220: Picky Eaters & Food Struggles: Stop the Arguments // feat. Kids Eat in Color's Jennifer Anderson

7 Oct 2026 · 54 min

Jennifer Anderson of Kids Eat in Color, registered dietitian and author of Feed Them Well, joins me to talk about picky eating, food struggles, and how to help kids develop a healthy, positive relationship with food.

If you have a picky eater or just kids who say they're hungry 20 minutes after you fed them dinner, this episode will make you feel seen and also hopeful that there is a way forward without the stress!

We cover everything from food marketing to family meals (without the pressure to sit perfectly around the table 7 nights a week)—and it's the perfect topic as we continue our Good Stuff series on Family.
