Did you know not all dietitians are the same? As in, the work they do and what they specialize in can be highly variable and a dietitian is not simply a dietitian. Join Gina and Nicole as they talk through areas of dietetics they work in past and present and talk through the areas of nutrition that they are not a fit for! Because truly, a dietitian is not a dietitian...and we certainly aren't "nutritionists"! ;)

Episode 144 – Intuitive Cooking and Thoughts on “Healthy“ Ingredient Swaps with Colleen Christensen, RDN

Today's show is a part of our once-a-month self-care series where we'll be focusing on a new area of self-care. Or...in today's case, revisiting a big, ever-changing topic: mom guilt. Life gets overwhelming for all of us and the sense of getting lost in a sea of to-do's, worry, and anxiety seems inevitable. Self care can be described as the active process of making your body and mind a pleasant place to inhabit, by filling your own cup up first which ensures you have enough to give others. 

Today we're talking about mom guilt, or perhaps more appropriately, "parent guilt" -- that perpetual feeling that as a parent you're not doing things right or are perhaps making decisions that may negatively impact or affect your child or children. We talk everything from comparing your parenting skills to others to what we feel guilt over -- work, screen time, food, etc! Join for the discussion!
