443: Feeding Your Family without Losing Your Mind // Celeste Noland
As school routines settle back in, many moms start looking for a better rhythm with meals—something that feels less chaotic and more doable.
But for many moms (myself included), feeding a family brings up more stress than we’d like to admit. We put so much pressure on ourselves to do it “right,” and when our kids complain or the fridge is empty or we’re too tired to cook, it’s easy to feel like we’re failing. And if you’re dealing with a picky eater (or a few!), that stress can multiply quickly.
If that’s you, I really want you to hear this week’s conversation with my friend and SAM Sister, Celeste Noland. She’s a mom of five with a deeply grounded and grace-filled approach to family meals—and I think her ideas will bring you both relief and fresh energy.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
🍕The surprising connection between food struggles and nervous system dysregulation—and how to create more calm around the table.
🍕 Practical, doable strategies for when you're too burned out to make one more decision about dinner.
🍕Why giving yourself permission to break the rules might be the key to making meals feel joyful again.
Let this episode be your permission slip to make things easier, lighter, and a whole lot more realistic, starting today.
