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! https://www.happystronghealthyrd.com/ https://find-foodfreedom.com/ Listen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.com What The Actual Fork's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/whattheactualforkpod/ Sammy Previte's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/find.food.freedom/ Jenna Werner's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/happystronghealthy.rd/

Rennie Dyball on Making Peace with Movement
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.
