This only happens TWICE a year — and the next one is this Wednesday April 1st (at 1pm or 8pm EST). 🚨

If your child is still refusing foods, and mealtimes feel like a daily battle you’re losing …

How many more weeks are you going to sit through that?

This free training is for you if:

→ Your child refuses most new foods you offer
→ You’re scared about their relationship with food
→ You’ve given up and just make what’s easy (no judgement)

Every week you wait is another week of mealtime stress.

It doesn’t have to be that way. ❤️

I’ve helped 1000+ families around the world break this cycle in the past decade and on Wednesday I’m going to show you exactly how.

📲 Link in profile to register. It’s free but it won’t happen again until the fall.

Can’t make it live? Register and I’ll send you the 48 hour replay.

Exactly 2 years ago to the day, I was in a very different place.

Rushing from my grandmother’s funeral to ER to hear every parent’s nightmare.

My eldest daughter’s pacemaker pocket was the size of a golf ball. And that’s when we knew it wasn’t just a cold.

Our 10-year-old had a staph infection that had ripped through her body. She was septic.

The emotional weight and medical journey that followed were unimaginable. It destroyed my nervous system and I didn’t know how we would ever heal from it.

Her emergency surgery fell on my birthday, so the date I can’t forget.

Flash forward to today and life looks completely different - in a way I never imagined.

My daughter (12 now) and I were back at the hospital this week. Not for surgeries, pacemaker checks, or bloodwork. But to participate in a brand new initiative for the SickKids Foundation.

She was selected as one of 10 patients to be part of something really special. (Details to come - I’m leaving that to the team!)

In two years, here’s what has unfolded:

- Sienna has healed completely
- She is a patient ambassador for SickKids
- I joined Patient & Family Experience Advisory Board at the hospital
- I’ve collaborated with SickKids’ feeding team, bringing my work on into the hospital
- We started the (our fundraiser that has raised $47,000 in two years)
- We’ve shared our story on and
- We’ve presented to the Board of Directors
- And now this new initiative (TBA)

Mentally, we are all doing really well. I think it’s because we found meaning in it. We became part of something beautiful and bigger than us.

My daughter said to me recently:

“Mom, how can something so terrible turn out to be something so great?”

I didn’t have an answer in that moment. But now I can see it clearly — she was learning resilience.

You are not failing. And your child is not stuck like this forever.

I’ve seen kids go from 3 foods to 30.
I’ve seen kids who refused fruit start eating mango, oranges, and berries.
I’ve seen kids with ADHD, ARFID, and sensory challenges make real progress.

I’ve lived this personally too.

My own daughter was underweight, and we were facing the possibility of a feeding tube. Today, she eats over 100 foods and is thriving.

So no, your child is not too far gone.
No, it is not too late.
And no, this does not have to be your forever.

With the right support and the right strategies, change IS possible for your child too.

Strong-willed kids don’t resist food. They resist feeling controlled.

And the dinner table is where that shows up loudest.

Try this: BOP

Boundary. Options. Pause.

─────────────────
B — Boundary
You stay in charge of what meals look like. Creates structure and repeated exposure — how kids actually learn to like foods
✅ “Dinner is in 5 minutes”
❌ “What do you want for dinner?”
─────────────────
O — Options
They choose how they engage. Gives them autonomy — which reduces resistance
✅ “Do you want it on your plate or beside it?”
❌ “Eat 3 bites or no dessert”
─────────────────
P — Pause
You stop talking and let them decide. Removes pressure and prevents the power struggle from escalating
✅ Neutral body language, say nothing
❌ “Just try it, you liked it yesterday”
─────────────────

It works because are wired differently.

They’re often:
🌋 Highly reactive: emotions escalate fast
💪 Highly persistent: crave control and don’t back down
🛑 Low adaptability: new foods, places, anything feels hard

BOP helps with the control piece — but there are 4 more elements strong-willed picky eaters need before mealtimes actually shift.

💬 Comment BOP if you want to support your strong willed kiddo in my free training — it’s called “How to Get Your Child to Try New Foods”.

It’s happening on April 1st

Most parents assume the problem is the food.

It’s not.

Before a child is willing to try something new,
their brain needs to feel like it’s familiar.

That’s what exploration does.

Research shows sensory play builds neural pathways by physically mapping the environment in the brain, creating “memory anchors.”

This lowers the cognitive load of new experiences… so they feel less overwhelming.

In simple terms:

✨ familiar = safer
💕 safer = more willing to engage

That’s why your sensitive child shuts down at the table.

It’s not about the broccoli.
It’s about how unfamiliar it feels.

What actually helps:
• Add a “learning to like” portion (no pressure to eat)
• Let them touch, smell, or play with food
• Focus on interaction before expectation

It might look like nothing is happening…
but this is one step most parents skip.

If you want a clear plan to help your child expand their food list without pressure or power struggles,
I’m teaching this inside my “Try New Foods” Workshop next week.

If meals with your kids feel more frustrating than fun (especially with kids home for March Break) take a moment to laugh at the ridiculousness of what you navigate on a daily basis.

And let’s play some BINGO - swipe for prizes 🏆 because you deserve to feel like you’re winning at meals. ❤️

Too many parents feel like they’re failing when they feed their kids — today I want you to feel like you’re winning. 🥇 Comment BINGO if you’ve got a line 😉

Does it ever feel like your child has ants in their pants at dinner?

You sit down.
They pop up.
You call them back.
They wander off.

If your child will not stay at the table, it is usually not about “bad behaviour.”

It is often about comfort, connection, routine, sensory needs, pressure, and whether the table feels like a place they can actually stay.

That is why small shifts can make such a big difference.

🌟 There are 25 simple ideas I use to help get kids to the table - and keep them there.

Hosting or heading to a holiday party? 🥂 Try this 👇

The festive drinks.
The potlucks.
The celebrations.

I genuinely love this time of year (it brings people together).

But because I work in wellbeing, I also know what usually happens…

📌 Research shows adults tend to gain 1–3 lbs over the holidays — and most of that weight isn’t lost afterward.

Not because of one meal…

But because of many micro decisions from late November to NYE.

Here are a few simple shifts:

1️⃣ Grab a small, nutrient-dense bite before the party

It stabilizes your blood sugar.
You won’t walk in starving.
You’ll make better choices.

2️⃣ 𝐇𝐲𝐝𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲.

Match each alcoholic drink with water.
Top cocktails with sparkling water.
Opt for low-sugar wine (e.g. “dry” wine).
Or better yet, have a non-alcholic night.

Why? Alcohol + sugar interrupt restorative sleep

3️⃣ 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐧 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲, 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐩𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭.

Begin the next day with water (and lemon).
Start with fibre + protein instead of pastries.
Most importantly...return to your normal routine.
No guilt or self-sabotage.

Holiday celebrations should energize us — not leave us depleted.
