The Full Bloom Podcast - body-positive parenting for a more embodied and inclusive next generation

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." Have a listen anywhere you get your favorite podcasts. You can find us at http://fullbloomproject.com and on Instagram @fullbloomproject.

    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.  Read the full show notes for this episode here.

    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.  Read the full show notes for this episode here.

    How can we help victims of weight based bullying?

    Weight-based bullying is brutal and, unfortunately,  pretty common. Despite our best body-positive efforts to protect our kids, young victims still sustain emotional and psychological wounds that can have traumatic, life-long effects. But… there’s hope. New treatment to help bullied youth has emerged and Dr. Janet Lydecker, of Yale’s Teen POWER program, joins for a conversation about the path towards healing…and how parents can help.  Read the full show notes for this episode here.
