140. Actress Michelle Meredith on the "Hollywood Body Idea" and Booking The Morning Show

From booking her first costar on Black-ish to Sorority Sister on Kappa Kappa Die (2020) to a recurring role on Apple TV's The Morning Show as Lindsey Sherman, Michelle is a rising star. Our paths have crossed before (Both her roommate AND her manager have been previous guests on the show!) and I absolutely love what she has to say about consistent good work paying off in the long run. With a film coming out later this year and a SAG Award Nomination under her belt, Michelle's journey is just beginning.
