Anna Lutz and Elizabeth Davenport have a conversation with McCall Dempsey, founder of Southern Smash, about parents who have their own history of an eating disorder and the ways in which that can make feeding a family challenging. 

They discuss:

  • The unique challenges faced by someone who has recovered from an eating disorder when feeding their children.
  • How being relaxed about sugar and processed foods can make feeding kids easier and helps raise intuitive eaters.
  • The challenges that arise around feeding kids when someone has a complicated relationship with food.
  • The power of letting your kids know that it’s ok to not be ok.
  • Advice for parents who have struggled with an eating disorder and are afraid that their child will also develop an eating disorder.
