If you have a baby, toddler, or just about anyone in your house eating, you NEED to hear this episode. We chat with Megan McNamee, one of the two founders of Feeding Littles. She is a Registered Dietician who specializes in Pediatric Nutrition, Food Sensitivities, & Disordered eating. In this episode we discuss why a parent's attitude around food matters when it comes to their children eating. We also discuss why forcing, bribing, or tricking your children into eating is not a long term strategy. We also discuss some reasons why food regressions might happen & children will gravitate toward certain foods. We discuss a lot of other aspects of eating as well, so get your notebooks out!

This week Kristen & Talia chat about their adventures in potty training their kiddos. We hear from Kristen first, who you can guess, had a structured, researched approach to the endeavor. She used start charts, prizes, alliteration, & was done in four days. Talia took a more laid back approach, but still used stickers & prizes. They discuss what worked best for their particular kid and tailoring potty training to your child's personality. They both also waited until their kids were older. Kristen's son had just turned three and Talia's daughter was closing in on four. Tune in to hear their tips, tricks, & failures from potty training their first born kids!

While we have touched upon this briefly in other episodes, Talia delves into their struggles to conceive this week. She and her husband have been trying to expand their family for almost a year, and she's at her wits end. She shares the tornado of blame she places on herself, the lengths they have gone to so far, and the lengths they are willing to go to in order to expand their family. We also get to hear some of the well intentioned things people say during this struggle, that does not feel so helpful. This week we have a new question to close out the  episode, which will help us all feel a little more human in our mothering journey.

This week we keep it real with our diet & exercise journey. The episode starts off with Talia describing her upbringing and culture around food, exercise, and body image. She takes us through pregnancy and postpartum, discussing her experience with trying to lose the baby weight. She also shares her struggles with emotional eating while in the hospital with Skye. We then get to hear Kristen's upbringing and culture around food, exercise, and body image. We get a glimpse into her mentality before, during, and after her pregnancies, and how she approached postpartum fitness each time. They both discuss how they want the culture of these topics to be for their kids, in the hopes of raising intuitive, confident children. They do drop a D-bag while talking, so make sure you are not listening around your kids this week.
