Episode notes

Jameela Jamil may as well be Aussie, she feels like one of us—funny, unfiltered, and refreshingly nonchalant.

You might know her as Tahani from The Good Place, but these days she’s just as well known for her fearless activism on body image, mental health, and gender equality.

What you'll hear in this conversation:

Why she refuses to give men like Andrew Tate airtime
Her call to rethink the way we talk about masculinity
The link between friendship and mental health
Why she’s counting down to turning 40
And how she’s learnt to appreciate aging, change, and letting go of the pressure to please.

Jameela doesn’t hold back—and thank god. This episode is for anyone who’s ever felt like they didn’t quite fit the mold, who’s had a complicated relationship with their body or their mind, or who simply wants to hear a refreshingly honest take on what it means to be a woman right now

Jameela is currently touring the country, if you would like learn more and get tickets, follow the link here.
