**From Barely Eating to “Heaps of Food” in One Month** Jan 28, 2026
Show notes

“Just wait it out. It’s just a phase.”

Sound familiar? That’s what Millie’s pediatrician told her when she complained that her daughter had stopped eating. So she waited… and waited… and waited.

Until she finally decided she was DONE sitting on her hands hoping something would magically change.

In this special New Year’s episode, I’m sharing Millie’s story—and why January is actually the PERFECT time to reverse picky eating (especially after the holiday cookie/cracker/candy spiral we’ve all been living through).

In this episode:

Why “it’s just a phase” keeps parents stuck for months (or years!)

The real reason your kid is picky (hint: it’s NOT the problem you think it is)

Why stopping pressure alone doesn’t work—and what actually does

How nutrition affects tantrums, sleep, sickness, learning, and mood swings

The 10 root causes of picky eating (most kids have 2-3 of them)

Here’s the truth: picky eating isn’t the problem—it’s a SYMPTOM of something deeper. You can spend all your energy mopping up the puddle, or you can fix the pipe

Millie saw results in ONE WEEK. Within a month, her daughter was eating “heaps of food like someone turned on a switch.” No more stress. Relaxed food culture. Normal weight gain. (And she’s not special—she just used a method that works!)

**3 Things You’re Asking Your Picky Eater to Do That They Literally Can’t** Jan 21, 2026
Show notes

You’re asking a reasonable thing. Your kid refuses. You get frustrated. They melt down. Sound familiar?

Here’s the plot twist: what if the problem isn’t that your kid is being stubborn—it’s that you’re unknowingly asking them to do something their brain literally can’t do yet?

In this episode, I’m breaking down 3 things parents expect picky eaters to do that they simply CAN’T. And when we don’t realize these expectations are unrealistic, we accidentally create the perfect storm for power struggles, meltdowns, and even worse picky eating.

In this episode:

Why your kid can’t “just eat it” even though they ate it last week

The anticipatory hunger myth (they can’t eat now to avoid being hangry later!)

Why they can’t compare raspberries to strawberries like we can

The hunger/fullness articulation trap that leads to pressure tactics

How too-high expectations kill the ONE thing picky eaters need most: confidence

This isn’t about lowering the bar—it’s about understanding their actual developmental capabilities so you can set them up for SUCCESS instead of frustration

When we ask too much, kids either shut down and get pickier OR people-please their way through meals (neither is what we want!).

**If I Had to Start Over with my Picky Eater** Jan 14, 2026
Show notes

If you could go back and start over with your picky eater, what would you do differently?

In this episode, I’m sharing the 5 things I wish I’d known from the beginning—whether your kid just started getting picky, you’re in the trenches right now, or you’re trying to prevent it with a baby who’s eating everything.

The best part? You can start doing ALL of these things today. No time machine required

In this episode:

Why embracing the MESS is the #1 most powerful thing you can do (touch before taste!)

The hunger window mistake I made that created meltdowns at the table

How my anxiety was secretly fueling my son’s picky eating

Why doing too much FOR your kid actually tells them you don’t trust them

The risky play your kid needs to build confidence with new foods

This isn’t just about what I did wrong—it’s about understanding the ROOT CAUSE of picky eating. Because sometimes it’s not a strategy issue… it’s a nervous system safety issue
