About this episode
In this week’s episode, Tay is joined by actress, activist, and podcast host Jameela Jamil for another girl-talk conversation! Jameela starts off by sharing how she got her start as a professional DJ before landing her first-ever scripted role on NBC’s The Good Place. She talks about the adjustment to being in the spotlight, how she’s managed to stay grounded despite the pressure to change in the entertainment industry, and gets candid about her experiences with cancel culture, body image struggles, and her past battles with disordered eating and anorexia. She opens up about what healing has looked like for her—including her journey with therapy and EMDR—and how those experiences inspired her to launch Move For Your Mind, a mental health movement focused on making exercise more accessible and less image-driven. Jameela also dives into the idea behind her new podcast Wrong Turns, why she believes in sharing our most cringeworthy mistakes, and how creating space for imperfection can be deeply therapeutic. Plus, she reflects on a wrong turn of her own and what she’s most proud of today!Be sure to follow Jameela on https://instagram.com/jameelajamil/!Listen and watch Jameela’s podcast “Wrong Turns”: https://open.spotify.com/show/48QtcFDDyQzKIc4B0fo4V7?si=ab0342bc3cd74791https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/wrong-turns-with-jameela-jamil/id1498855031https://youtube.com/@jameelajamil?si=8MMPKVggAxU5FWViCheck out Move For Your Mind here: https://instagram.com/moveforyourmind/To email us your questions or share your story, you can reach out to lautner.thesqueezepodcast@gmail.comBe sure to rate, review, and follow the podcast so you don't miss an episode!
