The Parenting Yourself podcast was created as my final assessment of my master's program. The task was to create a full-fledged nutrition education program. The final product includes a full season of podcast episodes, an Instagram account, an article depicting the rationale for the program from conception to implementation and evaluation, and a video presentation summarizing the main points of the article and "selling" the project. 

​

The purpose of the Parenting Yourself podcast is to provide the "20-something" demographic (those ending college and transitioning into the working world), with information on how to adopt a healthy lifestyle and how everyone's journey is different. This approach was taken to not place a negative "finger-pointing" feeling on the target population.

In the article titled: Parenting Yourself Podcast: Stealth Public Health Approach to Enhance the Health and Longevity for Transitioning College Seniors and Recent College Graduates Through Increasing Healthy Lifestyle Behavioral Habits the three main components of the program: an educational component hearing from experts in the public health and related fields, a communication component through social media (Instagram), and a community mobilization component through the “couch series” peer story episodes and through sharing their story in emails to the host and comments on the Instagram account.
