In this important episode of "Awkward Conversations," timed before the holidays, a peak time for body image discussions, hosts Jodie Sweetin and Amy McCarthy tackle the complex intersection of body image issues and substance misuse in young people.
Joined by pioneering activist and media literacy expert Dr. Jean Kilbourne, they explore how body image struggles can lead to substance use, particularly in today’s culture of idealized media and social pressure. With insights from Dr. Kilbourne’s extensive research and advocacy, this episode dives deep into practical strategies for promoting development of a healthy self-image and resilience against harmful influences.
