Speaker 1: Hi. I'm Ali Wentworth, best selling author, actor, host, mother
Speaker 1: and Zoloft consumer. In my new podcast, Go Ask Ali,
Speaker 1: I'm really taking a look at life. Look. I wasn't
Speaker 1: around for the Spanish flu, but it seems that since
Speaker 1: this pandemic there's a new normal. So I'm asking the
Speaker 1: question in two parts, how do you grow a teenager
Speaker 1: in a pandemic? And how do you grow a relationship
Speaker 1: in the pandemic. We'll be tackling such subjects as the
Speaker 1: sexualization of girls in the Internet. From movie star model Brookshields.
Speaker 1: I had a very strange, strange relationship with sexuality as
Speaker 1: a child. This is only a half hour podcast, Brooke
Speaker 1: and listen. How are we dealing with teenagers? And they're
Speaker 1: overwhelming anxiety and uncertainty about the future. Actually teenage years now.
Speaker 1: By the way, the National Academy of Science says it
Speaker 1: goes all the way up to age Wait a second,
Speaker 1: teenagers go to twenty five now? Got up, my man,
Speaker 1: it's for this. Let me be honest. I'm not a truthsayer,
Speaker 1: therapist or advice columnists. I'm not even particularly sage, but
Speaker 1: I do know a thing or two about a thing
Speaker 1: or two. This is not the image of you that
Speaker 1: should be out there. I say, when it comes to
Speaker 1: social media, what is the story that you're telling? Is
Speaker 1: your story that you care about social justice? Or is
Speaker 1: your story that you're sexy and you can bend your
Speaker 1: legs like that, which I think are probably better ways
Speaker 1: than I'm following you. I know what you're putting on
Speaker 1: your social because they're teenagers and they'll find ways around it.
Speaker 1: For whatever reason, people come to me for advice, probably
Speaker 1: because I act like I know what I'm talking about,
Speaker 1: or I'm married to a Rhodes scholar, and sometimes it
Speaker 1: falls on deaf ears and sometimes I get the response,
Speaker 1: stop you're annoying, but that's usually my children. So join
Speaker 1: me as I really dissect life in this new normal
Speaker 1: and try to figure out how to grow everything in
Speaker 1: a pandemic. All new episodes of Go Ask Gali release
Speaker 1: every Thursday. Listen to Go Ask Gali on the I
