The Dark Reality of Skinny Privilege w/ Nava Kavelin

When Nava Kavelin (host of Podcrushed) lost weight at 16, the world treated her differently. She went from invisible to having 10 boys pursue her overnight. She joins Nicole to unpack the dark reality of skinny privilege and the complicated resentment of finally being visible to people who used to look right through her. They discuss why reciprocity is non-negotiable, the pain of uncommitted relationships, and how soap operas like Passions trained them to chase unavailable men. Plus, Nava reveals shocking UN research on how media impacts young girls of color and how unchecked access to explicit online content is normalizing violence for teenagers. Meanwhile, Nicole recounts the wild, questionable routine she saw at Criss Angel's Las Vegas show. Heads up: This episode contains spoilers for Netflix's You.
