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.
Â
In this episode, weâre not holding back:
 ð· Deenaâs sick, Christinaâs running late from a meltdown-filled therapy appointment (hers and her kids ð«ð), and the kids are definitely NOT sleepingâaka, welcome to our real lives.
Â
But girl, we showed up anyway... because YOU are not alone in this. We are in this together. ð¯ðª
Â
ðïž Inside this episode :
𥊠Why food battles hit different when your child hassensory issues or cognitive delays
ð© The daily guilt cycle moms feel when we chooseconvenience over nutrition
ð¯ Real talk on mom burnout, budget meals, and theemotional exhaustion of "one more food battle"
ð¡ Practical mindset shifts, small wins, andgrace-based solutions for chaotic mealtimes
âïž Encouragement for weary mamas who are doing theirbest but still feel like itâs not enough
 ð€Why partnering with God in the small thingsmatters, and how even your grocery cart choices can be spiritual warfare.
Â
We may not be nutritionists (unless M.O.M. counts), but weâve lived this life and we know the struggle is real. If youâve ever bribed a kid with a Taki or found yourself arguing over Mountain Dew, this oneâs for you. ð«µ
