Feeding Humans
When we trust in our body's beautiful wisdom, we can see our struggles with food, family feeding, and body image in a new light. The Feeding Humans podcast dives deep into what it means to be human—our complexities and flaws, our elegant physiology, our absolute uniqueness, our rich lived experiences. All these shape the way we relate to food. And because our little ones are human too, our family feeding challenges suddenly make a lot more sense. This podcast will help you find peace with yourself, parent with confidence, and raise confident kids who trust their bodies. These conversations ar...

The Hierarchy of Nutritional Needs
With all the chatter, handwringing, and noise about all the different nutritional concerns and questions we should have, it's tough to know how to get your needs met. In today's episode, Katherine lays out a specific framework for prioritizing your most important, most basic nutritional needs, so that we see the big picture and don't get lost in the details that matter less. Prioritizing the most important nutritional need of adequacy can encourage more ease and flexibility in eating, and allows us to relax our grip on trying to control and perfectly optimize our eating.

Today’s episode talks about why this is a myth, using examples of how we experience the rhythm of our lives and changing seasons. After the holidays, we enjoy the peace and calm o...
When Things Fall Apart
Hey folks, I’m back from an unplanned hiatus. Today, I share all about giving ourselves grace when life becomes chaotic or difficult. I share my personal experience about letting go of mealtime expectations during a stressful season of life. It’s okay to be flexible and make adjustments. This teaches us (and our children) to trust ourselves during times when things fall apart, and to give ourselves permission to prioritize only the essentials and let the rest go, requiring us to get very clear on what matters most and what matters less.
