This is a BONUS episode. I've been flooded with questions about candy and sugar these past few weeks as we approach Halloween (and of course, the holiday season is around the corner!). So, this week, we're digging into the fears associated with candy, plus how to help your kids (and yourself) navigate sweets when eating those foods is riddled with stress and guilt. 

Listen to the full episode on Patreon!

We dig into...

• How do we stop feeling so "out of control" around candy?
• How do we deal with the fear and anxiety of having it so easily accessible this time of year?
• What are some strategies for making sure our kids don’t inherit our negative relationship with candy?
• How do we work through fears associated with eating "too much" sugar or being "addicted" to sugar?
• What about the health impacts of eating a lot of candy?
• What can we do when families we interact with are restricting candy in their homes?
