422: Picky Eaters, Family Drama & That One Aunt: Holiday Meals Made Easier with Jordyn Koveleski Gorman, SLP

Ever silently begged your child to just try the mashed potatoes so Aunt Donna doesn’t take it personally (again)? If the thought of managing your kid’s picky eating and navigating the buffet of unsolicited opinions at holiday dinners makes you want to hide in the pantry with a bottle of gravy-this episode is your survival guide. We’re joined by Jordyn Koveleski Gorman, a licensed speech-language pathologist and feeding specialist (and mom of 3) who helps families handle selective eating without shame, stress, or bribing with cookies. She breaks down why holiday picky eating isn’t your fault, how to prep your kid and your relatives for the chaos of big meals, and why it’s totally OK to feed your kid a full lunch before Thanksgiving dinner. You’ll walk away with real talk, hilarious validation, and holiday picky eating tips for kids that actually work…no food fights, guilt trips, or side-eye from Grandma required.
