But this isn’t about picky eating—it’s about survival instincts, safety, and learning how to engage the senses in a way that fosters trust and curiosity.In this empowering episode, we move from fear to flavour, exploring trauma-informed, sensory-safe strategies for texture exploration. You'll learn how to honour your loved one’s pace, support their autonomy, and build positive food experiences one step at a time.💡 In this episode, we explore:Why certain food textures trigger fear, not fussinessHow to support texture exploration using play, visuals, and ritualsReal-life stories of courage, breakthrough, and the power of patienceEmotional support tools for caregivers navigating food-related traumaA gentle, sensory-informed framework for mealtime progress✨ Don’t forget to grab your free Texture Exploration Toolkit—along with our other helpful caregiver resources:📘 Gratitude Journal of Light🧠 90 Second Reset Program📝 Mission Statement Guide📓 Journalling Prompts Guide🌿 Join the J and B Oasis Membership Waitlist🧡 Let’s reframe how we think about mealtimes—because progress doesn’t always look like a clean plate.
