Whether it’s calling out ridiculous (and frankly dangerous) beauty standards or holding people to account on social media, Jameela Jamil is a force to be reckoned with. She’s also an old friend who I could chat to forever, so of course she had to come join me on the pod!
From the lessons she’s learnt from one of the saddest years of her life, to the madness of what we’re sold as acceptable social constructs - this conversation was everything I hoped it would be. Jameela even shares some regrets around some of the more bad things she’s said online...
I always come away from spending time with Jameela feeling energised and enlightened - a real pleasure.
