If you haven’t seen Barbie yet, well then… go see it! (And then go see it again.) Today, we are talking about all things Barbie mania, including Greta Gertwig, Alan’s character in Barbie and representation of healthy masculinity vs. toxic masculinity, plus the theory that there are many future Barbie movies in the works. 

We celebrate Natalie’s 8-year anniversary from surviving a near-death health scare, and Corinne shares details and tips following her all-inclusive vacation to Cancun. We also answer Solicited Advice questions from listeners, and play Citizen’s Arrest — anyone seen Non-Playable Characters on TikTok? 

In this episode, we discuss:

  • The difference between the Barbie album and Barbie soundtrack 
  • Alan, healthy masculinity and its comparison to sexual identity
  • Will there be a Barbie 2? And all the upcoming Mattel movies and 
  • Natalie celebrates her 8th dia-versary with Type 1 diabetes

WRAP UP:

To wrap up the episode, we play Citizen’s Arrest. Natalie is calling out California drivers who don’t let you back into the driving lane after an emergency vehicle has gone by, and shoppers who don’t let those with fewer items check out before them. Corinne’s citizen’s arrest involves  a disturbing rearrest: the weirdness of Non-Playable Character (NPC) TikTok Live videos.

Om Podcasten

Each week, our hosts, Corinne Foxx and Natalie McMillan, cheers to the uncertainty of adulthood. And by “cheers,” they are being quite literal. A glass of wine (or two) makes this life “how to” podcast feel more like casual, after-work drinks with your best friend than a lengthy lecture. Budding business owners and best friends, Corinne and Natalie know first hand how hard it is to navigate life’s biggest milestones, from completing your first tax return to buying your first home. They often find themselves calling each other for advice, frequently asking, “Am I Doing This Right?” And thus a sisterhood of common confusion has been born. Am I Doing This Right? is not a your typical “how to” podcast. Why? Well, Corinne and Natalie aren’t experts - in fact, they’re far from it. They’re just two best friends with 26 years of life experience, and a whole lot of questions about today’s rapidly changing world. For example, How do I start my own business? Should I buy or lease my car? How do we survive student debt? What’s the best Hinge profile strategy? How do I balance work life and my personal life? Do I really need a 401k? The goal isn’t to provide all the answers, but to bring comfort to our audience knowing they aren’t the only ones asking the same questions. This evergreen podcast will act as a guide book for young people on how to kickstart their adulthood. This “learning along the way” approach makes this podcast less of a Ted Talk and more of a happy hour. For more life advice, follow us on Instagram: @amidoingthisrightpod Have a life question?
