| 0:00.0 | The following podcast is a deer media production. |
| 0:03.1 | Freckled Foodie fam, I love today's episode because we touch on so many different things. |
| 0:08.2 | And sometimes I feel like my episodes are either geared towards parents or geared towards |
| 0:14.6 | like younger listeners or whatever. And this one touches on honestly both in such an important |
| 0:21.8 | way. Anicia Anya is a friend of mine who I've met through Instagram, but that actually had |
| 0:26.8 | never met in person. This is our first time actually meeting a person which we talk about |
| 0:29.9 | how wild that is because I feel like we've been communicating via Instagram for so long. |
| 0:35.2 | But she has created this incredible new company called Kids Table that is focused on helping |
| 0:41.2 | kids have a seat at the table and have fun during dinner time and eat delicious food. |
| 0:45.8 | And it's really the first of its kind specifically in New York and the food is so good. |
| 0:51.6 | Liam is a huge fan. I say it's in the episode, but Joe also and I like we will eat the meals |
| 0:56.6 | that he has because they're so freaking good. But I love what we talk about in this one because we |
| 1:01.2 | go into how important food is in the family and especially like giving the kids freedom in a sense |
| 1:09.3 | of like exploring new things and having fun with what they're eating and enjoying different types |
| 1:15.4 | of flavors and all of those things and really giving the kids the ability to be treated like adults |
| 1:23.2 | and humans. And then we also talk about how important it is to celebrate your own wins, especially |
| 1:28.8 | wins that aren't what we're typically seeing celebrated by societal standards such as getting |
| 1:35.0 | engaged, getting married, having kids like celebrating the small wins and celebrating the big |
| 1:40.5 | wins no matter what they are. So I hope everyone enjoys this episode as much as I did and without |
| 1:45.6 | further ado, here is Anicia. |
| 1:48.3 | Anicia I'm really excited to have you and it's weird actually this is our first time meeting, |
| 2:16.6 | isn't it? Yes, like in person, which feels weird. Yes, because we've been friends. |
