Trying to get kids to eat healthy shouldn’t feel like a daily war zone.

In this episode, I sit down with Deirdre Doyle from The Cool Food School, who works with schools, libraries and communities helping kids fall in love with food — without threats, bribes or stress.

We talk about:

  • Why kids reject vegetables in the first place

  • How repeated exposure (not pressure) builds healthy habits

  • Why cooking with kids is one of the most powerful life skills

  • How to play the long game with food and win

This is practical, hopeful, and very doable, especially for parents who feel like they’ve “tried everything.
