Girl in Progress Olivia Kirk

Feel like you can't say no? Well then, this episode is for you! Today the Girls in Progress are talking about Ella Enchanted and how it relates to modern-day LDS culture.

Olivia explains just how a book from 1997 is actually relevant today. 

Claire shares her thoughts on blind obedience vs informed obedience and how it relates to the Church.

Lizzy talks about her own "hero's journey" to find personal revelation and her own truth. 

And Emily brings it home with the key to empowerment: love.

Tune in as we share how our lives are mirrored by an incredible book, an imperfect heroine, and a spell that some people really believe exists. It's a wild ride and we want to hear what you have to say about it. 

In this episode, the Girls in Progress are taking on one of the most beloved fairytales of all-time: Cinderella.


Lizzy shares the background of the princess, diving into her dark origins and asking the hard questions. Emily speaks on the popular controversy surrounding the body stereotypes of Cinderella, drawing on both past and modern sources. And Claire brings it all home with her interview segment about beauty and mental attitudes from girls across the country.

Have something to say about our girl Cindy or "feminine beauty"? 

Leave a comment--or even better--start a conversation with those around you! All for the sake of progress!
