Hello and Welcome to the Redwood Wellbeing Podcast, where each week I am dedicated to supporting parents on the journey of nurturing their child's healthy relationship with food and their body image.

Through practical, everyday strategies and tips, I help you to become empowered to make a lasting difference in your child's wellbeing journey.

In this episode, I'm joined by dietician and founder of Explore Nutrition, Kim Lawler.

Kim talks to us about her book she co wrote called 'Fat is Fat and That is That', which helps parents and children to neutralise the word 'fat', and move away from the negative connotations long associated with the word.

She discusses the importance of exposing children as early as possible to neutral language to describe bodies, to give them the best possible chance at growing up to not fear fat on their bodies, and know a long term positive body image.

You can purchase Fat is Fat and That is That from:

Through practical, everyday strategies and tips, I help you to become empowered to make a lasting difference in your child's wellbeing journey.

In this episode I'm joined by my old friend Hannah, who has been on a journey of healing her poor body image since childhood. She shares with us;

• Her insight into how we can make supportive choices as parents so that our children hopefully don't go down that same path of body dissatisfaction.
• How she felt like she had to hide her struggle from her friends and family and portray confidence instead.
• How throughout her childhood there were constant messages about bodies that made her feel unworthy in hers.
• How she began to rebel with food.
• How her insecurity impacted her relationships
• The mental and emotional work she has done to begin healing, and the inner dialogue shifts she is still working on.
• Her hopes for the future as she continues to heal.
