  • Want All the Kids to Hang Out at Your House? Here's How!

    Want All the Kids to Hang Out at Your House? Here's How!
    Apr 15 2025
    If you want to be the house where all the kids hang out, it’s pretty simple: FEED THEM. I’ve invited my good friend, Logan Wolfram, to the conversation because as a mom of teen boys, she is living proof that this is the case. Feed them. They will hang out. Logan and I talk about what this is and what it isn’t. It’s NOT trying to be the “cool parent” and providing drugs and alcohol to underage kids. It IS providing a safe space, full of love and laughter. We discuss the easy steps in becoming the home all the kids want to hang out at, plus some hilarity that involves a bat (the nocturnal kind), a mountain cabin, and a tree swing attempt gone bad. Also, make sure you’re subscribed to my personal newsletter if you want Logan’s easy recipes to feed your teens and all their friends! Life Happens. Let’s Talk About It.

  • The FIght To Clean Up Our Food with Vani Hari, aka The Food Babe

    The FIght To Clean Up Our Food with Vani Hari, aka The Food Babe
    Apr 1 2025
    There is a strong bipartisan movement in our country to clean up our food, from food dyes to pesticides and ultra-processing. The FDA even recently banned Red Dye #3 due to potential links to cancer. Vani Hari, aka “the Food Babe”, has been on the front lines of this FOOD FIGHT for over a decade, petitioning large corporations, speaking on the senate floor, writing NYT best-selling books about the subject and being named one of Time Magazine’s “Most Influential People on the Internet”. She cites evidence that our children are being decimated with chronic disease, including a pre-diabetic epidemic, in large part due to the junk in our food (using ingredients that are banned in most other countries). We talk about this movement, why she’s encouraged that our food supply will change, plus how we can all use our voice for positive change. Let’s Talk About It. Listen in to learn more: (00:00) - Cleaning Up Our Food System (03:46) - Food Ingredient Discrepancies and Health Risks (10:20) - Fighting Against Artificial Food Dyes (19:31) - Revolutionizing the Food System (30:35) - Budget-Friendly Family Breakfast Ideas (33:18) - Empowering Parents to Advocate for Change (38:20) - Navigating Food Transparency and Swaps In this episode, we are delving into the differences in American food products and the same products in other countries, comparing how foods are regulated in the US and abroad, the effects of food dyes in children’s health and behavior, how our food supply chain has changed over time, bipartisan support for cleaning up our food, and how we can hold private companies and government agencies accountable for what is in our food.
