15: Taking Care of Your Future Self


Listen Later

As we move into a new year, it’s easy to feel pressure to fix, optimize, or reinvent ourselves, especially around food and motherhood.

This offers a different invitation.

Taking Care of Your Future Self is a conversation about devotion instead of discipline, listening instead of fixing, and why tending to ourselves with food is one of the most powerful ways mothers can create steadiness in their homes.

Rather than resolutions or overhauls, this episode explores how the most meaningful change begins with small, consistent acts of care — rooted in biology, ancestry, and the rhythms women have always lived by.

In this episode, you’ll hear:
  • Why taking care of your future self matters so deeply for mothers

  • How food becomes easier when it’s approached as care, not a problem to solve

  • The difference between fixing yourself and listening to what you need

  • Why the basics work — and always have

  • How tending to yourself now shapes the future for you and your children

    If food has felt heavy, tangled, or like one more battle to fight, this episode offers a steadier, kinder way forward.
