Honestly, I’m not equipped to talk about body positivity or diet culture because I suck at the former and I’m still deeply embroiled in the latter. I’m okay with this. It’s a work in progress. That’s what Poductivity is all about. Finding problems that are blocking us from progress and learning how to set fire to them. 

This week’s guest is Jennifer Atilemile, she’s an Australian model who is now based in New York and has just been signed with a major lingerie brand (can you guess which one? It’s revealed a bit later in the show!) as one of their first size-inclusive models.

In this episode, we chat about finding your path, the pressure to look a certain way and being vocal about what you believe in even when it might cost you your career.

 

‘I can’t stand cancel culture. I think it stops us from learning and growing.’
