Ep18 - Junk Drawer Mamas - Food Fights, Food Dyes, and Mom Cries: Navigating Extreme Eating Battles

Welcome to Part 2 of our messy, sometimes hilarious, and oh-so-relatable convo about the challenges of feeding kids and food battles, especially when you're a mom navigating special needs or extreme parenting.

 

In this episode, we’re not holding back:

 😷 Deena’s sick, Christina’s running late from a meltdown-filled therapy appointment (hers and her kids 😫😂), and the kids are definitely NOT sleeping—aka, welcome to our real lives.

 

But girl, we showed up anyway... because YOU are not alone in this. We are in this together. 👯💪

 

🎙 Inside this episode :

🥊 Why food battles hit different when your child hassensory issues or cognitive delays

😩 The daily guilt cycle moms feel when we chooseconvenience over nutrition

🎯 Real talk on mom burnout, budget meals, and theemotional exhaustion of "one more food battle"

💡 Practical mindset shifts, small wins, andgrace-based solutions for chaotic mealtimes

✝ Encouragement for weary mamas who are doing theirbest but still feel like it’s not enough

 🀝Why partnering with God in the small thingsmatters, and how even your grocery cart choices can be spiritual warfare.

 

We may not be nutritionists (unless M.O.M. counts), but we’ve lived this life and we know the struggle is real. If you’ve ever bribed a kid with a Taki or found yourself arguing over Mountain Dew, this one’s for you. 🫵
