MYAt the start of 2025, Hannah set a goal to try 100 foods and explore more food combinations. This year, she exceeded that goal in a big way. On camera alone, she tried 138 new foods. Out of those, she liked 33, and 5 became new safe foods.
Beyond the numbers, this journey sparked so much more curiosity and confidence. Hannah made a huge effort to try new foods in public settings, many of which happened off camera. These moments didn’t always look big, but they were incredibly meaningful. Trying foods away from home, without the pressure of filming, showed just how much her confidence has grown and how willing she has become to challenge herself even when no one else is watching.
This year wasn’t without its challenges. Fires earlier in the year, illness, and multiple wiggly teeth caused setbacks, but they never stopped her. She kept moving forward.
We also made the transition to homeschooling, which has helped her tremendously in many ways and supported her growth both emotionally and physically.
Hannah has also made a conscious effort to expand where she eats. She has begun trying foods at more restaurants, not just the familiar ones she already knows, and has worked toward building comfort in new environments. She also revisited many of the challenging foods she tried in 2024, and incredibly, added five of those to her safe food list this year.
She continues to show up for therapy and make meaningful progress, step by step.
As we look ahead, our hope is that she continues to explore more food combinations, try a wider range of restaurants, and when she feels ready, travel to new places. Each new environment brings its own challenges, but also new opportunities for growth as she continues to build confidence and try more at her own pace.
