4 Movies Perfect For Any Woman On A Self-Love Journey
Self-love is a journey, not a destination, but sometimes it can be tough to remember your worth and all the beautiful things about you. Luckily, these four movies are perfect and can inspire any woman on a self-love journey.
1. Legally Blonde (2001)
In Legally Blonde, Elle Woods (Reese Witherspoon) gets dumped by her boyfriend Warner (Matthew Davis) when she thinks he’s about to propose. Warner will be attending Harvard Law School in the fall and believes he needs someone “more serious” than Elle to succeed.
Completely heartbroken and blindsided by the breakup, Elle devises a master plan to prove just how serious she is and win Warner back: get into Harvard Law School too. When she’s accepted, Elle discovers her ambition and intelligence, all while wearing plenty of sparkles and pink, no less.
Legally Blonde is about staying true to yourself, going after what you want, and self-respect.
2. Someone Great
Someone Great stars Gina Rodriguez as Jenny Young, a music journalist about to leave New York City for a new job at Rolling Stone in San Francisco. Before her cross-country move, Jenny and her long-term boyfriend Nate (LaKeith Stanfield) split up. Heartbroken, Jenny turns to her best friends Blair (Brittany Snow) and Erin (DeWanda Wise) to help her heal in the form of one last wild night out in NYC before she moves.
Funny, poignant, and relatable, Someone Great is a perfect movie for any woman who needs to learn the power of choosing herself and writing her own story.
3. Wild
Wild starring Reese Witherspoon is based on the memoir by Cheryl Strayed. In Wild, Cheryl has lost her mother and her marriage has fallen apart. To cope with her grief, Cheryl decides, with literally no experience, to hike the Pacific Crest Trail all alone. During her 1,100-mile trek, Cheryl heals.
4. Mulan
You can’t talk about self-love movies without mentioning the Disney classic animated movie Mulan. When Mulan’s father is called to serve in the army, Mulan dresses up as his “son” to go in his place to save him from guaranteed death. While she struggles to fit in with the other soldiers at first, she works hard to prove herself as a needed member of the army and becomes one of the greatest fighters.
