212. Women's Bodies! Landmines! Epstein!

Nancy and Sarah grab third rails in a chat about Jennifer Love Hewitt, Lena Dunham, SkinnyTok, and the challenge of finding peace in your own body. Also: Bullish on Jeffrey Epstein conspiracies

Nancy and Sarah are stumbling into land mines — quickly! — in this episode, where a convo about Jennifer Love Hewitt’s recent turn in the spotlight proves the ladies don’t even agree on that. It’s hard to talk about women and their bodies: Fat vs. curvy, skinny vs. anorexic, body positive vs. morbidly obese, Ozempic-face vs. mom-bod, Lena Dunham vs. #SkinnyTok. How the ladies discuss these subjects may offend some people (warning: a lot of boob talk), but maybe it’s time to stop taking such easy offense on a vital and complicated subject. As Sarah says, “It’s a weird time to have a body.”
