Hey, everyone. Welcome back to the Maraculous Mama's podcast. I'm your host, Elizabeth Joy,

and we believe in empowering people through storytelling and education. If you're listening,

make sure that you're subscribed and leave us a review. Let me know who you want to hear

and what you want to hear about. And I'll do my best to make that happen. I'm super excited

for today's episode. I have kids eating color on Jennifer Anderson. And it's just such a great

conversation because I feel like there's just again, like that parent overwhelm out there.

I'm like, Oh, I'm feeding my kid food now. What am I supposed to do? Right? Like we don't even

get into like pure rays or baby lead weaning or things like that. I feel like when it comes to

that type of stuff, there's not a right or wrong. You have to do what you're comfortable

So it's it's out of our control a lot of it. But we do talk about what is in our control,

what we can do and try to do what's best for our family. Because there's so much stress

out there. Like what foods am I supposed to get? What foods am I supposed to avoid? Do

I have to do everything organic? What if I can't afford that? What if you know, we, I

don't know. What if we've been doing things one way, but we want to change it up and

start doing things a different way. So, uh, so it's a really good episode. I'm so grateful

for her coming on. I'm going to tell you this before we get into the episode. Because
