On this episode of the Raising Wild Hearts podcast, I'm sitting down with Jessica Setnick to explore the complex relationship between food and comfort, particularly in the context of parenting and childhood development. We discuss how food can serve as a source of comfort from infancy, the importance of secure attachment in developing healthy eating habits, and the need for discernment in recognizing emotional versus physical hunger. Our conversation highlights the significance of understanding our own food relationships to better guide the next generation.
