here’s the cycle: research shows that protein helps with so many aspects in our bodies, especially for women as they age.

then that new recommendation turns into an intense, numerical (sometimes unattainable) amount that causes feelings of pressure and worry if we can’t make the mark.

and then what happens is that we get product after product and influencer after influencer selling us new revamped item or product to help us hit these marks.

and at some point it stops being really about health and care for our bodies and more about if we measured up to the rubric.

yes protein is very good for us. yes let’s be cognizant of making it a priority in our diet.

no let’s not buy expensive popcorn that probably doesn’t even taste as good as good ol’ standard popcorn with butter and salt (which is delicious!)

It’s so important that we don’t use diet talk and disparaging language about our bodies around our kids….

And it’s so important that we also work to challenge when others make off hand comments about bodies or food around us.

Our kids internalize these statements and by challenging them, we teach them how to fight back against the negative and shaming rhetoric that offhand negative comments can cause.

Let’s give our kids a language for challenging negative body and food talk

Parents! We can walk our kids through how engage with candy and sweets in a balanced way.

It’s possible to enjoy treats, and also learn when you are hungry and full.

Use prompts for intuition and teach balance. This is how we teach our kids to have a healthy relationship with ALL foods

Bodies change, bodies grow, bodies shift, bodies age.

And a body that is living a full life will include a body that is given permission to change, to grow, to be lived in.

A body that is living a full life is given permission to experience joy , to move in ways that bring it life, to rest and recoup, to nourish itself.

The next time there’s a a stretch mark, or a wrinkle, or something that shifts on our bodies, let’s keep reminding ourselves that these our signs of our body living and growing.

To all the women who are exhausted from constantly being told to change, adapt, and hide the signs of aging…

You see it too, right? Another trend popping up—just one more thing for women to stress over, track, and spend money on to “correct.”

But aging? Aging is powerful. It’s a gift. We don’t need to erase the signs—it’s okay to let them show.

I feel so emotional whenever I read these reviews 🥹

My goal has always been to help shift the way that we as women relate to our bodies and how we raise the next generation to relate to their bodies too.

Let’s break the generational cycles of self hatred together.

I’ve received this question several times from followers: “I understand the idea of guiding my child back to their intuition, but my child with ADHD struggles with sugar cravings. What do I do about that?”

✅ Do’s
Teach them to connect with what their body is asking for. In this case, their body is likely seeking a dopamine boost. If your child is old enough, you can talk about how dopamine works and how it gives them that “happy” feeling. For younger kids, explain it in simpler terms—like telling them they’re looking for a burst of happiness and other ways to get that— dancing to music, playing games, etc.

Do guide your child toward finding balance in their food choices. Living off vegetables isn’t healthy, and living off sugar isn’t either. When discussing balance, you can talk about how sugar gives us quick energy, but we also need protein to help build muscles. Every food has its role, and everything can fit into a balanced diet.

Do teach them all the other ways they can get dopamine bursts! This helps them understand that they have choices and options around creating this for themselves.

❌ Don’ts
Don’t shame your child for their food choices. It’s so important to approach this with understanding, not guilt. Sugar gets a bad reputation, but in its simplest form, it’s energy for the body, and there is definitely a place for it in their diet. We just want to avoid overconsuming any one type of food.

Don’t lock up or hide food to control their intake. Restricting access to food can create more anxiety or even lead to overeating when they do have access to it. Instead, teach them about balance.

❗️ Key takeaway
This is all about gently guiding your child toward intuitive eating principles, especially if they are more wired to crave those dopamine boosts, like many kids with ADHD. It’s about helping them learn how to listen to their body in a healthy, supportive way.

This is how we build kids they are connected to their bodies. This is how we build kids that grow into adults that understand their body’s needs.

I’m so excited for my latest upcoming workshop hosted by @lifecyclewellnessandbirth !

If you’ve been working on embracing and nurturing your body during middle age, this workshop is for you.

We’ll be covering all aspects of peri-menopause and menopause, discussing how to cultivate a positive relationship with our bodies through the changes these life stages bring.

As women, we don’t have to fear “the change.” We deserve to discover new, informed ways to care for ourselves.

Registration in link in LinkTree in bio or in stories.

Hope to see you there!

Actual convos I have with my kiddos around candy.

And yes, these convos don’t always go as simply as what is reenacted 😅 But these are some simple taglines we can utilize to make sure we’re teaching our kids two important things around sweets and intuition:

1- it’s ok to enjoy sweets and our bodies will tell us when we’re hungry and full!

2- instead of jumping to “you’ve had too much candy!” we can talk to our kids about ways to help them fill themselves up. Pairing it with other foods will help us cue into fullness and feel satiated .

Don’t demonize candy (which can lead to secret behaviors with it)… teach them to enjoy it, act intuitively with it, and feed and nourish their bodies.

Next week’s topic- sweets and our neurodivergent and special needs kiddos 💗

This is a real thing that just happened between me and my 8 year old.

Cellulite is a normal part of bodies. And it’s important that we are parents teach that it’s normal for bodies to have things like cellulite and stretch marks and wrinkles. All the ways that our bodies change are ok!

I always answer in a straightforward way around body changes, using correct and neutralizing language around body parts and shifts.

And if this was with my teenager, I would add in a few more facts— “ Cellulite is just fat deposits that happen in the subcutaneous part of the skin. Totally normal, and most people (especially women) have it. “

This is how we teach body acceptance— by modeling and teaching our kids that they don’t have to feel shame around changing bodies.

We want to approach candy and sweets from an “all foods fit” perspective.

Because really all foods do fit! Demonizing certain foods for kids only creates more obsessions with them, not what we want to do.

We can help our kids understand how to interact with candy from an intuitive perspective, and this is exactly how.

Of note- this is not a one size fits all engagement . Our neurodivergent kids or children with chronic conditions may need different language or more guidance. More to come on that topic!

About that video with my 8 yr old and gummy worms….

I received some comments that were like “sugar is a drug!” Or “sugar should be demonized!”

So here are the 3 reasons you’ll never hear me demonize it.

Yes, we do need to discuss how it works.
Yes, we need to use different approaches with our 3 yr old from our 17 yr old.
Yes, the way we handle it will look different for our neurodivergent kids or kids with chronic conditions or Type-1 diabetes.

I’ll be doing more reels and series on all of that, so definitely follow along!

But right out of the gate, I want us to be clear that on this page we approach ALL foods from an ALL foods fit perspective. ✌🏻

Throwing it back to this trend as an introduction for all my new friends 👋

Welcome to a space that’s all about freeing ourselves and future generations from the toxic messages of diet culture that have held us all back.

Welcome to a space that’s understanding that each of our personal body liberation is directly tied to ALL people’s body liberation.

Welcome to a space that believes that ALL foods can fit in our daily intake and that we can teach our kiddos this lesson as well.

Using one of my most favorite mugs from @sarahherstichlcsw . This space will always give a big 🖕🏻to diet culture

I understand the pressure as a parent to “fix” things for your child. They say they don’t like their body and the instinctual response is to jump in and help them change it.

But the risks with this are high, and don’t actually meet the needs of helping our kids feel confident in their body.

Changing their body isn’t the key to confidence.

Understanding, acceptance, self-care , connection— these are the things we want to teach our kids in order to help them through difficult body image feelings.

Hear the difference?

We as parents can shift the messaging from “lose weight and control our bodies” to “listen to your body and care for it.”

Small and subtle ways we can teach our kids connection for their bodies rather than control and monitoring.

And that starts with the parents. It starts with us focusing less on our stomachs and thighs and anything else that diet culture tells us we should be controlling.

When we let go of controlling our bodies, we give our children permission to let go as well. We give them permission to focus on joy and moving their bodies in a joyful way. We give our children permission to eat intuitively and trust their bodies.

Decrease the fixation on your body , focus on enjoying your life, trusting your body’s intuition. The kids will see and be encouraged to follow suit.

I say yes to sugar and sweets all the time! And I teach my kids how food functions in their bodies and how to be aware of what their bodies need.

We can guide our kids into greater connection with their bodies, not by demonizing and controlling sugar, but instead by helping them understand how all foods fit in their lives.

We can guide our kids into greater connection with their bodies, not by demonizing and controlling sugar, but instead by helping them understand how all foods fit in their lives.

Got this text from a colleague about my book and, NGL, I did tear up.

This is what I was hoping the impact could be.

Finding Peace with Your Body stands as a beacon of hope that yes, it is in fact possible to find peace with your body…even if you’ve struggled for years and years.

Useful as a stand alone resource or in conjunction with therapy too. 💗

Inadvertently, we as adults can make offhand comments about our food, our bodies, etc. It’s all birthed from anxiety.

This is a reminder that the kids are listening and weighing (pun intended) their own food intake and bodies against our statements.

So as summer approaches, no need to share about your latest diet or weight loss goals. The kids internalize this.

We want to raise kids that are connected to their bodies, excited about enjoying all types of food, and learning how to be intuitive eaters that build themselves up.
