#115 - Please Don't Screw Up Our Kids! Part 1: 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. Virginia shares her rock bottom moment of what
it took to finally give her daughter chocolate milk and why she
had to unlearn much of what she learned from culture, her
childhood, and her work as a writer and editor within the health
and beauty industry.


Please tune in to part two of our conversation on Virginia’s "

full conversation, including some of my best tips for parents in
setting boundaries with love and kindness.

Kindness episodes I have flagged as best for parents. Body
Kindness and The Eating Instinct books can help you make sense of
culture, personal values, and finding a workable path for your
family. I’m available for 1/1 virtual counseling if you think
