I’m a trauma survivor from a very early age and have been surrounded by death, abuse, and abandonment for much of my life. Through hosting the stories of other survivors, I’ve come to realize that, with work, there’s a way out.

Diane Neal — best known for her roles as Casey Novak in Law & Order: SVU and Abigail Borin on NCIS: New Orleans — joins Meghan for a lively conversation with some seriously funny moments and a lot of insight into some seriously important topics. The two take on the stigma of the average American woman’s body in the entertainment industry, and the damaging effects of judging our self-worth on our body image.
They also discuss what it was like for Diane to be on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, and why she left.
If you’ve never heard Diane speak before, you’ll love her boring and lifeless (read: charming and hilarious) personality. She’s no ordinary actress and this interview showcases her prowess when it comes to comedy and wit.
