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\u2019s 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 \u2014 sometimes all at once.
