Synopsis:
Danielle and Cori are joined by guest, Cassandra Bodzak, an actor, author, and mindfulness speaker, to break down how body image still plays such a big role in the arts and entertainment industry for female identifying artists. They chat about how body image was discussed during their training days, how things are slowly starting to change over time, as well as regale their own personal experiences. They finish off by discussing ways actors can empower themselves to make sure they are going out for roles they would like to see themselves as, not just what the industry dictates to them.

Notes on this Episode:
In this podcast we use the term “female-identifying”, however, sometimes we do just say the word “women”, by which we mean it inclusively as anyone who identifies as female. We will continue to do our best throughout this podcast series to use the proper terminology and educate ourselves as preferred syntax continues to evolve.
Please note guests' opinions are their own and do not necessarily reflect that of Via Brooklyn and "Still...?!” The Podcast.
