Friend and HBIC Beth Wilkas Feraco joins me on the show today to conduct a thought experiment and speak about fostering a healthy relationship with food and body in our kids. We discuss how taking pride in our cooking and our food adds a layer of joy and confidence in life, and we talk about how important it is to lead by example. We talk about how empowering strength training can be for kids, and how important it is to get them involved in the kitchen, exercise, and caring for themselves.

“If all you’re giving yourself is scraps, that can’t feel good. You can ride the wave of giving everything to everyone until you’re just done. You’re burnt out. And then you have this idea that you can’t do it and that you’re just not worth it.”

“People want to do things so quickly because our lives are so busy, but you actually need to slow down and take the time so you can decompress.”

- Beth Wilkas Feraco
