In this second special bonus episode, I'm excited to share my interview on the Shameless Mom Academy, hosted by my friend Sara Dean, where I dive into the key themes of my latest book, "Kids Thrive at Every Size."

We discuss common worries for parents raising children in larger or smaller bodies, the impact of family culture beyond food and nutrition, and how to help children navigate body dissatisfaction, which may begin as early as age three. You'll also hear us talk about surprising aspects of a child's size and what parents can do to support their growth and confidence.

Join us for an insightful conversation filled with practical advice for nurturing a healthy, happy child.
