Episode Overview

In this special bonus episode, Annie opens up about the deeply personal impact that Weight Watchers (now WW International) had on her life, and what its looming bankruptcy really represents.

This isn’t just about a company in debt. It’s about the harm done to millions of women who were taught to count points instead of listening to their bodies, who were praised for shrinking instead of being supported in healing, and who are still carrying the emotional and physical aftermath.

Annie shares her story as a longtime WW customer and explores why its collapse means not just the end of a business era; it’s also a collective reckoning. But with endings come new beginnings, and this is also a story of hope, healing, and a new way forward. We hope you enjoy.
