Actress Lisa Linke on Diet Culture, Fatphobia in Entertainment and Healing Her Body Relationship Body Kindness

Actress and comedian Lisa Linke (Bless the Mess on ABC) joins me to talk about the intersections of diet culture and entertainment. We discuss how social media continues to help her on her relationship with her body. Plus she dishes on her podcast Go Help Yourself and a free way you can coax her into doing (legit) silly stuff on Instagram.
