In Episode 43, Christine and Chanel sit down with Dr. Alexis Conason—clinical psychologist, eating disorder specialist, and author of The Diet-Free Revolution—for a powerful, compassionate conversation about breaking generational cycles of food and body shame.
Together, we explore:
✨ How to raise kids with body trust while you're still healing your own
✨ What to say when your teen says, "I feel fat"
✨ How to manage parent anxiety when a child says they're "full" after just a few bites
✨ Mindful eating vs. intuitive eating—what's the real difference?
✨ The influence of peers, social media, and school culture on kids' body image
✨ Why mindfulness is one of the most effective tools for parents
✨ Small, immediately actionable shifts to create a less shame-based home
This episode is validating, clear, and grounding—packed with real-life examples and guidance that helps parents reconnect to themselves while supporting their kids.
