Fatphobia on TV, in the movies, and around the dinner table - with Meaghan Cahill


Listen Later

On today's episode I'm getting giggly and gossipy with my friend and colleague Meaghan Cahill of Cahill Wellness. We're chatting about the characters on TV and in the movies that have shaped our understanding of our bodies, weight, health, and worth - for better or worse. We also discuss how these lessons continue to show up in present day life - in the general culture and around our dinner tables. 

We chat:

  • Formative tv and movie characters like Bridget Jones, the Kardashians, the mom in What's Eating Gilbert Grape, and Schmidt from the New Girl
  • The teen, coming of age "transformation" movie genre
  • loving old tv and movies... even though you can see how problematic they are
  • Why Jill is so exhausted by body conversation and how she recently F&*cked up
  • Meaghan's stellar advice on how to have more success in the future
  • and more!
