"What Can She Have?"

About this episode

Becky Morquecho discusses the challenges of food restrictions and the importance of hospitality in supporting friends with dietary needs.

Today, writer Becky Morquecho joins us to chat about the challenges of food restrictions and what they've taught her about hospitality. She shares the hardships of her daughter's medically necessary strict diet but also encourages us with big and little ways friends make them feel included in the midst of barbecues and birthday parties. Whether you or your child is gluten-free, diabetic, has a dairy or nut allergy, or a rare metabolic disorder like Becky's daughter, we hope this episode says "We see you!" and maybe even inspires you to keep an extra jar of pickles in the fridge for someone you love. This show is brought to you ad-free by our generous Substack community.
