    EP208: Unpacking Bias - Fatphobia on Social Media

    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.Vinny Welsby’s Levels of Fatphobia PyramidJenna's video that sparked this conversationListen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.com/

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.

Fantastic Podcast

I appreciate the debunking of diet culture. It’s so toxic and for many years made me feel like I wasn’t a person worth being in certain spaces. Thanks.

Look forward to it every week

I really enjoy this podcast. Sammy and Jenna are very relatable, funny, real. Started listening for the intuitive eating content, and now as I’m entering motherhood myself, am finding their pregnancy/realities of being a mom content super enjoyable.

Disappointed

I enjoyed your podcast until today. You reviewed Oprah’s special without even watching it. You said they should have covered topics which they actually did - which you would have known if you had watched the program. You also mentioned the teens that were featured who were taking the medicines who were actually sick from their weight - and this has helped them when other options failed. There were also people featured who had terrible side effects. They also mentioned these medicines are to be used in conjunction with a health professional dietician. I feel like you pushed this episode out prematurely only to ride the coattails of the hype. You typically share researched topics, so this is surprising. Next time, do your homework first. I’d delete this episode, watch the show, and revisit your thoughts.
