Alexandra Jamieson is the best-selling author of Women, Food & Desire and she was also co-creator and co-star of the Oscar-nominated documentary Super Size Me…
She’s a highly-sought-after wellness expert for thousands, and has made it her mission to empower women to create epic lives–by honoring their cravings and kicking body shame to the curb.
Alex is the creator of Her Rules Radio, a #1 rated podcast on iTunes where she talks about wellness, cravings, sexuality, and more.
As far as media…where hasn’t this woman been featured…Oprah, The Today Show, Dr. Oz, Goop, Martha Stewart Living, the New York Times…the list goes on…
In this interview we talk about:
- How an unbelievably successful documentary translated into early success in the first decade of her career
- In a career that began by opening up her whole life to the public, how she figures out what to share and how to be supportive through her story
- The importance of the question “What do you want?” and the liberation that comes with that
- How defining ourselves as any one thing (she was a vegan who needed to turn to animal products to heal after two years of being ill) makes it harder to change…again we turn to this recurring theme of the inevitability of evolution
- How she dealt with negative criticism online and the crisis of identity that came with “changing” in public
- Her book publishing journey and the alliances and marketing plans she’s had to create to entice publishers and make them believe her book is a good investment
- What it’s like to get the call that you’re going to be on Oprah, to The Today Show, or Dr. Oz…and the KEY to landing these big opportunities
- The story of her Oscar dress and why she knew she finally had to get rid of it
