If you’ve ever given birth, are about to give birth, or love someone who’s about to, this episode is a MUST. Deena opens up about how she’s preparing for baby #3, and this time?

We grew up with food being labeled “good” or “bad.” With sweets treated like gold and guilt baked into every bite. With pressure to finish our plates and shame if we didn’t. We’re breaking that cycle. In this episode, we’re sharing 3 powerful ways we’re helping our kids build a healthy, shame-free relationship with food and their bodies:Why we don’t hype up sweets (no food gets put on a pedestal)Why we never force bites or make them earn dessertWhy we don’t call any food “bad,” not even packaged snacksThis isn’t about raising perfect eaters. It’s about raising kids who trust their bodies, enjoy food, and feel good around the table—for life.This episode may contain paid endorsements and advertisements for products and services.
