Hello and welcome to another episode of I Wei with Jamina Jamil, a podcast against shame.

Happy New Year! I can't fucking believe it either. We're doing it again another year of life

as if we have even had a chance to catch our breath from the last

year or the last couple of years of true dumpster fire shit in hell.

But we're going to try. We're going to try our best. We're going to try we're going to try our best we're going to do it

together and I'm going to do my best to bring you uplifting content that makes you feel

hopefully empowered and and interested and just like you have a brief bit of escape from the world.

And I really feel, and I know that this is presumptuous of me, but I feel like I've nailed it this week.

I love fucking nailing my first episode of the year with the exact tone that I want to continue with

and I really feel like I did it and I love this

conversation so much it's so important and it's perfect for January because this is a time where

we are being shamed en mass about what we weigh and are we beach body ready and

are we eating too much we need to be very restrictive during January we're

going to be punished in January for everything we ate in December that we were already

being made to feel guilty about before December even arrived? Are we giving up all meat or

cheese or dairy or alcohol or are we going to exercise every day of the month?

It's a lot and it's not just diet, it's also fitness.

There's so much fitness pressure a lot of people just being like in January as of

January I'm gonna really get my shit together and I'm gonna get a fucking

ass that won't quit and we have all at some point I think been victim of this.

I like a New Year's resolution.

I like the energy and the forward moving momentum of a clean slate feeling.
