The Messy Intersection explores the tangled-up place where a generation of parents seeks to raise body-confident intuitive eaters while simultaneously undoing decades of their own diet culture learnings. Guests share stories and insight about about feeding kids, feeding ourselves, intuitive eating, stress, anxiety, the mental load and raising kids with the resilience to defy diet culture and develop a healthy relationship with food. Hosted by registered dietitian Diana Rice, RD of @anti.diet.kids.

On the first full episode of The Messy Intersection, we'll hear from Alexandra Caspero, a registered dietitian and blogger at Delish Knowledge and Plant Based Juniors.
Alex shares her experience of realizing that breastfeeding her first child wasn't going to look exactly like she pictured. We chat about the guilt and shame she felt due to feeding her son formula and how new moms' emotional and physical health needs to be a much stronger part of the conversation when we talk about about the benefits of breastfeeding (and the pressure to do so that results).
