Today I’m excited to introduce you to Tanja Shaw of Fit Vibrant You Podcast. Our conversation focuses on learning how to feel comfortable in and love our bodies.

As we develop the habit of caring for our bodies and respecting our bodies, the children in our lives will follow our lead.

Tanja also gives us some advice to help bypass the power struggle at the dinner table. This can help our children feel empowered to make their own healthy eating choices by doing the following:

• Being mindful of our language around food
• Making health a family effort so no one feels singled out
