What if posture isn’t about sitting up straight — but about how your child breathes, moves, eats, and connects?

In today’s episode, I’m joined by Kasia Galica, certified strength and conditioning specialist, movement coach, and founder of Move with Kasia. Kasia brings an incredibly refreshing and science-backed perspective on posture and postural restoration — showing us that alignment isn’t rigid or aesthetic, but deeply tied to how the nervous system, breath, and sensory system communicate.

Together, we explore:

• What postural restoration really means (and why it’s not about holding your shoulders back)
• How posture influences feeding, chewing, swallowing, and speech
• Why the environment — chair height, light, noise, and connection — matters more than “perfect positioning”
• How footwear and sensory input affect development (plus what to know about barefoot vs. supportive shoes)
• Ways to support posture during pregnancy and postpartum, without rigid routines
• The importance of play, curiosity, and movement variety for growing bodies
• And why adaptability, not perfection, is the goal for both parents and kids

This episode beautifully bridges science and simplicity — reminding us that posture is less about fixing, and more about feeling, sensing, and connecting.

Whether you’re a parent navigating picky eating or a professional supporting development, this conversation will change how you see the body — and how you nurture it.

Kasia’s final advice:

“Play more, wrestle more, have more hugs, and laugh a lot.”

Key Takeaways

• Posture is dynamic, not static — it’s how we breathe, move, and sense the world.
• Kids need sensory-rich, variable environments (and grounded feet at the table!) for optimal feeding and development.
• Shoes are tools — the right ones help the brain and body communicate better.
• Play, rhythm, and conversation at mealtime naturally support healthy posture and connection.
• For moms, restoring posture starts from the inside out — through breath, awareness, and gentle rebalancing.
