If you find yourself cutting out foods from your diet that you love because family members don't share that love, this episode is for you!  I go into three really important reasons why this really doesn't help anyone.  And this is especially important if you have a picky eater in your family!  
It's time to shift that narrative that we're here to serve our families and that we can put our enjoyment on the back burner.   Your joy matters.  ❤️

Do you usually just take a bite of food without considering the transition to eating? 
Join me as I share exactly what I do before each meal and why it's so important!  Ritual is essential when it comes to food if we want it to feel embodied, connected, and joyful.  Try this practice on and see how it transforms your mealtime!  I also hope you love the analogy I share in this episode.

Embracing springtime food

Monday Apr 29, 2024

Monday Apr 29, 2024

We are in the height of Springtime seasonal transition right now in the northern hemisphere and this window provides such a beautiful way to connect differently with food. 
In today's episode I walk you through how to connect with this energy, what to try out that's specific to Spring, and the ways it can totally break down the monotony of food.  We are cyclical beings and leaning into the changing seasons brings a feeling of rebirth, newness, and joy.

Food preferences change

Monday Apr 22, 2024

Monday Apr 22, 2024

In today's episode I walk you through a new paradigm around, what's often labeled as, "picky eating."  Preferences change throughout our lives and certainly for our growing kids.  I promise that, for most kids, you don't need to do the guessing game dance every day around what they may eat or just serve the same "safe foods" (not a fan of that term) daily.  There's another way that's actually way more sustainable, more joyful, and supports your kids long-term. 
Stay till the end for a very sweet and special cameo!
