Are our jobs in danger due to AI? In this week’s episode, I talk about how advances in technology like ChatGPT can have a positive positive impact in our lives for the better but may also hurt our careers and the impact it may have on future generations.
It seemed for a period of time at least, we as a society were finally realizing the importance of accepting all types of bodies. But was this all one big lie? This leads me to ask myself: Is the body positivity movement one big propaganda tool? In this week’s episode, I discuss the popularity of weight loss drugs such as Ozempic, and fad diets/supplements on social media and why I believe that we are lying to ourselves in thinking that we as a society embrace body positivity when we don’t.
