I Weigh - Joanne McNally - LIVE

Earwolf & Jameela Jamil
About this episode

Live from London! Jameela welcomes the hilarious Joanne McNally (My Therapist Ghosted Me Podcast) for a live event - recorded from Kings Place during the 2024 London Podcast Festival. Jameela & Joanne talk through how eating disorders were hyper-normalized in their respective childhoods and families, what steps Joanne’s taken in adulthood to improve her mental health, and how to find value beyond your physical appearance. Joanne also shares about growing up feeling different knowing she was adopted, how her eating disorder recovery sparked her career in comedy, and how laughter is one of the best ways to release tension. You’ll hear Q&A from the London crowd and lots more.
