Sam and Jenna recorded this episode a month ahead of Jenna's due date, and the two take some time to look back on how breaking free from diet culture helped them both be more present, appreciative parents. Jenna shares some tough but honest feelings that we know plenty of parents have felt, even if we're told we're not supposed to. Jenna also tells the story of why Sam says she's not allowed to watch her TV appearances anymore. Be forewarned, we know Halloween was a few days ago, but it's a bloody one.Listen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.comControl Body Odor ANYWHERE with @lumedeodorant and get $5 off off your Starter Pack (that’s over 40% off) with promo code FORK at lumepodcast.com! #lumepodTry AG1 and get a FREE 1-year supply of Vitamin D3K2 AND 5 free AG1 Travel Packs with your first purchase.
