In this episode, I’m breaking down the real root causes of picky eating (hint: it’s not just your child being “stubborn”) and sharing practical strategies you can start using today to bring peace back to your table.

We’ll cover:
✨ The four most common hidden reasons kids refuse food (it’s deeper than “personality”)
✨ Why it’s okay if your child isn’t eating kale every night (protein and healthy fats matter more!)
✨ The two principles that will instantly shift how you approach mealtime
✨ The two “tracks” for turning picky eating around — rip off the Band-Aid vs. slow switch
✨ Playful eating strategies that make new foods way less scary

I’ll also give you my favorite hands-on strategies, like:
🥄 The “One Bite, No Thank You” rule
🍽 One dinner only — you’re not a short-order cook!
🥩 Sneaky superfoods (think bone marrow pancakes, liver tacos, and gut-healing broth)
🌉 Food bridges to gently expand their palate
👩‍🍳 Cooking together to turn mealtime into connection time
👀 Why modeling matters (they copy what we do more than what we say!)

By the end, you’ll feel equipped to stop the food fights, create more mealtime peace, and help your little one become a confident, adventurous eater.

Should you trust your pediatrician? 🤔 Today I’m not here to give you a simple yes or no. Instead, I’m sharing stories of times doctors mismanaged my child’s care—including how one pediatrician misdiagnosed bloody diarrhea (and what we did instead).

In this episode, I’ll cover:

• Why being a steward of your child’s health sometimes means saying no
  
  
• How to balance having a pediatrician on hand while still being the final decision-maker
  
  
• My son Ojai’s story of bloody diarrhea and how triage + the pediatrician completely missed it
  
  
• How another doctor brushed off constipation as “totally normal” (and how that dismissal ultimately led us to discover toxic mold in our home)
  
  
• Why prevention, intuition, and informed choices matter more than intervention alone
  
  

The takeaway? Doctors are human, and they’re working inside a very narrow framework. It’s not about never trusting them—it’s about remembering that you are the decision-maker for your child’s wellness.

In this deeply personal episode, I open up about my real and raw postpartum experience — navigating grief, chronic illness, gut health struggles, and the emotional toll of motherhood. From the shock of postpartum sleep deprivation to uncovering mineral deficiencies and hidden gut infections, this is my story of breaking down, getting answers, and slowly piecing myself back together.

What You’ll Hear in This Episode: The emotional and physical challenges I faced in postpartum recovery. How grief and motherhood collided in unexpected ways. The surprising role of gut health and mineral balance in postpartum healing. What my GI map revealed about my symptoms — and how I addressed them.

In this episode Jiordana and I speak to what food psychology is and why it's key to having a healthy relationship with food and your body. We speak to how food gets programmed into us at an early age, how to break cycles of restriction and more!

Jiordana is a clinical nutritionist, hypnotherapist, TEDx speaker and an expert in eating behaviour. Jiordana runs a vibrant practice that focuses on the connection between mental health and nutrition and our relationship with food. Jiordana works with women all over the world using her signature program “The Mind-Full Method ™” to help facilitate permanent changes around eating behaviours, and reprogram the nervous system to end self-sabotage. Jiordana focuses on the brain-body connection and believes if the body is holding onto weight, there are imbalances in both the mental state, and the physiological body. Jiordana helps clients to recover their mental and physical health through the use of Food Psychology, Holistic Nutrition, Functional Medicine, Hypnotherapy and Behavioural Psychology.

Additionally, we're excited to share that she has offered our Wisdom of the Womb family an exclusive special deal on her programs!

In this powerful and heart-centered conversation, Stephanie welcomes Becca Dollard—a somatic healing practitioner and holistic life coach—onto the show. Becca supports high-functioning moms who’ve done the work through therapy and personal growth but are yearning for a deeper, more embodied connection to themselves. Together, they dive into the topic of somatic eating, exploring how to transform your relationship with food and your body through felt experience rather than just logic or willpower. This episode sets the stage for understanding how emotions live in the body and how healing begins when we listen to what our body is truly asking for—beyond diets, rules, or routines. Becca shares how her personal journey with emotional eating and body image laid the foundation for her professional work, and how “self-care” has evolved into something more intuitive and nourishing. Becca shares how so many women live in a fog of dissociation—numb, disconnected, and operating from unconscious habits rather than intentional choice. Together, they explore how emotional eating isn't inherently “bad,” but rather a cue to look deeper at our unmet needs and unprocessed sensations living in the body. The conversation touches on everything from the cultural obsession with mindset, to the ways we bypass our emotional signals, to why food becomes a fast and familiar tool for numbing when we haven’t learned how to truly feel. You’ll walk away with a radically compassionate framework for shifting from autopilot behaviors to embodied choice, and from numbing to nourishment—no shame required.

🔑 What You'll Learn: What somatic eating really means How emotional and physiological healing are deeply connected Becca’s personal journey through extremes in health, self-care, and identity The importance of tuning into the body vs. following external rules Why motherhood can be a profound catalyst for inner transformation

The 4 Tiers of Eating (Framework):

1. Eating for Pleasure – Often mistaken for joy, but can be numbing

2. Eating for Energy – Quick, convenient, driven by fatigue or busyness

3. Eating for Recovery – Restrictive, reactive, rule-based eating

4. Eating for Health – A dynamic, intuitive, collaborative relationship with food

✨ Quotes to Remember: "Motherhood is a season of massive up-levels and refinement by fire." "I feel so good—not just mentally and emotionally, but physiologically—because I stopped outsourcing what my body needs."
