I Weigh - Natalie Portman

About this episode

This week, Jameela welcomes Academy Award winner Natalie Portman for a conversation about activism, motherhood, and her trailblazing career. The two discuss mental health and Natalie’s version of messy perfectionism, the important decisions she and her family made around her early acting work, and how she continues to buck the trend of Hollywood stereotypes. She shares with Jameela her social media guidelines as a parent and the sweet way her son inspired her to get involved in women’s sports entrepreneurship.
