Our very first guest on the Can I Have Another Snack? pod is artist Laxmi Hussain whose stunning work depicts the softness of bodies and the tenderness of early motherhood. We talk about her postpartum experience, and how, even as a mother of three, her instincts were undermined and gaslit. We talk about how new mothers (especially pandemic mums) are repeatedly let down and dismissed. Laxmi shares her experiences of sharing her studio with a toddler and how he has become part of her process. We then go on to discuss her family’s food culture and her own relationship to food and appetite. Lastly, we consider all the ways that our kids are told there is something fundamentally wrong with them, and how we as parents can give them the tools to develop resilience to these messages. Also, just a heads up that this will be the final episode coming through the DSMG feed, so make sure to subscribe to the new Can I Have Another Snack? pod to catch all the new episodes!

Heyo - welcome to the LAST EVER episode of Don’t Salt My Game 🥺 (dw - I have something else very cool in the works and I’ll share details in this podcast feed when it’s ready at the end of summer).
Our final guest is Kelly Fullerton - a nutritionist and primary school teacher from Melbourne, Australia - who is challenging conventional and dogmatic approaches to how we teach kids about food. In this episode we break down:
Why traditional nutrition education isn’t developmentally appropriate The unintended consequences of teaching things like grams of fat in cheese or number of sugar cubes in drinks We break down why ‘sometimes’ food and ‘everyday’ foods are just a version of ‘good/bad’ We talk about how kids actually learn about food and how teachers can engage kids’ natural curiosity, their culture, and the broader context that kids eatThis was a fun episode to go out on - I hope you’ll share it with parents and teachers in your life! And I’m excited to share lots of cool new things with you soon.

Okay team, this week we’re moving away from the world of child feeding for a hot minute and diving into the world of body confidence and style. And before you start rolling your eyes at the impending “love yourself” mantra, don’t worry, that’s not where we’re heading.
This week, I’m joined by Abby Russell, a curve model, fashion content creator and personal stylist who’s MO is to inspire her followers to live authentically, celebrating who they are through personal style. We dive into some of the challenges of figuring out your style after having a baby or becoming a parent. In this episode, we touch on things like;
The sneaky and not so sneaky ways that diet culture can show up in so-called fashion rules Where to begin when you’re thinking about putting your wardrobe together post-partum How Abby approaches defining your own personal style and how to fun and get playful with it Answering some listener questions on things like bras for big boobs, when to get rid of clothes that no longer fit, the stress of shopping as a plus-size person in a straight-size world and weirdly aggressive reviewers on vintedI really hope you take something great from this episode, and with Abby’s contagious energy I’m sure you all will!

We’re back with a brand new guest this week on Don’t Salt My Game - the lovely Oona Hanson. Oona spent 25 years in education and now helps parents and guardians raise kids who have a healthy relationship with food and their body. As well as her private practice as a parent coach, she also works as a family mentor at Equip and holds a master's degree in educational psychology and a master's degree in English. Her work has been featured widely including on CNN, USA Today, Good Morning America, US News and World Report Today, People and Parents Magazine.
In this episode, we cover some really big and important topics like;
The challenges of feeding teens Some of the nuances of using the Division of Responsibility with older kids and teens and why Oona actually doesn't use it at all with her own family Why language like “hollow legs” and “bottomless pit” are really problematic when talking about bodies and appetites, especially for teenagers Who is allowed to own their appetite and who isn't Red flags for eating disorders and disordered eating The parallels between bodies changing in teenagers, as well as body's changing in midlife amongst parents How we can create a safe environment for normalising body changes.I really love talking to Oona and really appreciate her work.

Hey team! We're changing things up a little this week on the pod with a solo episode - just with me, and I’m going to be answering questions about feeding your kiddos and anti-diet parenting that were sent in on Instagram. I'm going to touch on things like:
The systemic fear of fatness that trickles into our parenting. Genetically determined set point weight. Why your toddler might seem to be eating more foods at the childminder than at home. When "fussy" eating might actually be a feeding disorder and where to find support with this.I hope you found this episode helpful! You can expect some more of this type of ‘sode popping up every now and then, so let me know what you think of this format or drop an email to [email protected] if you have any questions you’d like answered in the next AMA!

It’s that time of the week again folks! This week, I’m bringing back one of my all-time favourite episodes with one of my equally favourite people, Nicola Haggett. We recorded this episode back in January 2021 alongside the launch of my second book, How To Just Eat It. If you haven't already heard this episode, then I think it will have a lot to offer you. And even if you have already listened, I bet you'll get something new and different listening to it a second or even a third time around.
Nikki is body liberationist coach and mentor, professionally trained and experienced life coach, certified Body Trust provider and Open Heart Project meditation instructor. Nikki is also a mid-large, fat human whose lived experiences navigating the world as a fat person are a super important part of her work. In this episode, we dive into the world of embodiment, covering things like:
How writing our body story can be an act of reclaiming the narratives of our bodies What exactly embodiment is and how we can find examples of it in our lives (babies, kids, cats!) The difference between embodiment and more ‘performative’ or ‘hustle’ self-care How embodiment can help us to feel connected to our bodies without necessarily ‘loving’ or feeling ‘positive’ about them Reclaiming pleasure, appetite, autonomy and more Finding spaces that feel safe to reconnect with your bodyAs always, if you like this conversation, please share the love - give the episode a like on socials or share it with your family and friends, and hit subscribe to stay up to date on new episodes dropping weekly.

I’m SUPER excited about this week’s episode because I am speaking to the G.O.A.T of the child feeding world, Dr. Katja Rowell. Katja is an author and child feeding specialist with a passion for supporting parents in helping their children to do their best with eating and to relate to their bodies in positive ways. In this episode, we cover topics like;
The difference between regular old picky eating and look at some red flags for when kids or families maybe need a little more support with eating How if you feel like there’s a problem and you could do with support and reassurance then that in and of itself is enough of a red flag that you should reach out for help Whether or not it’s helpful to pursue a diagnosis around eating difficulties Problems associated with some more conventional feeding therapies or programmes and why Katja and I prefer to work in a way that is less prescriptive and more responsive Values of responsive feeding therapy and talk about what they look like in action Some of the pitfalls perhaps in teaching kids to listen to their tummies, if our agenda is to get kids to eat less. Felt safety, what that means and how we can foster it at mealtimes.Show Notes:

Hold tight folks, this is a good one! This week, I’m chatting with Molly Forbes, journalist, campaigner, author of Body Happy Kids and founding director of the Body Happy Organisation.
Molly gives loads of practical and pragmatic advice for how you can begin to open up conversations with your school to stomp out diet culture and support positive body esteem. It's such a helpful episode for anyone who has wondered whether or not schools are undoing some of the things that you're doing at home to protect your kids' relationship with food and their bodies.
Some of the topics we cover include:
How influential schools really are when it comes to supporting/disrupting body esteem. Where diet culture creeps up in schools in areas like school uniform policy. How we can open up conversations with schools about diet culture, and how teachers can get their schools on board with an anti diet culture policy. How you can begin to tackle food policing policies. National weight measurement programme and why you should opt your kiddo out.if you enjoyed today's episode, then you can help the show reach more people by subscribing on your podcast player and sharing it with a friend!

HEYO - look who’s back on the pod!
Tally first shared her journey with us back in 2019 {listen to that here}. Since then she’s published two books and completely shaken up the fitness industry, challenging the notoriously weight-centric, aesthetics focussed industry to move in ways that feel joyful and to prioritize rest (and not feel guilty about it!). She also joined us in 2021 to break down the principles of Intuitive Movement {you can listen to that here}.
This episode was recorded back in January as part of a live Q+A we did (before things got weird). I decided to save this episode to share with you on International No Diet Day because it felt like the perfect way to celebrate!
In this episode we cover:
- The difference between exercise and intuitive movement
- How we can approach rest without feeling guilty
- Why I hate the daily mile in schools
- Ableism in the fitness space
- How to know if movement is motivated by self-care or coming from a place of wanting to control your body and your weightThis is such a fun episode - Tally is a dream. If you enjoy this conversation then please don’t forget to share and keep the conversation going over on our socials!

I hope you’re buckled in because this one’s a doozy! Today I’m joined by Dr. Martha Deiros Collado, a clinical psychologist with expertise in parenting, child development and paediatric health. In this conversation, we explore how to support kids in building healthy body esteem and preserving a positive experience of embodiment. Some of the topics we cover in this episode include;
The necessity of bringing an intersectional lens to conversations about body esteem Why promoting body esteem is about so much more than teaching kids they look good We cover BIG ideas like agency, autonomy, consent and honouring differences in identity (but don’t sweat - Martha makes these ideas super accessible) We touch on how letting kids have autonomy around food is so critical (and why you should let them blow their own nose!) And lastly, we name some of the power structures and systems of oppression that make us feel as though our bodies are not good enough in the first placeIf you enjoy this episode then don’t forget to subscribe to get more like this right to your podcast player every Friday!
