I’m sharing how I raised my daughter to *not* be a picky eater—from what her very first foods were, to the intentional (and sometimes controversial) “rules” I followed during her first two years. This isn’t a list of expert-backed guarantees or a one-size-fits-all method. It’s what worked in our home, through consistency, conviction, and a lot of trust in the process.

We’ll talk about why the idea of “kid food” never sat right with me, how early exposure shaped my daughter’s palate, and why I believe raising a good eater doesn’t happen by accident. It’s not about perfection or control—it’s about leadership, boundaries, and modeling a healthy relationship with food from the very beginning.

I’m sharing this not to shame or compare, but to offer perspective, encouragement, and a reminder that our choices at the table matter more than we’re often told.

**In this episode, I share:**

* What my daughter’s first foods actually were
* The “rules” I followed for the first two years (and why I don’t regret them)
* Why short-order cooking creates more problems than it solves
* How taste preferences are formed early
* Why intentional feeding is an act of care, not control

If you’re pregnant, in the thick of feeding a baby or toddler, or simply questioning what you’ve been told about kids and food—this conversation is for you.
