{12.10} Why I Hate 'Family-Friendly' Meals

Have you ever felt like “family-friendly” meals are anything but friendly for your family? In this episode, I dig into the pressure mums face around feeding kids, especially when typical family foods don’t fit with our reality. I’m sharing my journey of navigating picky eaters and the myth of “ideal” meals. We’ll cover:

• What “family-friendly” means and why I struggle with it
• Why it’s easy to feel like you're doing it wrong if you don't follow family friendly meals
• How I’ve swapped perfection for flexibility, creating meal templates that actually work for us
• A sneak peek into my new meal planning guide, built to help you create healthy, adaptable meals without the stress

So if you’re tired of feeling like family meals don’t reflect your family, this is the episode for you. Let’s make mealtime feel less like a battle and more like time well-spent, without guilt or frustration.
