On today's episode we discuss the topic of Seasonal Eating. The first of many episodes where we will talk about the ways we can connect deeper to nature through our diet. Though this is a BIG topic we are beginning by just discussing what Seasonal Eating, why we should know about it, and how even as parents we can take steps towards this becoming more and more apart of our day-to-day life.

We also chat about how to begin the process of Seasonal Eating. It may surprise you but it isn't about shifting your whole diet. Instead we talk about a judgement-free way to start this process and it begins with observation, curiosity, and awareness before we make any move in any direction.

This topic to me is one of the most powerful pieces in the puzzle of climate change and I believe without a doubt we can be effecting our climate in the largest way through how we eat and the picture begins with seasonal and local eating. Even one shift in our yearly rhythms of eating could have an effect!

Listen more today and to the questions I ask from our community at the end of the episode as we address things like Organic or Local and How to be successful with this even in a small space or city.
