This week I am talking about weight. I recently have had some issues with a foot injury and it brought up a lot of feelings that I know I am not the only one struggling with. I'm talking about my thought process, how I reframed this moment in my life, and what I am optimistic about in moving forward. Enjoy!

In this week's episode, I'm talking to my favorite college professor and the TeeVeePhD herself, Dr. Michele-Foss Snowden. After taking her Television Criticism class at Sacramento State I was never able to watch TV the same way and I hope after this episode you won't either. 

Listen to learn how all the ingredients come together and to understand why the presence of under-represented groups in media is either completely wrong or not shown at all. 

Dr. Foss is serving up this TV realness buffet regularly on her podcast The TV Doctor available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, and basically anywhere podcasts are available. Be sure to also follow her on Instagram at @teeveephd.
