The Modern Ancestral Mamas Podcast Corey Dunn and Christine Muldoon

In this episode, Corey and I continue to discuss the subject of school lunches. Check out the first episode in this series with Hilary Boynton. Today we sit down with Aran Goldstein, a passionate chef and devoted parent, who is making a significant impact on the way children experience food at school. Aran, known as the "lunch dad," prepares hot lunches using locally sourced, organic ingredients, following ancestral principles at a Waldorf school in Austin, TX. Aran is a part of the School of Lunch Training Academy and teaches individuals how to make lasting changes in their own school lunches. Fair warning, you will probably be hungry after listening to Aran talk about all the delicious foods he prepares for the kids at his school!

Corey and I wanted to share our thoughts on the three, wonderful episodes we recorded with Mary Ruddick, Deborah Macnamara, and Sally Fallon Morell. We dove into the key takeaways from our conversations with each guest, explored how each episode resonated with our own personal parenting philosophies, and even shared a little behind the scenes snippets. Thank you for joining us on this behind-the-mic journey through our recent episodes. We hope you enjoyed gaining insight into our reflections and perspectives as we navigate the realms of modern parenting and ancestral wisdom. Leave us a review and tell us which was your favorite episode!

In this episode, we interviewed Dr. Deborah MacNamara, author of the book: Nourished–She talks about how food has been divorced from connection and it was never meant to be this way. In today’s society, we are worrying too much about WHAT to feed our families and forgetting to focus on our relationships. If you are a mama struggling with obsessing over what to feed your child, this episode is a breath of fresh air and will empower you to feel confident in your choices and know that your relationship with your child supersedes the food they are eating. This episode is a must-list and we think the combination of Mary Ruddick’s episode and this one complement each other perfectly.
