Description: Susan Powter was everywhere in the ’90s — the shaved head, the voice, the phrase “Stop the Insanity.” She built a massive fitness empire and became a cultural force almost overnight… and then she disappeared.A new documentary, Stop the Insanity: Finding Susan Powter, finally asks the question so many people never did: what actually happened to her after the fame faded? When I watched it, I was stunned to learn where her life led — and I knew I needed to speak with her directly.Susan joins me for an honest, in-depth conversation about where she came from, how she rose to fame, what went wrong, and what her life looks like now. We break down the documentary everyone is talking about — and go deeper into the parts that weren’t shown.--- --- —VISIT OUR AMAZING SPONSORS!ROGERS HOOD APOTHECARYGo to rogershood.com and use code RACHEL at checkout for 10% OFF--- --- ---PLEASE LIKE, SHARE, SUBSCRIBE, AND GIVE US A 5-STAR REVIEW!:  ratethispodcast.com/missunderstood Become a Patreon Member: https://www.patreon.com/c/MissUnderstoodwithRachelUchitelShop Miss Understood Merch https://missumerch.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow Rachel on Instagram!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://www.instagram.com/racheluchitelnyc/?hl=enFollow Rachel on TikTok! https://www.tiktok.com/@itsracheluchitelExecutive Producer: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠George Carmona Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/miss-understood-with-rachel-uchitel/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
