This is Awkward with Virginia Sole-Smith

Listen Later

We've received so many questions about awkward/mean/offensive/weird things your coworkers have said and done... that we had to make a whole episode about just that. Virginia Sole-Smith, author of Fat Talk: Parenting in the Age of Diet Culture, joins host Anne Helen Petersen to help listeners figure out what to say, how to say it, and when to just go straight to HR.
