Well cut. Hi and welcome. In this episode of Talking with Emma, I'm hosting an amazing guest. I'm so excited to have her here. Una Hanson is going to talk to us about parenting. in the age of Ozempik. And I wanna say up front that this is a hopeful and practical episode. I published an episode about weight loss drug marketing in mid-May with Louise Adams. That was about the kind of the power of the marketing and the extent of it. And if you haven't listened to that, go and find it after listening to this. But this episode isn't about the enormity of the marketing. marketing machine that we were talking about in that episode. This episode is about how can we operate within a world that is talking about these drugs everywhere.
How can we operate as parents and as individuals? My name's Emma Wright. I'm a certified cognitive behavioral coach and an intuitive eating coach. I have a master's degree grounded in feminist theory. And after years of trying to feel better by making myself thinner and controlling what I ate, I decided to put all that behind me and learn how to live fully and feel good on the inside, regardless of how my body looked on the outside. And I have made it my mission to help high achieving women like so many of you who are listening to live confidently, feel worthy, and know you are good enough right now in today's body. Okay, fabulous people. Let's get into it. Body image and parenting. For both parenting of younger and older kids is a topic that for many of us women who have had a challenging relationship with our body and food.
can find super challenging and triggering. And in the age of Ozempic, Well, add the age of Ozempic into that whole mix and it's even more challenging. And for that fact alone, it's worth having more conversations about it, which is why I've invited Una to talk to us today. Welcome, Una. It's great to have you here. Please introduce yourself to the listeners.
Emma, thank you for having me. Yes, my name is Una Hansen. I'm an educator and parent coach based in Los Angeles, California. And my passion is helping parents raise kids who feel good in their own skin. And have a healthy relationship with food and exercise and their body. And I work with parents and guardians around the world uh who you know maybe they're They want to prevent an issue. It's something that they had in their own history and they know this could be coming for their own child just because of the world we're in. I also work with parents who are navigating eating disorder treatment for their child. Helping them find the right treatment, getting the right education. In more of an ongoing way with families whose kids are in eating disorder treatment, who need
more regular support and coaching around how to help their child recover because contrary to the myths that blame parents for eating disorders, um, we actually know that parents can be s as you know, I I know you know all about this as well. Um that parents can really be a huge uh source of support for recovery and really make all the difference. So yeah, I kind of work with three different types of parents and I write about these topics any chance I get because I really think that Parents can make a big difference when it comes to these huge cultural forces. It feels like The world is really, really hard if you want your kid to feel good about their body, but the world of your own home is a place where you have a lot of influence.
Um, but you maybe need a little bit of support and information to feel confident in how you how you do that.
