What does it really mean to have a healthy relationship with food?In this second episode of The Intentional Table Podcast, we’re digging deeper into what’s truly at the root of how kids (and adults) eat. While it’s easy to focus on what’s on the plate or how our kids behave at mealtimes, what really drives those choices is their relationship with food... the thoughts, feelings, and beliefs they’re building every day.We’ll explore why this foundation matters more than the broccoli or the cookies, how it shapes both eating habits and self-esteem, and what you can start shifting now to help your child feel calm, capable, and confident around food for the long term.What you'll hear in this episode:Why eating behaviors are really just symptoms of a deeper relationship with foodHow pressure, guilt, and rigid rules can backfire (even when we mean well)Why it's not ACTUALLY about 'picky' eating or 'over' eatingThe triangle model that explains how feelings, behaviors, and food choices connectA powerful understanding of how our relationships with people mimic our relationship with foodReal-life stories from parents who saw their kids’ eating shift when they focused on the relationship firstWhat a healthy food relationship actually looks like... and why it matters more than their bites of broccoli or how many cupcakes they ate CONNECT with Nicole: - Instagram: @nicolecruzRD- Book a FREE Eating Alignment Call with Nicole to learn more about our approach and how we can work together: Eating Alignment Call SUBSCRIBE & REVIEW: If you loved this episode, it would mean so much for you to follow, subscribe, share, or leave a review.
