This week, Jenna shares two moments that hit hard—one at the ice cream shop, the other at the playground—each a powerful reminder of how early kids start absorbing messages about bodies, belonging, and self-worth. We talk about how these moments unfold in everyday life, how to help kids feel safe and seen, and why the way we talk to them (and around them) really does matter.Listen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.comHero Bread is offering 10% off your order.

The Remi Bader Conversation: Choice, Change, and Nuance
Sam and Jenna are diving into the Remi Bader controversy, unpacking the context and complexities of this deeply nuanced conversation. No one—Remi included—owes anyone an explanation for their personal choices, but it’s also fair to acknowledge the tricky dynamics when someone with a platform built on sharing their experiences in a larger body makes a big change. The discussion also unpacks the dangers of equating weight and mental health, emphasizing that true well-being goes beyond the number on the scale.Listen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.comWhat The Actual Fork https://www.instagram.com/whattheactualforkpod/Sammy Previte https://www.instagram.com/find.food.freedom/Jenna Werner https://www.instagram.com/happystronghealthy.rd/
