The Midlife Feast

#110 - Parenting Without Diet Culture with Oona Hanson


Listen Later

Join me and parent coach Oona Hanson for a compassionate conversation about the tangled relationship between diet culture, body image, and family dynamics. Drawing from both professional expertise and personal journey through eating disorder recovery, Oona offers helpful insights into the subtle ways language shapes our beliefs about food and self-worth, and how these patterns impact the next generation.

Together, we call out why parenting in the face of eating disorders is so tricky to navigate, and why we have to prioritize understanding and advocating for early intervention over blaming ourselves. We cover fostering positive body image (including how social media plays a part) and Oona shares practical strategies for instilling positive eating habits in children, especially young athletes.
