We return to part 2 of our Please Explain Intuitive Eating episodes to talk with Meredith Alvarez, mom of three, and Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor (CIEC) and a Certified LEAP Therapist (CLT) as well as a member of the International Association of Eating Disorder Professionals. We go deep about family nutrition, how to handle picky eaters, kids who over eat, kids who don't eat, how we can model good eating patterns as moms, and how we're maybe just overthinking it all. Her ideas and philosophy may surprise you! Spoiler alert: maybe serve dessert first a few times.

If you haven't listened to Episode 61, we encourage you to go back and listen to our discussion about intuitive eating and how it can help us have more compassion for ourselves as women and moms.

Enjoy!

**************

Shayna and Tracey have been friends since the 8th grade – that’s over 25 years. After college, they each moved to separate coasts for a decade. They were reunited when they decided to leave big city life and settle down with their families in Denver, Colorado and Facebook told them their daughters are 3 weeks apart. After several play dates, some more childbirth, some unsuccessful pumping, and the overwhelming nature of mommy community boards, The Pump and Dump Show was born.

The show launched in 2012 in a bar in Northwest Denver and quickly grew to a bi-monthly, local staple for new moms to have a night out. In 2014, Shayna and Tracey took The Pump and Dump Show on its first national tour, and in September of 2019 The Pump and Dump Show expanded with more casts of real moms who continue to perform every month to audiences nationwide.
