on how female power impacts femininity and the associated stereotypes. That's where our guest (and dear friend) Catherine Connors comes in, who is addressing just that in her new book The Feminine Revolution. We chat about what exactly a feminine revolution looks like, how it affects our children, and what part we all play in forwarding change. We'd love to hear from you!
