Many parents are paying closer attention to what goes into their food, but what about the products they use on their skin, in their homes, and around their children every day?
 
In episode 118 of Wild and Well, I am talking to low tox living educator and author Krissy Ballinger about reducing everyday chemical exposure, simplifying home and personal care products, and making practical low tox changes without striving for perfection.

We also discuss simple DIY alternatives, how to approach low tox living without overwhelm, and the importance of focusing on the foundations of health.

Many mothers find themselves reacting to their children in ways that feel bigger than the situation in front of them.

These moments can be confusing, especially when your logical mind knows you want to respond differently but your body takes over.
 
In episode 117 of Wild and Well, I am talking to Kelsey Cicci, a registered social worker and psychotherapist, about how past experiences and trauma shape our nervous system, how these patterns show up in parenting, and how EMDR therapy can support healing and emotional regulation.

For Jess Drover, homeschooling is ultimately about taking responsibility for our children’s upbringing and helping them understand the world around them.

In episode 116 of Wild and Well, I am talking to Jess about curiosity-led learning, homeschooling, emotional resilience, and how everyday family life becomes the foundation for education when children are given space to explore, participate, and contribute meaningfully.

Homeschooling is often less about curriculum and more about how children learn to think, engage, and grow through everyday life. In this conversation, we explore what it looks like to raise curious, capable children in a world that often prioritizes convenience over resilience.
 
In episode 116 of Wild and Well, I am talking to Jess Drover, a homeschooler and mother who also runs a children’s book business. We discuss curiosity-led learning, emotional resilience, and how everyday family life becomes the foundation for education when children are given space to explore, participate, and contribute meaningfully.

I don’t sneak food into the meals I make my family. But I certainly do add plenty of nourishing ingredients in. Organ powders are one of my favourites.

Organ powders can be a simple way to add nutrient-dense foods to meals your kids are already eating, especially for picky eaters.

Often, picky eaters are low or deficient in key nutrients. Some of these deficiencies can actually lead to more picky eating and keep our kids stuck in that unhelpful cycle. Conveniently, organs are packed with these nutrients.

My kids are so used to these being added in that my eldest son asked if he could have some liver powder sprinkled on this yogurt. I don’t think that would have tasted very good, but no one notices it when it is sprinkled into pasta sauces, stir fries, curries, or rice.

Follow along for more tips and tricks for overcoming picky eating and helping our kids to have optimal health at Psychologist for Moms - Picky Eating + Anxiety + Parenting

I also have a book on picky eating coming out soon, so stay tuned!

It is natural to want to make things easier for our kids. It can be hard for us to see them frustrated, bored, disappointed, or struggling.

But difficulty is a part of life, and our children need opportunities to experience it while they’re still learning and growing.

Homeschooler Jess Drover talks about this and so much more in episode 116 of Wild and Well.

From the research, clinical work and life as a parent, I know that our emotional regulation skills, or lack thereof, impact everything from our mood to our health to our relationship quality to our job success. (Emotional regulation was the topic of my PhD thesis.)

What Irin Rubin is doing MamaZen App - Parenting Anxiety, Burnout & Stress Solution is incredible for helping us as parents to have these critical skills and be able to pass them on to our children. We chat all about it in episode 113 of Wild and Well.
