## Resource

If you've ever asked, "What's for dinner?" only to hear everyone answer, "I don't know," you're not alone. This week, we're talking about the mental load of feeding a family, from meal planning and grocery budgets to picky eaters, sensory needs, and the everyday reality of getting food on the table. Join us for an honest conversation filled with practical ideas, plenty of validation, and the reminder that feeding your family doesn't have to be perfect to be enough.
