Hey food allergy mom! Is there really such a thing as an allergy-friendly resort? You want a vacation where you can actually relax, knowing your child is safe. But searching online can feel overwhelming. It’s hard to find anything about allergies, and even then, it’s hard to know what allergy-aware actually looks like in practice. Are they talking about a chef who understands cross contact… or is it just a single gluten-free option on the buffet? And the truth is, planning a trip with food allergies takes extra layers of research and preparation—because as moms, we can’t just book and hope for the best. We need to know what we’re walking into. So, if you’ve ever wondered how to find an allergy-friendly resort, stay with me until the end—I’ll share the insider strategies I use as a travel advisor and food allergy mom, and you’ll walk away knowing exactly what to look for.

In this episode, I’m sharing my astonishing reasons why celebrations in the classrooms should be food-free, and in case you’re worried that taking food out of celebrations will make school boring and full of misery, listen to the end for surprising kid and teacher-approved alternatives that make school super fun and exciting.

Hey Food Allergy Mom, One question I hear from food allergy parents is: “Is my child ready to self-carry epinephrine at school?” Sometimes we think they’re ready, but the school or maybe their doctor isn’t convinced. We all know that having that epinephrine available right away is important, which makes self-carrying an important option. So, how do you know they’re ready, and what can you do to show the school they are? In today’s episode, we’re walking through what self-carry means, and I’ll share some real-life tests you can do to help everyone feel confident that you’re child is ready. By the end of this episode, you’ll have a solid plan for figuring out if your child is ready to self-carry this school year—whether it’s your child’s first time or just a new grade with new expectations.  I'm cheering for you!

Hey food allergy mama! Need food allergy camp tips this summer? The first time I sent my kid to summer day camp, I honestly didn’t know what I didn’t know.

Hey food allergy mama! Have you ever turned down a BBQ or potluck invite just because it felt like too much? The planning, the label-checking, the explaining, the watching—it can all feel so overwhelming. Honestly, there were summers when I skipped more events than I went to. Not because I didn’t want to go, but because it just felt easier to stay home than to manage all the moving pieces. In today’s episode, I’m sharing a story from a few years ago—back when we were adjusting to food allergies—and just the thought of going to a block party made me want to hide. I’ll walk you through how I got out of that “low” place and found a way to make social events feel more doable, even enjoyable. If you’ve ever felt that mix of exhaustion and loneliness when everyone else seems to be out having summer fun—this one’s for you. Or maybe you just want some tips so that you don’t have to avoid summer fun in the first place. Stick with me to the end, because I’m also sharing a few practical things that helped us feel more included and less overwhelmed at potlucks and BBQs. I'm cheering for you!

Hey Food Allergy Mama! It’s a summer Saturday. The family is heading to a splash pad picnic with some friends. Sunscreen? Check. Towels? Check. Cooler full of snacks? Double check. They even remembered the epinephrine! They get to the park, unload everything, and start setting up. The kids run off squealing into the water, and the grownups get busy laying out blankets and trying to find a bit of shade. A few hours go by, everyone’s hot and happy, and then it’s time for lunch. That’s when Mom realizes—uh oh. The epinephrine is still in the glove compartment. She runs to grab it, and the second she opens the car door, it’s like a wall of heat hits her. It’s got to be 100 degrees in there, maybe more. She pulls the pen out, and it’s warm to the touch. She panics for a second. Is it ruined? Is it still okay to use? Should they leave? Should they eat? And of course, the guilt creeps in. “How did I forget this? I know better.” But here’s the thing: it happens, even to the most seasoned allergy parents. In this episode, we’re going to talk about why temperature matters when it comes to epinephrine—and how to avoid this moment altogether, without needing to be perfect. I'm cheering for you!

Nothing too serious, but it was enough to make me stop, reflect, and realize just how much I’d been carrying.

Hey Food Allergy Mama, If you’ve ever wondered when to start teaching your child the skills they need to manage their food allergies independently, let me tell you—you’re on the right track by asking! The truth is, you can’t start too soon. Kids who grow up seeing smart, safe food allergy habits in action are so much more likely to carry those habits into their teen years and beyond. That’s why what you do now lays the groundwork for their future confidence, independence, and safety. Not only that, but they need these essential skills as they journey through school. Of course, when they’re little, they need extra support from their teachers and parents, they’re not meant to do it alone. However empowering them with good allergy habits early allows an extra level of security and confidence. So in today’s episode, we’re talking about 3 surprising reasons to empower your food allergy child—starting right now. Stick with me because I’ll share 6 easy ways to start! Whether they’re still in preschool or already eyeing middle school, there are simple, practical ways to help them build the skills they need to navigate life with confidence. I'm cheering for you!
