The Intentional Table
Feeding kids isn’t just about what’s on the plate - it’s about raising them to feel confident, capable, and at peace with food and their bodies.
The Intentional Table Podcast is here to help you break the cycles of guilt, shame, and mealtime stress so you can raise kids who eat well and feel good about it.
Hosted by Nicole Cruz, a registered dietitian and mom of three who has coached thousands of parents, this podcast gives you the tools, structure, and mindset shifts to create a positive, empowered eating environment at home.
With guidance, compassion, and strategies that really work, you’ll feel more confident and less stressed while supporting your kids through 'picky' eating, 'overeating', struggles with sweets, and everything in between.

My Kid Wants a Snack Every 30 Minutes - What Should I Do?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
You're in the kitchen getting snacks. Again. For the third time in an hour. Or you're staring at the dinner table watching your kid ask for seconds after already eating more than you did. Or maybe you're wondering if your child will ever eat a vegetable that isn't a carrot.
If any of this sounds familiar, you're not alone. These are three of the most common questions I get from parents, and I'm guessing at least one of them has crossed your mind too.
In this episode, I'm breaking down exactly what to do when:
- Your kid wants a snack every 30 minutes (and you feel like you live in the kitchen)
- Your kid will only eat one vegetable - or none at all
- Your kid always wants seconds and seems like they never have a stopping point
Here's what I want you to know: all of these behaviors are normal. But that doesn't mean we just let it go. There are practical, doable things you can do to support your child - without pressure, without stress, and without being in the kitchen 24/7.
If you're ready for straight-to-the-point answers that you can actually use today, this episode is for you.
