Jillian Michaels

I'm true to what is in my heart and I follow that North Star.

And I just know that if it's in my heart, it's in my heart for a reason.

Whether it's for somebody to hate me and explore that feeling of hate or whether it's to potentially inspire someone

To evolve in some aspect of their life or to better understand somebody that they don't agree with or to be totally irrelevant to their world.

I don't really have any focus on the external world in that way.

Honestly, my inner monologue is just very rooted in speaking what is true to me.

and trying to listen and gain differing perspectives on what's true for other people.

And I know I'm externalizing this, but unfortunately with everything I do, it comes from something I'm passionate about.

So for example, if I'm talking about a controversial issue like the transing of children,

Marcy may passionately disagree with me about that, but it's because for me, I'm like, this is insane.

This has to stop.

I have to say something.

And she might feel like, oh my God, I totally disagree.

And Jillian's oppressing these children.

This is insane.

And I have to say something.

Uh, so I think that's really where, I mean, my inner dialogue honestly is just looking at the world and feeling like I have to fight a good fight and it's not a tribal fight for me.

I'm targeting what I perceive to be as bad ideas, no matter what side of the aisle they're on.

So while the show is that I work on is political, it's really about for me principles.

And I'm not saying I'm right.
