  The Picky Eater Playbook with Katie Kimball

  Sep 29, 202638 min

  Is picky eating really about the food? In this episode of Well-Adjusted Mama Podcast, Dr. Laura Brayton sits down with Katie Kimball, the national voice of healthy kids cooking, to talk about helping children build a healthier relationship with food from an early age. Katie is a writer, speaker, former teacher, and mom of four who has dedicated her work to helping families make healthy eating and cooking a practical part of everyday life. She is the founder of Kitchen Stewardship, Kids Cook Real Food, Teens Cook Real Food, the Picky Eater Playbook parent support group, and #LifeSkillsNow. Her work with families navigating picky eating inspired her TEDx talk, "Picky Eating Isn't About the Food," and ultimately led to The Picky Eater Playbook. In this conversation, Dr. Brayton and Katie explore picky eating, how parents can support healthy eating habits early on, and why bringing kids into the kitchen can be about so much more than what ends up on the plate. Cooking can become an opportunity to build confidence, independence, lifelong skills, and connection as a family. If mealtimes have become a struggle in your home, or you simply want to help your children develop a healthier relationship with food, this is an episode you'll want to hear.

  Conscious Motherhood in a Modern World with Amanda Alcorn, Creator of The Embodied Mother

  Aug 18, 202636 min

  What does it mean to be a present, connected mother in a world that constantly asks women to do more, move faster, and give more of themselves? In this episode of The Well-Adjusted Mama, Dr. Laura Brayton sits down with Amanda Alcorn, creator of The Embodied Mother and founder of Wild Uhane, for a meaningful conversation about conscious motherhood, authentic joy, and what it looks like for women to reconnect with themselves while raising and nurturing their families. As a mother of seven, lifelong athlete, children's author, and wellness educator with a Master's Degree in Exercise Science, Amanda brings a unique perspective to motherhood—one that blends science-backed wellness with movement, intentional living, intuitive spirituality, and holistic health. Through her work with The Embodied Mother, Amanda encourages women to move beyond simply getting through the demands of motherhood and instead return to their bodies, their intuition, and their own sense of identity. Her philosophy centers around healing and self-reclamation through presence, movement, nourishment, and deeper connection. Dr. Brayton and Amanda explore what conscious motherhood can look like in everyday life, why caring for yourself and connecting with yourself matters, and how mothers can create space for joy without needing life—or motherhood—to be perfect first. This conversation is an invitation to look at motherhood not only as the experience of raising children, but as an opportunity for growth, reconnection, and transformation for the mother herself. Whether you're navigating the early years of motherhood, raising a large family, feeling disconnected from yourself, or simply longing for more intention and presence in your everyday life, this episode offers a refreshing perspective on what it means to become a more embodied, connected, and joyful mother. In this episode, we explore: Conscious motherhood in today's fast-paced world Reconnecting with yourself beyond the role of "Mom" Creating authentic joy in everyday life The relationship between movement, nourishment, and emotional well-being Intentional living and spiritual connection The importance of presence in motherhood Moving away from perfection and toward connection Self-reclamation throughout the motherhood journey Creating deeper connections within your family Amanda's philosophy behind The Embodied Mother Motherhood asks so much of us — but perhaps becoming more present for our children also begins with learning how to become more present within ourselves. About Amanda Amanda Alcorn is the creator of Wild Uhane (pronounced oo-ha-nay), a wellness and lifestyle brand devoted to helping women reconnect with authentic joy through spiritual connection, intentional living, movement, and motherhood. A lifelong athlete with a Master's Degree in Exercise Science, Amanda combines science-backed wellness with intuitive spirituality and holistic living. She is a mother of seven, a children's author, and the creator of The Embodied Mother, a philosophy centered on supporting women through presence, movement, nourishment, and self-reclamation.
