Meal planning doesn’t have to feel overwhelming, rigid, or like another thing on your already full plate.
In this guest episode, Vanda is joined by Jenny Eden Berk, eating psychology coach, culinary nutritionist, and bestselling author of The Body Image Blueprint, for a refreshing conversation about making meal prep easier, more flexible, and more enjoyable—especially for busy families.
Together, they dive into:
- How to simplify meal planning by pre-deciding decisions instead of relying on willpower at 4 p.m.
- Practical strategies for meal prep when time, energy, and motivation are low
- How to plan and prep meals when you’re navigating picky eaters, sensory sensitivities, or different dietary needs within one household
- Ways to reduce mental load using tools like meal “kits,” sauces, and flavor profiles
- Why mindset matters just as much as organization when it comes to consistent meal prep
- How to make the kitchen a more supportive, enjoyable space—for you and your kids
Jenny also shares her favorite tools for mindful meal planning, including containers, kitchen shortcuts, and how involving kids in the process can actually make meals easier over time. Plus, she introduces a powerful recipe and meal-planning resource designed to help you cut down on decision fatigue and build meals around your real-life needs.
If meal prep has felt stressful, all-or-nothing, or simply unsustainable, this episode will help you rethink the process in a way that feels doable, nourishing, and supportive of your nervous system.
Listen in for practical tips you can start using this week to make easy meal prep work for your life—not against it.
