This was a phenomenal interview with a phenomenal woman! I love how she broke down "British etiquette" being a brit myself I actually never thought about it like that! I know she said she's agnostic but I see God all over her life, from being deaf to the cancer scare, there's a reason you're here Jameela and I thank God for your life and your life's work/purpose
Glad you enjoyed this episode, Breeny!
Breeny Lee Amen!! I see God working through her life. She is an inspiration. Great podcast, so thought provoking and empowering!!
PLEASE DONT ATRIBUTE YOUR OWN EXPERIENCE OF LIFE TO SOMEONE ELSES,YOU ARE DEMEANING HER STORY.JUST IMAGINE IF YOU SAID OH GOD HELPED ME IN THIS AND THIS AND THEN SOMEONE ELSE CAME AND SAID,THAT IS TOTALY NOT REAL,IT WAS JUST CIRCUMSTANCE.
@bye girl what does that have to do with her being agnostic or this woman commenting that yeah there is God but jameela is clearly not good enough to see that in her life? And about caps....has it ever crossed your mind that maybe I'm visually impaired and I was writing from a medium where I couldn't see correctly what I was writing unless I made all the letters capital!? Not everyone is gifted with great sight or had all the mediums they need at all times...how judgemental was that!? Anyways have a great day and I hope you never stop learning about your own experience .
Yes yes!!!
"Do everything to ensure your mental health. That is your number one priority."
“I’m afraid of having children - I don’t know what I’m bringing them into” Jameela Jamil.
Thats so true!
Life is a gift, don't murder your own as she did.
I once felt that way until I had my first child and never looked back. A very precious, irreplaceable gift; and, now, I have two girls and they are literally everything to me. Choose life, always.
" I have murdered my shame"
She is such a bad arse! Love seeing this British Pakistani women rock:)
bye girl she said she has Pakistani parents at the beginning.
bye girl I thought she was half Indian too, but she said she was Pakistani in this video and didn’t mention being Indian, so I’m confused 🤔
Til ly No problem. Pakistan was carved out of India just about 70 years back.
@@rani1835 she is half indian, half pakistani, raised in Britain. She is basically ethnically ambiguous and i love that
@Tabo Beeran She’s a good soul and that’s what matters.
Oh my god, mad how audacious it sounds to hear a woman not self deprecate and just be unapologetic about wanting what she deserves! LOVE HER!!
Deserve's got nothing to do with it.
I work with Jameela on The Good Place and she is the real deal.
Chickfoodtv lucky you. She is so wonderful. Xvx
She truly is!
she's gross
I normally avoid celebrity's personal lives, most seem to be hypocrites. And to preserve my love for the characters I watch, I avoid ever knowing them as fellow humans. Hearing her here... 😍😍😍. Need more like her
@@talksolot Agree, this woman is proud of murdering her children and everyone praises her. Shame on them including Lewis.
"I don't feel shame anymore. I have murdered my shame". I'm only a few minutes into this interview and I already have chills!
🙏🏻 Glad you enjoyed the interview!
@@lewishowes 😊 I really loved this interview! Thank you for taking the time to respond and for sharing such inspiring conversations ❤️
You have to have shame in some things, but never let a person put
you down or degrade you.
i cried during this interview even though i haven't felt any emotion for months
Thank you to all the stay at home mothers who work all the time for no pay and do not have the support they deserve, and yet continue to work as volunteers in our communities!
"if you are grateful and content then they have no longer managed to control you"
This is my first exposure to this Beautiful, Energetic Being and I LOVE HER!!!!
My new SHero! 👑
Yes! Let's Go!
I strive to rid myself of shame just like her ♥
Appreciate you!
@@lewishowes ♥
She has an interview with Russel Brand about how she went through EMDR therapy and how it helped her. You should def check it out!
Shame is a quality that keeps us from being arrogant, ignorant twats, like Jameela Jamil.
“I’m not here to be anyone’s friend”
Girl, same! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Adaptability. Measured, focused aggression. Emotional intelligence. Compassion. The ability to incorporate trauma into her life story without being defined by it. Critical characteristics of a mentally healthy person. Great interview!
Thanks so much!
It's an interesting struggle finding ones self, one's own human identity and value, in the midst of an organically diverse and chaotic world. A requirement is the fortitude to show gratitude "for the ability" to rise above it all personally and individually while giving credit where credit is due, (in a world that the majority of men have built and in a culture that attempts to truly value and afford such freedoms overall) having respect for the conditions afforded to us may be hard to grasp with that finger wanting to blame another (their identity) for any "percieved" pitfalls. A business model that does function on human strengths and weaknesses - for every need, want and angst the model intends to satisfy that inflated and/or deflated human ego (whether right, wrong or indifferent). What doesn't kill us, makes us stronger. The struggle has always been an internal struggle - finding and fulfilling ones God given purpose "as a human being", who is divinely and uniquely created.
Generally, her opportunity came from her own effort to excel and from a man, in western culture, someone that saw her potential, encouraged her to take a chance, grow from the opportunity afforded, no matter the percieved flaws with what he, generally has built.(This is not intended to negate the role of all others as we play on this playground together).
The conditions that have worsened reality for teenagers is this attempt to thrust "even more" divisive buzz words that continually create conflict and confusion for maluable youth (for the sake of gaining a semblance of power with and by way of "identity" politics? - someone always loses in this psychological war game). The irony comes with a human being lacking humility, taking things for granted, while attempting to relinquish personal responsibility under false pretenses and a fake persona Generally speaking, you personally, are either a "positive creative force for the whole" or you are a thief in waiting. (The dilemma, the dance with good and evil that lay in human-kind).
This was such an open and honest interview. Jameela sheds light on a lot of issues that people of colour internalised and brought upon low self esteem. One point that really stood out was people bleaching themselves to look lighter and caucasian people tanning.. I once had youth leader say in front of me that she would never want to be as dark as me, but just a light tan. JUST IMAGINE how that could have impacted someone with mental health and personal issues. I was lucky that I had supportive parents and peers that helped me through such times. I honestly think that being different and being bullied is a blessing in disguise because it forces you to look inward and gather strength from aspects of yourself that are not worldly and based on superficial traits. I built confidence through myself, whereas a lot of people who 'fit' in with normal standards of beauty eventually have NO FOUNDATION of who they truly are. Whoops that was long! Love you Jameela!
Appreciate the feedback, Millie! Glad you enjoyed!
Wow! What a human! What a woman! What a great!
She is so extremely beautiful that it soars my eyes!!! But being so inteligent and at the same time humbling, she is such a role model not only for women of colour but each and every female
Authenticity makes you more courageous! 💪
Yes! Let's Go!
Thank you Jameela once again ❤
I absolutely love her. She seems like such a wonderful, beautiful, highly intelligent woman. I am so glad that women like her are showing the world how to represent their own culture. Fantastic interview Lewis! You are so good at creating a safe space for your guests
Appreciate you, Jennifer!
What a great , brilliant woman who has busted her shame!Thank you brave Jameela Jamil.Keep doing the powerfully liberating work you are doing.The reason women don't reveal their age id because of agism, the cultural shaming of growing old,the last social affront to women,who have been pummeled since birth that their self worth is linked to their youthful appearance. Age discrimination is real,especially towards women.
As a South Asian (Pakistani) I'm glad there's finally someone on TV I can relate to and look up to. Jameela Jamil is my role model - as an unapologetic, badass, an activist, cool, articulate, funny & intelligent woman! #girlcrush Love her message! Thank you for interviewing her Lewis ! Great interview!
As someone from the UK, with a similar back story to Jameela, I really resonate with this interview, thank you!
You are very welcome!
This interview is so REAL...Bravo to her for speaking her truth. Thank you!
Thank you Lewis for bringing Jameel Jamil to my attention. I don't do T.V., or much social media , just Instagram and youtube so I am very grateful to hear this woman of wisdom and authenticity. Every woman should hear her speak! In my many years on this planet, I experienced everything she spoke about and had to step back many times from discrimination against my very talents that were threating to men and even other women. Many of us are finally stepping up and realizing that it was our light that they were afraid of, but no longer.
I’m so happy that you have Jameela Jamil on here. She is such an inspirational woman!
Yes, she is! 💯
Jameela for president!! Love her sooo much!!
What an amazing woman! Great interview, loved it!!!
As a British person, I can totally relate to being given a compliment and then self-depracating as a response. Lack of self worth for sure, and I openly try to compliment others when I think something because I know how important it is to say nice things. We all spend too much time spreading negative energy and shame. This is a really insightful conversation, thank you for sharing!
Oh honey that's everywhere
she is a phenomenal human being, activist and businessperson
I was also watching all of those shows on TV while mainly socially isolated growing up. She’s an inspirational woman.
Jameela is such a smart, inspiring woman!! I loved this interview
Thanks so much!
This woman is AMAZING!! thanks for featuring her Lewis
What a great interview! I can totally relate with what Jameela says about the British culture. I always feel so restricted and limited here and I've noticed it more since travelling to California myself and seeing how open and supportive and encouraging people are!
Thanks so much!
13:00 "Men being threatened by an intelligent woman who is fun and outspoken." That's my life! You are amazing
“Trauma can hurt you but it can also really truly chisel you into something interesting and strong and durable”
I can relate to Jameela on so many levels, from her emotionally distraught childhood to being a person of colour in Britain-but still being able to focus on the good and persevering. Thank you for a refreshing perspective and for the encouragement!
Thank you thank you thank you!!!! We need more women like you! You are a role model to me as I have been learning to speak up for myself and others.... you are so strong!
Finally someone I feel like I can relate to! Her personality reminds me of so much of my own.
Appreciate you!
Yes!! More women like her in the media and less of the “Rear of the Year Award” stuff. Let’s not reduce women to objects. The value of women, her strength, wisdom, intelligence and heart is the greatest value.
Both kinds suck. Wisdom and intelligence are qualities that rarely exist among celebrities. If that's what you want, look elsewhere beyond the popular media.
Thank you for sharing wisdom with us and opening our eyes Jameela and Lewis ❤
So glad you enjoyed it! Appreciate you for watching.
Jameela Jamil speaks to my soul! I will now go and murder my shame!
Wow!! Awesome interview. He has done some great research on her, and didn't just ask relevant questions, but asked thought-provoking questions. Jameela's answers are so pure and honest. Good conversation!
Thank you for reminding me yet again to be authentic.
“If you turn all of this trauma that happened to you into something good and you help other people, then it will have been for something. So get up. Get out there. And go and help people.”
oh wow. Amazing. Such refreshingly honest, frank, powerful insights. I want to watch this a million times.
Thanks so much, Dusty!
This interview is an inspiration to me , the way she explains herself and shows the confidence on the screen, brings me encourage, excitement and strength to get on with the hustle of what it takes to be somebody in london.
Thanks guys
She is an amazing role model!
also thank you lewis for giving her this platform, and for you yourself being such an open-minded, kind and genuinely wonderful human
Yes, Brad! Real women love it when men show emotion!!
One of the greatest interviews I've watched on this channel. I can't help but keeping watching it again and again!
So happy you are enjoying the content. I would love for you to leave me a review here: podcastaddict.com/podcast/2508394 or at podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/id596047499
She is so spot on with Britain. I am South African living in Britain for the last 13 years and I can see how it's eroded my personality almost. You can't be outspoken (South Africans are it's in our DNA), you have to almost always apologise for everything and this brings on depression and anxiety. I have only realised this lately since I have been following Jameela. Love her she is an inspiration.
Good example for young women. I didn’t really know who she was but I love her so far!
She is an ICON!!!!
🧡
Thanks Lewis for inviting a British Pakistani woman to speak in your show. It's empowering to see someone who I look like representing a successful woman.
"i'm gona be a testicle who lived and laughed and loved"
Oh my God when she said she'd walk in front of that car again I fell in love. That is alot of compassion and empathy to have
Such eloquence! Jameela is absolutely brilliant and empowering. Loved this interview.
Thanks so much!
I was recently in Delhi. Definitely saw oodles of bleaching creams on the shelves of the pharmacies/chemists. It’s so sad, and a left over of colonial times.
Jeemela, kudos for you, for having transcended all the soul killing programming life brought in your formative years. 😁🥰 You rock, thank you for working to bring balance and female empowerment to our world.
Love speaking from the mind!! I hope this women continues to spread this word.
This was an exceptionally good interview. Lewis was respectful and engaged and asked thoughtful questions. Jameela has always been an inspiration but hearing her story for an hour made her even more so.
Love Love LOVE this Woman !!✌🏻Jameela Thank You for your Truth 💜🌹🥰
Wowwww... Lewis you rock like always..loved this episode.. And this woman is Fire!
Thanks so much, Shibani!
my eyes got teary when they talked about therapy
Stunning inside and out
god i love her. so so grateful for who she is, the messages she spreads, the person she is. thank you for making the world a better place
Extremely intelligent, articulate and with a good heart. Why can't someone like that be president or PM.... Think what the world would be like if all the leaders were intelligent and full of compassion for others.
I love her the more she speaks! And the questions were good too! Very good interview!
Loving Jameela in this video....she is so free. Along with Lewis’ expression and candour!
Thanks Lewis for her interview..🤗♥
She is an undaunting woman with indomitable will through journey she's travelling. 😀
Simply wow!!! I only knew her as the stunningly beautiful actress on The Good Place but after seeing her tweet about Kim Kardashian's makeup line I ended up here.
I am in awe of her self-awareness and empowerment. As an Asian American woman who was born in Australia and raised in the States, I identify with everything she said as a woman of color in western countries. She speaks so much truth to my soul. What an inspiration! I'm so glad you've shown yourself to the world, Jameela. 💜❤
the major take away is take care of your mental health and cuddle more. you will prevail.
Grateful for you, Salma!
Why does this world not have more ppl like her? She is beautiful inside and out! Absolutely well spoken and highly intelligent. A woman who not only knows exactly what she wants but how to achieve it.
"The greatest success in life IS happiness"
I truly wish it becomes hers❤
She is my Idol💞😍
I LOVE HER💜💜💜
She has a fantastic perspective on life and the industry. Good interview.
She is amazing, first time I’ve heard of her. How refreshing to see so much honesty.
“If you are grateful and content, then you have beat the system, and you will prevail. You aren’t just a pawn in the game of consumerism.” -Jameela Jamil
This is so powerful. 🙏🙏
Genuinely good people like her are so rare. I love her integrity. So much respect to her!
Jameela should share some book recommendations I would be so interested in reading them!!!
Ugh! THIS WOMAN 👑👸🏽
Never seen you laugh like that Lewis! Loved the interview with Jameela - she is a light!
I didn't know her before, I'm glad I watched this n actually I become so proud of myself every time I saw an inspiring woman like that, thank you so much😍✨🙏
Jameela, You are gorgeous !! Beautiful, intelligent, outspoken.. You have grown so strong.. “sila jest kobieta”
I would love to see a calm intellectual debate between Jameela and Jordan Peterson.
Fantastic interview , thank you for posting
The idea of self hatred wasting our time deliberately is soooooo true. Dang.
I could have listened to many more hours, well done! 👍🏽
I love her. Thank you sharing. Blessings
Thats my sister from across the pond right there!
No idea who you were, very glad to hear you!
Killing it ✔
Jameela I have your CD. Goodness she has been through such a lot and come out the other end with her voice more expansive communication. Wow. Adore this woman.
"Beast mode." I love that. I wish I hadn't waited until 60 to get into that mode myself, but all of the work, and therapy(!!!) has been worth it! I know things now! Heartened to hear this. She's spot on, although the "ball sack" analogy made me spit my coffee. :D Onward!
This was great, never expected to see Jameela on the show.
Yes!!! So excited this is your latest guest. F*ck yes. Great morning for me so far 💁🏻♀️
Absolutely WOW! She says it all, so well. Lewis, you asked the perfect questions. I love the way you responded to her sincerity and honesty. Jameela Jamil, you are a hero. The bull sack comment was extremely funny. I laughed, I cried, and even though I am not brown, I completely understood the body shame. I have been learning to accept beautiful brown isn't my birthright. I am honored by your expressions that put into words what I feel. I work daily to reconstruct myself using the techniques I learned in therapy and continue to invest in my growth. I felt validation, understanding, and hope listening to you. I am not "off" men but I am no longer believing that I need a relationship to be okay. I am growing into the person I want to be with and I have changed my battle of the sexes behavior into an acceptance of who I am. I am a twice widowed older woman who is far more comfortable wielding a chainsaw and using a log splitter than I am on a dance floor. Instead of feeling shame over my inadequacies I embrace my unique talents. Listening to you helps me shake off the shame I feel for using tools to enhance my life experience. I'm still giggling over the testicle comments. {Hugs to both of you}
I rarely enjoyed an interview so much! Really, really great content :) Intellectual, honest, vulnerable and fun - truly entertaining and educating!
Jameela Jamil beautiful woman, in and out..... thank you
Inspiring woman! Excellent interview 😊👍
Amazing interview, wasn't giving typical answers instead raw truth about what is happening.
The answer to "How do you murder your shame?" is: talk about your shame to someone you trust. That's the overall conclusion of shame-expert Brené Brown.
WinnersMakeNoExcuses Or get EMDR therapy!
This was such an empowering and inspiring interview! Love her! 🙌🏼💖
I love this interview 🙌🏽 Jameela has amazing insight and love how outspoken she is
