#115 - Please Don't Screw Up Our Kids! Part 1: A Conversation About Food, Weight and Body Image with Virginia Sole-Smith of Comfort Food Podcast
May 1, 2019
In this two-part episode, fellow anti-diet mom Virginia Sole-Smith and I discuss the ways in which culture sabotages parents, especially moms, by upholding unhelpful beliefs about food and weight. Virginia shares her rock bottom moment of what it took to finally give her daughter chocolate milk and why she had to unlearn much of what she learned from culture, her childhood, and her work as a writer and editor within the health and beauty industry.
Please tune in to part two of our conversation on Virginia’s " target="_blank" rel="noopener">Comfort Food podcast to get the full conversation, including some of my best tips for parents in setting boundaries with love and kindness.
