On the fence about doing a retreat? So were these incredible women (swipe ➡️).

Over 65 women have joined my retreats - most with the same hesitations you might have:

⏳ “I’m too busy.”
😬 “I don’t know anyone.”
💸 “Can I justify the cost?”
🧒 “Who will take care of my kids?”

Yet they all left saying things like:

💬 “This was the best decision I’ve ever made.”

💬 “I left feeling bliss, joy, peace, and completely re-energized.”

✨ This is your chance to reset, reconnect, breathe, and return home clearer, lighter, and ready to live with intention (and joy).

I never imagined walking into the best children’s hospital in the world for this reason.

Not as an anxious parent heading into surgery or pacemaker checkup with my daughter.

This time, I returned as a parent who has grown and who now supports other families navigating feeding and nutrition challenges.

I had the honour of meeting with Dr. Ronald Cohn (CEO of the hospital), to share how my daughter’s journey inspired the work I do — with kids, parents, and even in the workplace.

I introduced the Mat + Cards — playful, evidence-informed food exploration tools that have helped 1,000+ picky eaters try new foods with more confidence and fun.

To share it inside the hospital that once held so much worry for our family?

That moment felt BIG.

Here’s what I know as a and :

📌 When kids feel powerless, they push back.
📌 But when they feel in control — just enough — they open up.

😑 The problem? Parents often give control at the wrong times (which keeps kids stuck on safe foods).

That’s why the Curious Cookie approach works: it gives kids the right kind of control.
✔️ Food acceptance feels safe.
✔️ Step-by-step.
✔️On their terms.

✨ Comment CONTROL and I’ll send you the “Right Kind of Food Control” CHECKLIST:
✔️ 4 common ways parents accidentally give control — and fuel picky eating
✔️ 4 powerful ways to give control the right way — so your child feels confident trying new foods. 💛

A few weeks ago, I got a call from Ben Tarr, President of .

He asked if I’d be open to an interview for a clever new ad campaign the agency is working on (I won’t spoil it… but trust me, it’s really good).

The focus intrigued me…

How our and perception shape what we eat — and how we experience food.

Given my work helping thousands of families navigate (without power struggles), I’m always excited to share the why behind eating behaviors…especially when is can shift how we feed ourselves and our kids.

📌 Here’s something most people don’t know..

😮 Eating is the ONLY human activity that involves ALL of our sensory systems. So when a child (or adult) rejects a food, it’s rarely just about taste.

✔️ It’s about how it smells, looks, feels, sounds—and how their body reacts.

Huge thanks to Ben and the team for letting me geek out on all things taste, texture, and food.

Can’t wait to see what you’ve cooked up.

…………………………………

➡️ Parents — does your child struggle with ? Their senses are likely making eating harder. If you want to get to the root of your child’s eating challenges, DM me to book a consult and I’ll create a plan that works for your family.

It’s true. My kids have said all of this ( #8 is my personal fave).

Has your child had their own surprising “nutritionist approved” moment? Tell me below 👇

But don’t be fooled — my kids love gummy bears, ice cream, s’mores, and all the non-nutritionist-approved” goodies too.

That said, we’ve definitely had some “did-they-just-say-that?” moments that make people pause and go:.. “Yup… they must be your kids.” 😂

If you want to raise food-curious kids who actually ask for more balanced nutrition options, DM me for personalized guidance ❤️

😔 If your child’s food list is shrinking, this is for you…

I used to think success meant getting my daughter to try NEW foods. But I was watching her FAVOURITE foods disappear one by one...

Smoothies ✗
Her favorite pasta ✗
Even her go-to snacks ✗

Then I learned about “food jagging” - when kids get bored of eating the same foods too frequently.

🤯THE AHA MOMENT: Don’t just grow their list. We have to protect and save what they already love too.

✨ The Save & Grow Strategy:

→ SAVE their favorites through regular rotation
→ GROW their list with saved foods as bridges
→ Prevent food boredom before it happens

When I work with parents, I’m focussed on both… so that their child’s food list is growing, not shrinking.

Want the full Save & Grow method?

Join my free training this Sunday - I’ll show you exactly how to save AND grow your child’s food acceptance.

Last week my daughter was home sick, and resting while I was on a Zoom call with one of my corporate clients (we were reviewing the strategy for our upcoming workshops and leadership retreat).

The next morning, I found this note on my bedside table:

“To Mommy: I heard you talking on the computer and I didn’t know how good you are at your job. I realize how important it is to eat healthy. You were talking so maturely — I bet you talk like that when you help kids too.”

She later explained (ran out of space to say it on that tiny paper) that she’s proud of the work I do — and that she gets to learn from me. To her “mature” meant that I knew what I was talking about.

Poor penmanship aside, this was a moment. ❤️

As a parent, a wellness expert, and a business owner...there’s nothing more meaningful than knowing your child sees you. Not just as their mom, but as someone out in the world doing work that matters.

This was the reminder I didn’t know I needed:

Our impact isn’t just felt by the people we serve - it’s witnessed by our children too.

To every working parent juggling big goals and bedtime stories. You’re doing more than you know.

UPDATED TO ADD: my daughter’s note also reinforced why I’m so passionate about creating transformational experiences in my retreats. It’s a chance to recalibrate and feel re-energized. But also a chance to reflect on important questions you’ve not considered, to implement practical tips for your wellbeing, to discover how you want to show up in life….beyond your “roles” at home and work. And experience joy at a time when you feel endless pressure or anxiety.

Hey ladies! Who feels overwhelmed with responsibilities - at work and home - and thinks that stepping away means falling behind? 🙋‍♀️

Maybe you tell yourself…

If you’re not working, you won’t make progress in your career. If you take a break, stuff won’t get done at home.

But as a Workplace Wellness Expert and Family Nutritionist, I know that non-stop action comes at a cost.

Studies tell us that overworking leaves you more prone to burnout and even cognitive decline. Yet taking breaks improves mental clarity, creativity, and resilience.

For me, it took this 2-week trip to Tuscany 🇮🇹 — where life moves slowly, meals stretch over hours, and distractions are minimal — to be reminded that success doesn’t require constant action.

But you don’t need to go to Italy to experience the benefits of slowing down.

Take a few minutes today to do nothing.

➡️ Stare out the window.
➡️ Savour your coffee without multitasking.
➡️ Wait in line without scrolling.

Feels unproductive? Perfect.
Sounds boring? Even better.
Feels guilty? Let it go.

Better yet, take a few days away from your responsibilities.

It’s not selfish to step away for your own mental and physical health. In fact, your colleagues, spouse, children and friends will benefit from a calmer, energized, and more focused you.
