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.
