Episode 49: Nourished–Feeding Kids is Deeper than Just Food with Dr. Deborah MacNamara

In this episode, we interviewed Dr. Deborah MacNamara, author of the book: Nourished–
She talks about how food has been divorced from connection and it was never meant to be this way. In today’s society, we are worrying too much about WHAT to feed our families and forgetting to focus on our relationships. If you are a mama struggling with obsessing over what to feed your child, this episode is a breath of fresh air and will empower you to feel confident in your choices and know that your relationship with your child supersedes the food they are eating. This episode is a must-list and we think the combination of Mary Ruddick’s episode and this one complement each other perfectly.
