Making It Awkward

Having Grown Up with Jillian Michaels, Gen Z is Healing


Listen Later

Today's ep is to wrap up the conversation about Jillian Michaels, phew! And will provide some brief initial feedback received on last week's episode with MAHA Mom Leslie Voorhees Means. Today you'll hear from two college students whose moms were influenced by Jillian Michaels and the continued impacts on their physical and mental health. You'll also hear a dietitian's path to her career via an almond mom and doing a workplace weight loss challenge before recognizing the harm of anti-fatness in our culture and our field.

Jessica shares an anonymous voicemail she received from a Jillian Michaels devotee and it's...a lot.
