24. Are We Accidentally Passing Our Food Baggage On To Our Kids?

It started with a throwaway sentence at the dinner table. My husband was telling the kids a story about growing up, and before he could finish it, I jumped in: "it'll be waiting for you for breakfast."We both knew immediately — that didn't come from us. It came from our parents. Who got it from theirs.In this episode I'm talking about the food rules we absorbed as kids — finish your plate, don't waste food, earn your pudding — and what they've actually done to our relationship with food as adults. I'm getting honest about the patterns I've had to unlearn, what I do differently with my own kids now, and why none of this is about blaming the people who raised us.The cycle breaks when someone decides to break it. This episode is for the mum who's ready to be that someone.
