If you're a parent who's trying to do things differently around food… this episode is for you.

Whether you’re healing your own relationship with food or just trying not to pass on the food guilt and body shame you grew up with - you might be wondering:

How do I help my kids eat “healthy” without being controlling?
Should I be worried about sugar?
What if they’re super picky? Or only want snacks?
What if I’m still working on intuitive eating myself?

In this eye-opening episode, I sit down with Registered Dietitian Nicole Cruz, RD, who specializes in helping parents raise intuitive eaters and create peaceful, positive mealtime experiences , without pressure, guilt, or control.

We talk about:

The #1 mistake well-meaning parents make with food (and what to do instead)
How to handle sugar, snacks, and sweets without making kids obsess over them
What structure without control actually looks like at mealtimes
Powerful mindset shifts for picky eaters
Why pressuring your child to eat can backfire - even if it’s “just one bite”
How to model food and body neutrality… even if you’re still on your own journey

Whether you’re a parent now or hope to be one someday, this episode is full of supportive, shame-free wisdom to help you break the cycle - and raise confident, connected eaters.
