How can we raise kids who feel confident in their bodies and have a healthy relationship with food? In this episode, I’m joined by Louise Pollard, fellow dietitian and certified intuitive eating counsellor. We dive into practical strategies to help children develop a positive mindset around eating, self-image, and well-being—without diet culture sneaking in.

🎙 What You’ll Learn:
✅ How to talk about food in a neutral and empowering way✅ The impact of parental language on body confidence✅ How to handle picky eating and food preferences✅ Why food should never be labeled as “good” or “bad”✅ Simple ways to encourage intuitive eating from a young age

💡 Key Takeaways:
Raising kids with a positive food and body relationship starts with us! By shifting our own mindset, we can create an environment that fosters self-trust, nourishment, and confidence.
