  • Trusting the Village: Why It’s Okay to Step Away
    Jan 31 2025

    Sam and Jenna are diving into the anxieties of motherhood, especially the challenge of leaving your kids in someone else’s care for the first time. Why does it feel so hard to hand over control? How do we navigate the guilt of enjoying a break? And what can we do to remind ourselves that stepping away doesn’t mean stepping back from being a good mom? Plus, they’re breaking down why it’s okay to feel both relief and heartache when you finally take that step toward trusting others with your child. If you’ve ever found yourself second-guessing, overthinking, or feeling alone in these experiences, this episode is for you. Join Jenna and Sam as they embrace the duality of motherhood—the guilt and the gratification—and remind you that you're never alone on this journey.

    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.
