I want to let you in on some good news:
The relationship with sugar is the same for all humans. We don’t need to do different things for kids and for adults. Yay efficiency!
You’re a lot smarter and able to hold more nuance and ways of understanding this topic than most of the content out there gives you credit for.
You don’t need to memorize scripts for what to say to your kids about food; sugar or otherwise.
There’s some fairly simple basics when it comes to sugar/sweets that you likely just haven’t learned yet and I’m going to teach you just that!
It is absolutely possible for you to embody a more confident and joyful experience with sweets and the same goes for your kids.
Sugar and sweet foods are everywhere.
It’s time to cultivate an informed, peaceful, and embodied way to coexist with them.

Parenting provides a mirror. We are constantly invited to look at our own relationship with whatever feels challenging with kids. The topic of sugar is no exception!
Food, and particularly sweet foods, can be a stand-in for emotional and physical needs- for all of us! Once you gain clarity for how this works in your body and for your kids, you’ll know the next right step at any given time.
I invite you to create a new paradigm about sugar so that these small shifts can make space for so much more joy and ease.
Learn how to authentically model a peaceful relationship with sweets for your children so they grow up knowing what this looks and feels like.
I’m here to guide you.

Having the freedom to navigate this, as a mom, is such a gift!”
