Sam's in the home stretch of pregnancy number 2! While we wait to meet her new little one, she and Jenna are sharing some practical ways you can show up for your pregnant friends. From meal trains, to gift cards, to putting in some time and elbow grease, to simply being a shoulder to lean on (maybe even literally), there are so many good ways you can support the people you love, no matter what stage of life you're in.

Once again, people who have no business giving medical advice are saying really concerning stuff on social media. We're talking specifically about a claim that it's totally fine to intentionally lose weight while pregnant, but this is also just a general discussion about the difference between sharing opinions and facts and why we need to be careful about the content we consume.

Jenna's recent social media post addressing weight-stigma and fatphobia is causing a stir on Instagram, but TikTok's reaction? Well, let's just say it's not exactly making waves. Sam couldn't even find it! It's like TikTok's hit the mute button on conversations challenging fatphobia and advocating for awareness about weight stigma. And that's before we even begin to break down the content of the video itself, which Sam and Jenna use as a jumping off point for a discussion about how folks in larger bodies get sidelined in so many ways, beyond just the obvious stuff. We close out by offering a few ways we can all challenge and reframe our own thinking around fatphobia and weight stigma.

In this episode, Jenna shares her postpartum experience four months after giving birth. She and Sam break down the challenges they've faced, including changes in sleep patterns, hair loss, and even a shift in the body's oil production (time to embrace the slicked-back pony). They also talk about the struggle of feeling alone in this phase of motherhood, the pressure to "bounce back," and the importance of letting go of unrealistic expectations. Jenna emphasizes the need to prioritize self-care and acknowledges the small victories, like eating, staying hydrated, and getting outside for fresh air. Overall, we encourage our listeners to embrace your current season of life and focus on what truly matters for your well-being.
