IT’S A VERY HAPPY THURSDAY INDEED!!!!!

Today on the show, we bring the incredible Jameela Jamil (a woman who probably doesn’t need an introduction, but of course, we’ll give her one anyway). Jameela is a British actress, former radio host, writer, and activist who rose to global fame through her role as Tahani Al-Jamil on The Good Place. She is also the brainchild behind the I Weigh movement - a force of more than one million people who band together to challenge dangerous diet culture on platforms like Instagram.

In this chat, Jameela explains what it’s like going head-to-head with the Kardashians over laxative teas, as well as how she defines success.

Thank you so much to today’s sponsor, Andalou Naturals. Head here to find out more.

If you’d like to hear more from Jameela, which you no doubt 1000% do, check out the I Weigh movement on Instagram @i_weigh. And for her podcast, I Weigh with Jameela Jamil, head here.
