The Intentional Table
Feeding kids isn’t just about what’s on the plate - it’s about raising them to feel confident, capable, and at peace with food and their bodies.
The Intentional Table Podcast is here to help you break the cycles of guilt, shame, and mealtime stress so you can raise kids who eat well and feel good about it.
Hosted by Nicole Cruz, a registered dietitian and mom of three who has coached thousands of parents, this podcast gives you the tools, structure, and mindset shifts to create a positive, empowered eating environment at home.
With guidance, compassion, and strategies that really work, you’ll feel more confident and less stressed while supporting your kids through 'picky' eating, 'overeating', struggles with sweets, and everything in between.

Why Your Feeding Strategies Aren't Working (and How to Fix It)
If you’ve tried all the things... read the books, followed the advice on social media, tried recommendations from your pediatrician or best friend - yet mealtimes still feel tense or unpredictable, or you're concerned about what or how your child's eating...
You’re not necessarily doing it wrong - you’re likely just missing a few key pieces.
In this episode, we're bringing everything together to show you why the feeding strategies you’ve been trying might not be working - and what’s missing to make them click.
You’ll learn about the three essential elements every child needs for a healthy, confident relationship with food and how they come together to create an empowered eating environment so your child can eat well and feel good about food.
If you’ve ever wondered:
- “Why won't my child try anything new?”
- “Why do sweets feel so out of control?”
- “What boundaries do I hold without creating power struggles?”
…then this episode is for you.
You’ll walk away with a clear picture of what makes feeding work and how to build the environment your child needs to eat in a balanced way without creating guilt or shame.
