  • Picky Eating 101 — One-Meal Mindset, Refusals, and Real-World Fixes

    Picky eating isn’t a parenting fail—it’s a phase (and a skill set). In this episode, Christina interviews Morgan (SLP + feeding specialist) to break down what’s normal, what’s not, and how to create calm, consistent mealtimes without cooking five different dinners.

    What we cover:

    • The Division of Responsibility (your job vs. your child’s job at meals)

    • The one-meal mindset: how to serve one family meal with simple tweaks

    • Refusals & throwing: calm scripts, the “no-thank-you bowl,” and a 3-strike rule

    • Safe foods vs. learning foods—and why to offer a little less of the safe food

    • Schedules that work: 3 meals + 2 snacks, and why a 2-hour buffer before dinner matters

    • High chair drama: transitioning seats, foot support, and the power of a visual timer

    • Getting kids involved (without losing your mind): low-mess kitchen jobs that build exposure

    • “Hidden veggies” vs. learning to like vegetables (texture, temperature, dips, and play)

      If you’re tired of mealtime battles and ready for a plan you can actually stick to, this one’s your new playbook.

    • The Balancing Act — Motherhood, Work, and Everything In Between

      If you’ve ever looked at someone and wondered, how do they do it all? — here’s the truth: they don’t. In this episode of Doing It All(ish), Christina and Morgan get real about the messy balancing act of raising kids, running businesses, and trying to keep a little sanity along the way.

      From postpartum chaos and disrupted routines to meal prep hacks, time blocking, and finding a supportive circle of friends, we share what helps us get through the week—and what sends us over the edge. You’ll hear:

      • Why “balance” is mostly a myth (and why that’s okay)

      • Our go-to rhythms that make daily life feel less overwhelming

      • The systems, tools, and meal prep strategies that actually help

      • Honest talk about postpartum struggles, fertility treatments, and mom guilt

      • Why community and connection are the real secret weapons

      • If you’re looking for encouragement, practical tips, and some unfiltered honesty about motherhood and entrepreneurship, this episode will feel like a deep breath (and maybe a good laugh).

      • How We Got Here — Friendship, Business, and Motherhood

        Welcome to the very first episode of Doing It All(ish)! We’re Christina and Morgan—two lifelong friends navigating the messy, beautiful, and chaotic reality of raising kids while building businesses.

        In this kickoff episode, we share our story: from meeting on the soccer field in middle school to building our careers—Christina as the co-owner of two Pure Barre studios and Morgan as the founder of Eat Talk Grow, a thriving speech and feeding practice. You’ll hear how we became inseparable friends, how our families are intertwined, and how those connections shape the way we approach work, motherhood, and life today.

        We open up about:

        • The highs and lows of parenting toddlers and school-aged kids
        • Building businesses from the ground up (with zero plan and a lot of grit)
        • The challenges of balancing family, work, and personal tim
        • Why we started this podcast and what you can expect in future episodes
        • If you’ve ever wondered how anyone manages to “do it all” (spoiler: you don’t, at least not perfectly), this podcast is for you. Think of it like joining a real, unfiltered group chat about motherhood, entrepreneurship, and everything in between.
