This all sounds great and exciting, but we all have different skills, abilities, kitchen sizes, equipment availability, food budgets, etc. Then you have to make time for scheduling meal prep, grocery shopping, meals for mine depending on the family size or how to store leftovers if cooking for 1-2, oh and recipe “ish” development.
This is where people can get held up. All families have different likes and dislikes, abilities, allergies, ultimately different relationships with food. What is going to work for you, and or your family? Prioritize what you want to work on and take baby steps and a family approach to make it happen. This is one way you can “show up” for your health. I can help you break this process down into baby steps that are doable.
If you have kids, remember what you as a parent or caregiver are responsible for and what your kids are responsible for…
You – what is being offered, when and where
They – how much and whether they eat it at all

Including family members in the process is key and can make this a more enjoyable experience (most of the time!)
It is messy but ultimately instilling healthy relationships with food into your life (and your families’) is crucial!
