This Mother + Holistic RD Talks Nutrition, Eradicating Guilt, And Taking a Momcation!
Episode description
In this episode, we cover:
- Lucy is extremely clear on what it takes to balance running a business AND homeschooling her three kids: delegate, ask for help, and expect your partner to step up. Bonus if you can do those things with minimal guilt and being totally ok with knowing that is what needs to happen to pursue your passion like Lucy does—she is a rockstar!
- We do a deep dive on guilt and why it's so hard to let go of. Lucy shares her tips on sharing the household burden without taking on guilt that she should be doing more by herself (plus a rant by Steph that husbands don't "help/babysit" and that generations of systemic dysfunction around gender roles is what got us into this mess...😉).
- Once again, we get a reminder of how important it is to advocate for your own health and not settle for feeling miserable or unwell. Lucy shares her experience as a dietician in the medical field and how the focus on medication and just accepting conditions disempowers clients from taking charge of their health with nutrition and lifestyle changes.
- As a registered dietician, Lucy has lots of suggestions about reducing processed food and sugar and increasing healthy fats, but her top three tips for moms to incorporate right now are actually mindset shifts rather than nutritional plans: become more aware of what you're eating, start putting yourself first, and ditch the all or nothing mentality. You can do that!
- Lucy took a MOMCATION!! After listening to our episode with Laura (episode 13), she was inspired to take a trip all by herself (with another one planned!). Find out what it took to make that happen, where she went, and what she did: you will be so inspired by her " This is non-negotiable" stance.
