Summary

Jenn Lyon (Claws, Justified) sits down with Bridget to discuss her path to acting, how being a preacher's daughter always made her feel like public property, getting kicked out of the first college she went to, her battle with an eating disorder, why she finally sought treatment, and her fear that being healthy would impede her ability to ever book another job. They discuss her role on Claws, why it's the best job she's ever had, why she embraces body neutrality over body positivity, their issues with intimacy, anxiety as a habit, how social media engenders despair, womens' universal struggle with shame and their bodies, and why we are terrible predictors of our own happiness and success.
