Andrea sat down with her in Kelowna right at the end of the tour for her new cookbook, Fraiche and Simple, to talk about the question every busy parent hears around 5:30 PM: what's for dinner? They get into why that question feels so heavy, what a dietitian really thinks about packaged snacks and takeout pizza night, whether AI belongs in your kitchen, and how Tori went from 16 years in a "really good job" to building something of her own.**In this episode, we cover: (00:00) Intro(04:23) From dietitian to "what am I doing with my life?"(06:03) A business that folded, and the start of the blog(10:10) Cookbooks and legacy(13:59) How 100+ recipes get developed and tested(16:01) AI recipes and what we shouldn't outsource(19:05) Taking the friction out of "what's for dinner?"(28:49) The 15-minute weekly habit, and feeding yourself too(30:55) Food ruts, variety and "the poison is in the dose"(32:23) Mom guilt, packaged snacks and pattern over plate(34:53) Fed is best(35:52) Extra kids at the table and no short-order cooking(38:19) Hosting when your house isn't perfect(41:11) A digital kitchen assistant for holiday hosting(42:40) Accidentally owning a software company(45:31) What's next(49:37) Letting go of all-or-nothing thinkingKEY TAKEAWAY Simplify everything that comes before the cooking: decide what's for dinner once a week, get the grocery list sorted, and share it.

And at one point, it became one of our most-listened-to episodes ever, and now Scotty is back to take back the first place! In this episode, Andrea and Scotty get into how he's rebuilt a rhythm across work, health and family, what it's really like being married to your total opposite, why a cardiac patient on blood thinners ended up in a boxing gym, and what each of them is still trying to figure out.

    155. How to raise body neutral kids in a diet-culture world — Penny Greening

    DISCLAIMER: this episode discusses disordered eating, eating disorders, and body image in depth. If that's not what you need today, we'll see you on the next one — and if you or someone you love is struggling, Reframe Voices Society (reframevoices.ca) and NEDIC, the National Eating Disorder Information Centre (nedic.ca), are great places to start. Penny Greening is the founder and executive director of Reframe Voices Society — a creative brand strategist, former communications agency director, and community mental health advocate whose own life has moved through corporate marketing, bodybuilding, motherhood, and, eventually, building a nonprofit from scratch. Andrea and Penny chat about what an eating disorder is (guess what? 2 definitions!), why the word "fat" needs to be defused instead of avoided, and what body neutral parenting actually looks like in a house that isn't getting it perfect at every meal. ** In this episode, we cover: (00:00) Intro(01:12) Who is Penny Greening today?(05:14) Andrea visiting a friend in the hospital with anorexia(05:32) Two definitions of an eating disorder, and "the monster"(08:19) Atypical anorexia, and a new word: "cachectic"(13:25) Healthism, and the culture that rewards it(15:09) The postpartum relapse, and the line a doc said after delivery(18:47) The four C's of eating disorders(22:29) Weight stigma and the word "fat"(33:51) Is it ok to praised a finished plate?(39:57) Adolescence — what to watch for between ages 8 and 14(44:14) A message to parents managing their own eating disorder while raising kids(46:36) Why "she's getting thinner" isn't a diagnosis(50:47) Eating disorders don't discriminate — and it happens to men too(52:07) Should this be proactive, or do you wait for your kid to bring it up?KEY TAKEAWAY There's no moral value attached to fat, skinny, big, small — it just is. Body neutral parenting comes down to the words already happening in your kitchen, and whether they let food and bodies stay that neutral, or start turning them into something to be earned or ashamed of. About Penny Greening Penny Greening is a creative brand strategist, former communications agency director, community mental health advocate and nonprofit founder whose work sits at the intersection of education and social impact. Once the Director of Marketing for Innovative Fitness, she helped shape a whole-person approach to selling healthy habits for life, while raising her daughter. A fifth-term board member with Variety - The Children’s Charity of BC, Penny founded BC-nonprofit Reframe Voices Society in 2025, after recognizing a critical gap in the public awareness of how and when eating disorders truly begin. Today, she leads a multidisciplinary team of volunteers equipping parents and guardians of school-aged children and teens, with the language and practical tools they need to protect their child against eating disorders when it comes to food, feelings and body talk.

    154. Why "how was your day?" is the wrong question to ask after school

    Sandy Ewert spent a decade in the classroom before she became a school counsellor and, eventually, a private-practice family and child therapist. She's coached hundreds of kids through the exact thing every family is living through right now — and this September, for the first time, she's doing it as a parent herself, with a son about to start kindergarten and a six-month-old at home. In this episode, we get into what actually helps a kid get through a hard transition, what a school counsellor really does all day, and the honest answer to whether "knowing too much" makes the back-to-school season any easier. In this episode, we cover: (00:00) Intro(01:52) Sandy's path: a decade as a teacher, now a school counsellor and private-practice family therapist(03:37) Coming at back-to-school as a parent, not just a professional, for the first time(08:10) What a school counsellor actually does (and why the job is "on fire on roller skates")(12:35) When "good enough" isn't good enough — advocating for kids who look fine on paper(16:14) "Tell me more": a phrase that actually gets a kid talking(25:44) Building a family toolkit that's dependent on your specific kid(27:02) The "yellow zone" — catching dysregulation before the meltdown(27:40) The "dress rehearsal": practicing for the first day, and why preparation is the antidote to anxiety(35:14) After-school reconnection, and why "how was your day?" is the wrong opener(37:29) The blood sugar rule every parent needs before pickup(38:29) Movement and reading what a kid actually needs(47:48) Letting kids struggle enough to feel capable, without over-parenting(54:56) The signs it's time to bring in a family counsellor(01:04:53) What is Sandy trying to figure outKEY TAKEAWAY Preparation is the antidote to anxiety — rehearse the hard transition before it happens instead of hoping you survive it. When the big feelings show up anyway, meet them with connection, not another question. About Sandy Ewert Sandy has spent nearly two decades supporting children and families first as a teacher and now as a counsellor both in private practice and within the school system. During her time in education, she has spent time in a variety of roles including specialized behaviour support program teacher, special education teacher and currently school counsellor. Sandy is most passionate and ignited by walking along side children in finding their voice and living life as their most authentic and best lives. She describes her work in private practice as a “Children’s life coach.” Sandy believes that her purpose is to be a conduit between adults and children, helping adults to better understand each individual child for who they truly are without the desire to change them. 💌 email Sandy: Sandyewertcounselling@gmail.com About Andrea Barr, host of All Figured Out: Andrea is a certified career and life coach for parents.

She didn't plan any of it — she once thought she'd become a conventional doctor, then spent seven years as a lawyer instead, before a decision at 32 sent her back to school to become a naturopathic doctor. What she didn't plan for was how much life would happen in the middle of that degree. In this episode, we get into the identity crisis of a total career pivot, what actually kept her going through the hardest years of school, her naturopathic take on skin health, and whether your workout might be doing more harm than good. In this episode, we cover: (00:00) Intro(01:18) Lawyer, naturopathic doctor, mom of 4, clinic owner, head of product at Maris Dae, founder of Parave(02:56) Back to the beginning — why she almost became a conventional doctor(03:02) Discovering naturopathic medicine in the early 2000s(05:04) Choosing law instead, and finding her way into health law(07:14) Going back to school at 32(08:11) The long nights: studying until 1am and nursing all night(08:42) The identity crisis of the career pivot — "who am I now?"(10:32) Was there ever a moment it felt too hard?(11:45) "I'm on the other side of the mountain" — what kept her going(12:22) Life now: running her own practice and practicing law, simultaneously(14:55) Advice for anyone sitting on a decision they haven't made yet(16:44) How joining Maris Dae actually happened(18:41) Skin is the largest organ — what that actually means for your health(19:35) Sarah's approach to skin: internal first, external second(20:54) Why skin is having such a cultural moment right now(24:07) Redefining self-care in 2- and 5-minute increments(26:06) Can a workout be too intense?(28:38) The "bubbling pot" — and the one question to ask before saying yes to anything(31:12) Who wearable data actually helps — and who it doesn't(35:50) What Sarah is still figuring out: ambition vs. being present for her kids(36:41) Self-care as the non-negotiable foundation everything else depends on(38:36) Where to find Dr. Sarah Harbottle KEY TAKEAWAY When the question in front of you is "can I do this right now?" — make the decision.

    152. She pitched investors 38 weeks pregnant — Sam Rayner

    🛍️ USE CODE ALLFIGUREDOUT20 TO GET 20% OFF AT marisdae.com Sam Rayner spent over a decade climbing the corporate marketing ladder — AG Hair, Lululemon, an MBA, a job offer from a massive global conglomerate she turned down on gut instinct alone. Then life did what life does: both her parents died of cancer within a short window of each other and she went through multiple failed rounds of IVF. Somewhere along the way, her mom’s words became her mantra — “you need to live life harder”, which led Sam to build Better Basics and now her new brand, Maris Dae, a marine-hydration skincare line built around a proprietary seaweed extract sourced and processed entirely in BC. In this episode, we cover: (00:00) Intro(03:48) Corporate girly Sam — her marketing career(05:44) Turning down a massive global job offer on gut instinct alone(09:37) "My break will be maternity leave" — and when that plan didn't pan out(13:53) Her mom's dying words: "you need to live life harder"(15:50) How she was able to have her two kids(20:03) Losing both parents to cancer — and what that taught her about control(20:55) Where the idea for Better Basics came from(25:14) Growing Better Basics for three years(25:53) "We were basically bleeding cash"(26:44) Investor pitches, and doing it all in her third trimester(30:13) Calling it a pause — and selling out in 30 days(31:54) Teaching product design and brand strategy at SFU(36:26) The 35 customer interviews that led to Maris Dae(38:27) Finding a seaweed farmer and building the Maris Element(44:57) Inside the body wash + body serum(50:57) What's next: gut-health supplements and a gentler kids' formula(54:04) Competitors, community, and why she's not trying to own the whole shelf(58:00) Her advice for living life harder(1:01:05) Where to find Maris Dae KEY TAKEAWAY Closing something isn't the same as failing at it. Sam built Better Basics with everything she had, and when it stopped making sense, she shared with her community, gave herself a deadline and called it a pause instead of an ending. And her fertility journey took some extra love as well. A failure means the book is closed, but a pause means the door stays cracked open ready for a different path life will take. About Sam Rayner Samantha Rayner is the Founder and CEO of Maris Dae, a science-backed skin and gut health brand powered by BC sea algae. After two decades in beauty and wellness brand leadership, she partnered with a biochemist and naturopathic doctor to develop the Maris Element, an exclusive extract of Mazzaella Japonica and bull kelp sourced from Vancouver Island. Maris Dae's debut body care line launched in May 2026 and sold out twice.
