154. Empowered or Objectified? 90’s Girl Power Through Teen Eyes – with Andrea (Part 1)

Podcast

IN THIS EPISODE:

Andrea, now 37, grew up in the 1990s, shaped by the influence of pop icons like Britney Spears and the Spice Girls. Back then, “girl power” looked like tube tops, perfect hair, and using every ounce of energy to grab—and most importantly, keep—the attention of boys.

As a teenager, Andrea poured her focus into chasing male approval. But when the attention finally came, and kissing or more was expected to maintain it, the magic disappeared. The chase felt exhausting, and the physical side of things felt more like a performance than pleasure. Deep down, she wasn’t enjoying any of it.

Confused and disappointed, Andrea started to wonder if something was wrong with her.

Tune in next week for Part 2 of Andrea’s story—where things start to shift.
