It’s Foster Care Awareness Month, so this week on The Whole View, we tap into Stacy’s expertise as a foster parent and discuss the foster care system, destigmatizing and busting stereotypes while also acknowledging the room for improvement and easy ways for everyone to contribute. Given our podcast is centered on health and wellness for everyone, I found it very compelling to discuss Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, not just relevant to foster kids but to all of us. I learned so much during this episode and I so appreciate Stacy for helping to build awareness through education!

The Weekly Serving Matrix is very helpful! I’ve been eating along these lines but this really helps me know where to focus vs. which foods serve a more secondary role. It’s super helpful and has taken a lot of worry out of my meal planning. Thanks!
