Have you ever said something about food or your body in front of your kid — and felt that instant pang of regret? Most parents have. And most of us are just running on autopilot, repeating things we heard growing up without realizing the impact.

In this episode, host Curtis walks you through why the casual, daily things we say about food and movement matter way more than we think — and what to do about it.

You'll learn:

— What "fat talk" is and why most parents do it without realizing

— Why labeling foods as "good" or "bad" backfires (and a better way to frame it)

— A simple 3-step playbook for when your kid says "I'm fat" or "I hate my body"

— Fast, practical phrase swaps you can start using today

This isn't about being a perfect parent. It's about being an intentional one. Because the goal isn't one big conversation — it's a hundred small moments that add up.
