We've been making some big decisions this week. Juggling so many things, it's been so important to step back and consider the best way to move forward. Often times it's so easy to get wrapped up in the chaos, and not realize that fatigue and burnout has taken over. As parents and professionals we can spread ourselves too thin, and not realize we're giving 5% of ourselves to 100 things instead of focusing on doing a few things amazingly well. We think it's important for everyone to read those signs, and take a break when self care and time to refocus is needed. Rearranging thoughts, and taking time consider next steps is a much needed step.

We love you all, and appreciate your support so much!

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.

In this episode of What the Actual Fork, Sam is joined by the incredible Rennie Dyball–author, mother, and passionate advocate for body acceptance–for a heartfelt and deeply honest conversation about healing, movement, and parenting with intention.

Rennie shares how her relationship with movement has transformed alongside her journey to make peace with food and her body. She reflects on the challenges of unlearning diet culture’s grip on exercise and how she’s reclaimed movement as something joyful and empowering, rather than punishing or obligatory.

The conversation also explores the powerful inspiration behind Rennie’s children’s book, B is for Bellies: A Celebration of Every Body. Written in response to a real-life moment with her daughter, the book weaves body-positive messaging into the ABCs in a way that’s as meaningful for grown-ups as it is for kids.

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.
