This week, we sit down with Stephen Menyhart, a registered dietitian, educator, and father whose work bridges food, community, and mental health. Stephen talks about what it means to learn as you go in both parenting and life, and how being present—even when everything feels chaotic—can change the way we show up for ourselves and our families.

He shares the wild stories of his two children’s births—one during a marathon of red lights, the other in the middle of a snowstorm—and opens up about the emotional weight many parents carry beneath the surface.

Stephen’s expertise spans nutrition counseling, eating disorder recovery, culinary education, and community-based food programs. For listeners interested in resources mentioned in the episode, check out:

• CHOW – Culinary Hospitality Outreach and Wellness
