Beyond the Plate: What Your Picky Eater is Really Trying to Tell You
In the Season 2 finale, I’m bringing it all together — the research, the real-life examples, and the practical wisdom from my BLOOM™ Framework — to help you see picky eating in a whole new way.
Instead of adding more tips to your already overwhelming to-do list, I’m inviting you to shift your lens and ask: What is my child’s picky eating really trying to tell me?
We’ll talk about:
- Why picky eating is often dismissed — and why that can be a dangerous mistake
- The deeper root causes behind picky eating (hint: it’s not “just behavior”)
- How toxic environmental factors are making food struggles worse
- Why oral motor skills, gut health, and nutrient status matter more than sticker charts
- How the 5 pillars of my BLOOM™ Framework connect to create lasting change
- The smallest shifts that can create the biggest impact — even if you start with just one
- How connection and safety can open the door to new food experiences
Whether you’re parenting a toddler who refuses everything but goldfish crackers or an older child with years of food struggles, this episode will help you see their eating patterns through a whole-child lens — and know exactly where to start.
