Show Notes
This week, Sami and Aleen are joined by a very special guest, the creator of the Apple TV+ series, Physical, Annie Weisman. They discuss how female bodies were portrayed in the 70’s and 80’s, wanting to show what it’s truly like inside the head of someone who’s struggling with an eating disorder, and the symptoms of eating disorders. They also discuss the criticism behind creating a show like this, the vulnerability and embarrassment behind telling the truth to secrets you’ve been keeping for so long, and what’s at stake with revealing who you really are. Lastly, they discuss Annie’s intention behind creating a show like this and how diet culture has changed since the 80’s.
