Kids are always paying attention. Not just to what Kids are always paying attention. Not just to what we say about the food, but how we act around it. What we eat, what we don’t eat.The pause to check in with ourselves before taking seconds.The comment about being too full for dessert or the comment about wishing we could have some.How we build our plate.The way we prioritize nourishment (or not).Always skipping dessert or bread…or going crazy for it when it’s available.Our kids questions and behaviors are often just little mirrors, gently showing us how far we’ve come…and maybe where we still have the opportunity to work on our own relationship to food.When parents ask me how to raise kids who eat healthy, don’t obsess over sweets, and trust their bodies, I always explore the parents’ relationship to food, too.You don’t have to get every moment perfectly right (I can promise, you won’t).And it’s never too late to shift the tone in your home no matter how young or old your kids are.Small changes in how we eat and talk about food can help our kids grow up with the things those of us who grew up in the 80’s and 90’s never had: neutrality and self-trust with food.And if you notice there’s still work to do for you, that’s ok!Becoming more aware is the first step. 🤍
The freedom to eat pasta on a random Tuesday witho The freedom to eat pasta on a random Tuesday without guilt isn’t just about the pasta.⏰It’s the time and energy saved because you can heat up leftovers instead of making something you don’t even want from scratch.🧠It’s the mental energy saved from calculating how you’ll “fit it in” later or make up for it at dinner.😋It’s the deep satisfaction of eating something filling and comforting… which, ironically, is what actually helps you stop picking at snacks all afternoon.Because when you’re connected to what your body and mind need, you feel more satisfied.
And when you feel satisfied, you feel more in control around food.
And that’s how body trust starts.But let’s be clear: eating pasta without guilt is NOT the same as “F-it, I don’t care about nutrition.”I know pasta alone won’t keep me full, and I’ll experience that energy high and crash.So I balance it in a way that actually feels good in my body:
🍝 Pasta
🫘 Protein (meatballs, beans, chicken sausage, shrimp, etc.)
🥦 Some veggies (usually mixed right into the sauce).This combo was: pasta, tomato sauce, chicken sausage, chickpeas, sautéed mushrooms, and spinachNow it’s satisfying and balanced. Comforting and nourishing.This is what food freedom really looks like — not just absence of rules, but actually knowing your body well enough to give it what it needs and enjoying your pasta while you’re at it 💁‍♀️✨
How to stop fighting the constant urge to raid the How to stop fighting the constant urge to raid the chocolate chip stash 👇1. Nourishing your body with enough food, balanced meals, and consistency
2. Getting your brain on board by getting out of the good/bad mindset around food
3. Ending the shame cycle by shifting towards curiosity (so you can actually get to the root of why you’re raiding the chocolate chip stash)
4. Identifying any emotional triggers and learning how to cope with them productively (aka without chocolate).And that’s when the pantry raids stop and you can move on with your life. 💙
It’s amazing how easy things can feel once you lea It’s amazing how easy things can feel once you learn how to support your body instead of fighting it.I know it feels like you need to be more strict, control harder, get the sweets out of your life.And when that stops working, it feels like it’s your fault. Like there’s something wrong with you.Your uncontrollable sweet tooth isn’t a character flaw.It’s very likely a signal from your body that it needs more nourishment.This is exactly why the first thing I do with every client is make sure she’s eating enough for her body, with the right combo of foods, and at the intervals her body needs.Food freedom isn’t complicated when you understand how your body works.

This is one of the most common mistakes I see wome This is one of the most common mistakes I see women make who overeat at restaurants, on vacations, at parties, at work dinners 👇Saving up calories for the big night/weekend/event.Almost every diet out there promotes this, too. WW, calorie counting, macro counting…save up to fit your calorie budget.And this advice is exactly why you overeat. When you save up calories, it backfires1️⃣ You show up ravenous, so as soon as you start eating, it feels impossible to stop (this is biology, not a willpower problem).
2️⃣ By telling yourself you need to save up for the “big” meal, you’ve already decided you’re going to overeat. This is a self-fulfilling prophecy. There is no chance of not overeating.That’s why I teach my clients to:
✅Nourish their body consistently throughout the day instead of saving up calories/points — this sets your body up to be in control.✅ Rewire those automatic thought patterns from I always overeat so I need to save up → I am someone who can be in control. Your beliefs and thoughts are what get your brain on board.These 2 simple shifts are exactly how my client went from overeating anytime she was at a restaurant to stopping when full without packing up half her meal before she started eating.You don’t need more willpower. You need to learn how to support your body and brain.If you’re tired of swinging to between being good and falling off the wagon, I have 3 spots open for 1-1 coaching right now.Start in the next 2 weeks and you’ll be feeling in control around food in time for spring break.
