Why do family meals sometimes turn into battlegrounds instead of bonding moments? Have you ever dreaded dinner time, wishing it could feel joyful and connected again? If you’re wondering how to ease meal struggles and nurture a better relationship with your kids around food, this episode is for you.

Lindsay shares her frustration about meals becoming stressful and her desire to avoid creating unhealthy habits or a negative relationship with food.
