Who You Callin’ Crazy?!

Welcome to our unique mental health podcast! Licensed therapist, Juliet Kuehnle, uses humor and real talk to dive into the stories of interesting people you (want to) know. Of course there will be therapy tips (because, let's be serious, we all need them!), but mostly these conversations are a glimpse into the vulnerability of the people you might think "have it all together." We want to elevate and normalize the dialogue around mental health and erase the stigma so we can all own our humanness and maybe even proudly claim, "Yep, I go to therapy!"

Talking to Kids About Body Image - Rennie Dyball (Author)

November 21, 2023 • Juliet Kuehnle • Season 3 • Episode 5

In this episode of "Who You Callin' Crazy?!" Juliet Kuehnle interviews Rennie Dyball, an
author and editor. Rennie shares about her journey from ghostwriting celebrity memoirs to authoring several books. Her latest is her picture book debut entitled: B Is For Bellies, a celebration of every body. So, of course, much of their conversation centers around body image -- for us adults and how we can help influence that of our children.

Juliet and Rennie also discuss the importance of storytelling and the joy of finding one's niche. Together they explore some of the impactful topics covered in Rennie’s books, as well as the books that have impacted her; from topics including ADHD to body image.
