#127 - Please Don't Screw Up Our Kids! Part 2: A Conversation About Food, Weight and Body Image with Virginia Sole-Smith of Comfort Food Podcast

In this two-part episode, fellow anti-diet mom Virginia
Sole-Smith and I discuss the ways in which culture sabotages
parents, especially moms, by upholding unhelpful beliefs about
food and weight.


Tune in where we discuss how to handle unwelcome comments about
our kids’ bodies or food choices, what to do when they say “fat,”
and how to model body positivity. Plus I share some of my best
tips for parents in setting boundaries with love and kindness.
You’ll also hear me talk about the “back off” Lunch Box card by
The Feeding Doctor, Katja Rowell, MD and I share my experiences
with my kids eating at school.
