    Food is more than fuel—it's the foundation of family bonds and cultural heritage. In our conversation with Deborah, we explore how mealtime fosters meaningful relationships. Drawing from her expertise at the Neufeld Institute, she shares insights on transforming family meals into rituals of togetherness and love.

    We discuss how shared meals nurture community, cooperation, and restfulness and the challenges families face in maintaining these traditions. We provide practical steps for integrating shared meals into busy schedules, emphasizing the importance of slowing down and making intentional family connections.

    Listen as we delve into the cultural and relational significance of food. Deborah highlights food as a symbol of care and connection, examining how intentional food preparation and sharing reinforce family bonds and cultural traditions, making mealtime a cherished experience for all.
