S09|17 - Raising Body-Confident Kids: Shame-Free Feeding & Body Image Tips with Nicole Cruz, RD
On this podcast, we love to talk about shame-free everything… It’s easy to see how our parenting can trend toward shame, and I hope listening in has helped that change in little (or big) ways. If you grew up in a home where your body and food choices were a main focus and commented on often, you may wonder how to raise your child differently. Ditch the food and body shame in this episode with Nicole Cruz, RD, and me.
