Customer Reviews
Jen is Trailblazing!
Great subject matter and content, relavent guests and always engaging in the hard conversations. get your scuba gear on for this cast, Jen dives deep!
Jen & Ragen break it down. So great.
This is such a fantastic episode (love all of the episodes) because it is not strictly for moms or people who want to be moms. Love Ragen's analogy of Galileo. I am an intense fan of both Jen and Ragen and this is the perfect pairing. Fat Liberation should be for EVERYONE. 5 stars and then some.
Such an amazing resource!!
Jenn is amazing and shares so much needed information for us plus size mamas. Almost everything out there on plus size pregnancy and birth is scary, Jenn and plus size birth is different! She gives us real information and real experiences so we know we aren’t alone and our bodies are capable of amazing things. This is exactly what we need to have in the world: wonderful people advocating for representation, access, and legitimate evidence based information instead of bias and fear tactics. Thank you Jenn!! Follow and listen to Jenn everywhere you can the podcast episodes are great, her website is amazing, and her social media is wonderful too! I really can’t say enough how much having Jenn and the resources she provides in my life has helped me to believe in my body’s ability to have a healthy baby and pregnancy and feel like I’m not alone.
Edited to add: As a nurse that works with pregnant parents, Jenn’s work and information she shares has been helpful to me for sharing with my patients and being able to point them to a reliable source for info on their plus size pregnancy 💜
