The chapter explores the guest's reflections on beauty standards, misogyny, and societal conditioning faced by women, emphasizing the importance of embracing personal preferences and shedding the toxic mindset of rivalry. They discuss their career struggles with self-worth, validation, and the impact of misogynistic environments, highlighting the internal battle of wanting attention while grappling with external perceptions. The conversation also touches on the significance of the film 'Obvious Child' in challenging societal norms on abortion and reflects on experiences of not fitting into industry cultures, frustrations with sexism, and the importance of self-acceptance and valuing oneself beyond romantic relationships.
From beloved, unconventional, often hilarious roles as "Marcel the Shell," Mona Lisa Saperstein on "Parks & Recreation," or Donna Stern in the indie hit, "Obvious Child," actor, writer, and comedian Jenny Slate can definitely make you think as much as she makes us laugh. Tune in to this week’s episode of UnStyled where Jenny shares a different side of the funny woman we've seen before—from breakups that have shaped her, her exit from SNL, her writing (she has a new collection of essays hitting in the fall), and the critical way she's learning to "hold on" and thrive through it all.
