Corinne Crossley and Jessica Foley introduce the Momma Bites! podcast. We discuss why we're passionate about helping moms find ways to take care of themselves, and our frustrations at the lack of resources for moms seeking to feed themselves mindfully and intuitively. Jess lets us know how she started working with moms and Corinne tells the 'goldfish story' that started it all. We end the same way we end every show -- chatting about our favorite kid foods.

Episode 00: Who are we?

We talk with Aaron Flores, RD on the challenges of mindful and intuitive eating while being a dad. He discusses his evolution as an intuitive eater while raising intuitive eater, and how feeding his kids forced him to face down food biases he didn't realize he had. Special to this interview is his perspective on diet culture, fat phobia, and fix-it mentalities within male culture. He even takes our favorite question and re-frames it into something totally different.  And find out why we'll be toasting this interview with sushi, donuts, and Cinnamon Toast Crunch.
