Feed Your Can podcast shares inspiring stories, interviews, helpful facts and every day life hacks where people living with food allergies talk about gaining back their power. We'll interview inspiring guests, discuss practical tips, savvy life hacks and share healthy mind snacks. Sometimes we just need to flip the script away from fear and look for another narrative. We'll show you how food and fun CAN coexist. You may need to restrict your foods, but that doesn't mean restricting your fun! We'll look at this struggle as the teacher and reflect differently on our struggles, becoming more capable and confident in tackling life's hardest challenges. Join us as we focus on how to Feed Your Can...when some foods, you just can't.™

Finding and elevating your voice to protect someone you love is not an easy or comfortable task. Add life-threatening food allergies to the mix and you realize this is a skill you must learn. Michelle has had plenty of practice learning about advocacy and living it personally and professionally as well.

Michelle and her husband are raising a son who is deaf and raising a younger son with multiple food allergies. Even before having kids of her own, Michelle worked as a special education teacher. She has become a very skilled advocate and today works professionally in advocacy to provide inclusive health and wellness experiences for people living with disabilities.

Food allergies are an invisible disability and Michelle teaches us through her story how to best speak up, be heard, be seen and also appreciated for working towards a safe and productive outcome for all.

Listen to her powerful story and you'll walk away with practical tips you can apply right away in your own life.
