The almond mom: a mom with an unhealthy obsession with thinness, dieting, and exercise who project that onto their own children. In this episode I breakdown what the "almond mom" is and take a deep dive into the complex relationship between almond moms, diet culture, and eating disorders.

In a world where wellness trends, superfoods, and diet fads seem to be constantly evolving, it's easy to feel overwhelmed by the pressure to maintain an idealized image of health.

In this episode I dive into the background of the almond mom, often trapped in diet culture themselves. We'll also explore the broader implications of the almond mom and diet culture and how it can contribute to the development of eating disorders.
