How To Talk To Your Kids About Food and Body Image

What we say about food, exercise, and our bodies matters more than we realize - especially when our kids are listening.

In this week, I'm joined again by Dr. Tiffany Watson (check out her previous guest appearance here), my own health and nutrition coach, to have a deeply needed conversation about how to foster healthy, peaceful attitudes around food and body image.

We dig into the messages our children pick up from what we say (even casually), and how we can begin to reinforce those conversations with more awareness and intentionality.

We talk about:

What your child's inner voice is learning from the way you talk about food and your body
Everyday phrases that unintentionally cause harm and how to shift them
Five powerful mindset shifts you can begin using right away (no shame required)
Subtle red flags to watch for in your child's behavior that may signal food anxiety or body image struggles

Whether you have young kids, teens, or want to rewrite the narrative you were handed, this episode will help you speak and live from a more empowered place.

Dr. Tiff also shares her new book, Your Unique Fizeek, designed to help girls build identify and confidence on things that last, not just the way they look.
