If Barbie were a real woman she would have: divorced Ken, had 1-tummy tuck under her belt, endured 2 lay-offs, suffered with thinning hair, turned off the lights while making love and probably been treated for her depression! Come on people let’s get real; Barbie would look and feel like most of us! Forty to fifty percent of women in the U.S. are under pressure to measure up to a certain social and cultural ideal of beauty, which can lead to poor body image. Women are constantly bombarded with "Barbie-doll" images. If you fear the words “Pool Party”, let Dr. Andrea walk you through it! Got a class or family reunion coming up? Allow Dr. Andrea to boost your confidence! Is your daughter obsessed about being SKINNY? Dr. Andrea can coach her through it! Or do you just desire to feel good about YOU? Don’t miss this show!
