Ep 83 with Sumner Brooks
Disrupting Transgenerational Disconnection with Sumner Brooks
How to Raise an Intuitive Eater is the book the world needs, now more than ever. Truthfully, we’ve needed it for years and thank goodness it’s here, written by two fabulous authors, Sumner Brooks and Amee Severson.
In this conversation, we talk about why this topic and why now, and Sumner’s hopes about what parents will take away from reading the book. We discuss the reality of doing the hard work of unlearning and what is asked of parents and adults when we both have to do our own work alongside guiding and providing an environment where young people can thrive.
