What Makes Feeding Our Kids WELL Feel SO HARD?! And 6 Ways to Change That with Megan Ferney

Earth Food First

Why has something SO PRIMAL—teaching our kids to eat foods that help them thrive—become SO HARD and WHAT EXACTLY can WE DO COLLECTIVELY to change this?

Meet my guest Megan Ferney, a mama, trained chef and registered dietitian. Even with epic cooking skills and a deep knowledge of nutrition, feeding her 3 littles the way she really wants to STILL FEELS HARDER than it should be due to our current kid food culture which makes feeding our kids healthy foods a daily uphill battle.

In episode 14, listen to my super honest conversation with Megan around adopting new cultural norms when it comes to feeding our kids, to make everything about helping our families EAT WELL, not only doable, but enjoyable.

After our convo with Megan, you’ll walk away knowing more about:

• Why the current “kid food culture” makes it HARDER to feed our kids well and what we can do about it
• Guidance on feeding neurodivergent kiddos to help them embrace new foods, support their whole health and deter selective eating
• Megan’s top tips for making food that BOTH nutritious and delicious
• Increasing cooking confidence
