We all want to raise healthy, emotionally resilient, food-adventurous kids, but what does that actually look like and how do we do it? This podcast is a place for deep conversations and practical guidance about what it takes to raise well nourished kids, in every sense of the word.

It’s time to reimagine a way to parent in this modern world that supports health, connection and the relational wellbeing of our families and precious children. Every week we’ll bring you a new episode that draws on our combined 40 years of knowledge and experience in the fields of child psychology, behaviour and nutrition, as well as our own personal journey’s of raising healthy, thriving teenagers, in the hopes of bringing you some much needed clarity along with simple, proven strategies to help you raise well nourished kids. We’re here to support you to support your young people in developing healthy eating habits and positive relationships with and through food.
