Description

This episode is for the mums who are still healing their own food relationship while trying to raise kids who feel free around food.
If you’ve ever hidden a snack from your child…
Or found yourself saying, “I’ll be good tomorrow” out loud and immediately wondered what that taught them...
If you’re scared they’ll pick up your habits, your guilt, your shame…

Then this one’s for you.

I know what it’s like to want to do better, while still feeling like you’re getting it wrong.
But here’s what I want you to know:
✨ You don’t have to be perfectly healed to protect them.
✨ You’re not broken, you’re rebuilding.
✨ Just being conscious, right now, is part of the healing.

In this episode, I talk about how we can model food neutrality and self-compassion even when our own relationship with food still feels complicated. I share stories from clients (and a few of my own vulnerable moments too) that show you how to stop the cycle without shaming yourself in the process.


We’ll explore:

  • The guilt we carry as mums around food

  • How to talk about food and bodies in a way that empowers your kids

  • And how to start turning shame into education without having it all figured out


If you’re a woman trying to heal in real time while raising tiny humans in a food-obsessed world…
Please hear me when I say: You are not alone in this.
