Join the founder of The Full Bloom Project for a regular dose of body-positive parenting wisdom. Zoë Bisbing, LCSW, body-positive psychotherapist and mother of three, brings together diverse experts to connect the dots between research and activism in child and adolescent development, mental and physical health, nutrition, social justice, intersectionality, and eating disorder prevention. Each episode distills everything from scholarly research to self-help books into accessible and digestible daily parenting practices. Together we can create spaces where children of all ages, sizes, and gender expressions can naturally boost immunity to our appearance-obsessed culture, decrease risk for disordered eating and body image injury, and channel their precious resources towards more meaningful purposes; in other words, "fully bloom."

When does my child need a mental health day?
There is no health without mental health, and yet we don’t often think to take our kids (or ourselves!) for mental health check-ups. Pediatric mental health struggles are often overlooked, misunderstood, and stigmatized, but Dr. Helen Eggers is changing that with a new Teletherapy platform for kids and families.

What's the safest way to talk about food and nutrition at school?
We've talked about the well-meaning, yet potentially harmful messages kids hear about food, nutrition, and health in schools...but can we offer more than complaints and concerns? If we're lucky enough to have (or be!) teachers and school administrators who are receptive to making changes, where can we send them for practical, impactful guidance? One place is @Dietitians4teachers, the instagram account run by registered dietitian, Gwen Kostal. Tune in for tons of actionable strategies, compassionate guidance, and an innovation session where Gwen and Zoë noodle over how we can best help school professionals embrace protective, food neutral, food literacy frameworks.

Love it
This podcast is a must listen!!! As someone working with children with the desire to have them one day, this podcast has exponentially improved my ability to interact with kids (and adults) regarding body positivity, food, and stigma. I learn from every episode and really appreciate the array of content provided.
Loved it.
I don’t know how she does it but you can just tell from the tone of Zoe’s voice and the way she engages with kids that she’s a beautiful soul. I am definitely trying this with my children as it not only makes them healthier and more adventurous eaters but also helps them think through ideas that have their root in our senses. The kids seem to understand it. Perhaps Zoe can teach this to College professors next as nothing is in the intellect that wasn’t first in the senses. Please have Leo and Noah on again. They are a dynamic duo. 👏👏👏
