Shine On with Reese Witherspoon

Shine On With Reese Witherspoon
Available on Netflix
4/5 Stars

If you feel like being empowered, particularly if you are a female, give this series a go. It’s all about women who have inspired Reese Witherspoon, the creator of the show, and how they are leaders in their respective fields.

The series consists of short sections of interviews with women, all of them about 20 minutes long. (That’s actually why I knocked one star off of the review – the interviews are a little short, and I would have loved a deeper dig into each person.) But, the subjects of the interviews are really nifty and I felt like taking over the world after watching each one.

You will be treated to interviews with well-known stars like Pink and America Ferrera, but more importantly (in my estimation), is that you will hear from people who aren’t so well known – like an editor at a major fashion magazine, and the first African-American woman to hold the highest student position at West Point. (Netflix saved this interview for last, and it was by far my favorite. I was truly inspired by her story!)

If you feel like a little need for some more confidence, to be inspired, and to rid yourself of your personal fears of taking the next step for a dream you might have, give this series a whirl. It’s light and easy and fun, but also inspiring. Enjoy!
