Natalie is joined by Susan Lieu to discuss what led her to writing her book, The Manicurist’s Daughter, and creating her one woman show, 140 LBS: How Beauty Killed My Mother. After Susan’s mother died of a complication during her tummy tuck surgery, Susan was left with a family that wanted to remain silent on her mother’s death and how her family was forever changed. Natalie and Susan will use examples from their own stories to talk about how misogyny affects their lives through beauty standards, shame surrounding big feelings and caring for one’s mental health, and how the broken medical system costs lives.
