Just a Girl

We're just girls in the world. The characters in this week's picks are women and girls facing stifling - and might just find empowerment too. 

Also in this episode, we consider advice for young girls, the new normal of clothes, and our Olympic futures. Plus: an update on last week's horrific yuck pie. 

Watch "Just a Girl," the No Doubt classic and inspiration for this week's theme.
