Easy Feed Podcast Episode 72

Today I’m joined by Nourishing Kids member Jemma, a mum of two who shares her  journey from the early days of reflux and sleepless nights to navigating fussy eating and finding peace at the dinner table.

I’ve had the privilege of working with Jemma for several years, and her story is one that so many parents will relate to. From the guilt of wondering what’s “wrong,” to the relief of discovering the right support, Jemma’s experience is a reminder that feeding challenges are not a reflection of failure, but a part of parenting that can be transformed with the right tools.

In this episode, we talk through the ups and downs, the small wins that built momentum (like that first bite of chicken!), and the mindset shifts that helped Jemma change her family’s relationship with food. If you’re raising a picky or fussy eater, this conversation will reassure you that you’re not alone—and that positive change is possible.
