It’s Valentine’s Day, and we’re bringing back one of our favorite guests, Bri Campos, to talk all things dating, intimacy, and body image. Bri is a licensed mental health counselor and body image coach specializing in body grief and self-acceptance. In this conversation, she and Sam get real about the challenges of dating while navigating body image struggles, the vulnerability of intimacy, and how to cultivate deeper connections—both with others and with ourselves.

Bri shares both personal and professional insights, emphasizing the importance of self-acceptance and viewing each experience as an opportunity to learn and grow. This episode offers practical advice for anyone navigating dating and intimacy while confronting internalized beliefs and societal biases about body size.

Whether you’re single, partnered, or somewhere in between, this episode is a reminder that love—both for yourself and from others—doesn’t require changing your body. It requires showing up as you are.

In this episode of What The Actual Fork Sam and Jenna explore why it's so important to start conversations about bodies early—teaching kids that all bodies are good (and cool!). They also discuss the push for “fat” to be seen as a neutral descriptor and why the stigma and negative connotations around the word still slow down this important shift.
