We’re keeping it quick and powerful today with a rapid-fire Q&A —three of the most common picky eating questions I’ve been getting lately (and the answers that’ll change everything for your mealtimes).

In this short but packed episode, I’m tackling:
How to know if you’re accidentally making picky eating worse (and why it’s not your fault)
What to do when your child refuses everything you serve—without turning dinner into a battle of wills
How to finally get your partner on the same page so you’re not sending mixed messages at the table

These are the questions that every parent of a picky eater wrestles with—and I’m giving you the practical, real-world strategies to handle them with calm, confidence, and connection

  • What to do when you’re torn between holding boundaries and keeping the peace
  • The right way to approach your partner about feeding differences
  • How to stop power struggles and start teamwork at the table
