<h2><strong>Summary</strong></h2><p><br></p><p>In this episode, Big Mama talks about spotting when big organizations (like schools) say one thing but do another—like throwing a school health fair and then bringing in a cupcake truck. She shares funny personal stories (including her own “weird superpower”) and gives real-life examples from schools, colleges, and more. Teens get&nbsp;an easy 3-step plan for teens to speak truth to authority, respectfully and in a way to make change happen. And just to keep it real, she ends by sharing her own biggest contradiction -&nbsp;it’s a story of woe involving hugging cows and eating lunch.&nbsp;</p><br><p><br></p><br><p><br></p><h2><br></h2><h2><strong>Timestamp Highlights</strong></h2><p><br></p><p>00:00&nbsp;Big Mama introduces the idea of “institutional hypocrisy” — when an organization says one thing but does another — and shares her “garbage superpower”</p><p>02:00 Funny sixth-grade story: a health teacher warns kids about smoking… while sneaking smoke breaks behind the school dumpsters.</p><p>3:59&nbsp;The Health &amp; Wellness Day gig — great activities like cooking classes and goat yoga… but then the principal makes an announcement</p><p>7:11&nbsp;Why the cupcake truck matters: how it works against the school’s own goal of promoting good nutrition.</p><p>8:45 Why Big Mama’s House Podcast doesn’t use social media to promote the podcast, even though it’s meant for a teen audience</p><p>9:27&nbsp;Other real-world examples: schools closing libraries, colleges partnering with betting apps, and hospitals stocking vending machines with junk food.</p><p>10:46&nbsp;The social media hypocrisy: schools warning about screen time while using social media to promote events.</p><p>11:22 Why this kind of hypocrisy is dangerous — how people either don’t notice at all or notice and lose trust in the organization.</p><p>13:00&nbsp;Big Mama’s 3-step method for respectfully pointing out contradictions.</p><p>14:12 Her personal confession: Penelope the Cow</p><p>15:30 Send in your examples of organizational hypocrisy and what you did about it to <a href="mailto:[email protected]" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">[email protected]</a>.&nbsp;</p><p>Remember: “Eat more dirt and avoid moist dudes in basements.”</p><br><p><br></p><p><br></p><h2><br></h2><h2><strong>Resources</strong></h2><p><br></p><p>Do you think you might have body dysmorphia?
