Description

Be Well By Kelly is on a mission to simplify the science of nutrition. I want to make choices, not cheats. I want to live in balance, quiet my inner perfectionist, and never feel like my goals are out of reach. I want to love the way I look AND feel. I want to be proactive about my long-term health and wellness. I want to have a positive relationship with food for the rest of my life. And I want the same for all of you! Join me and some of my favorite people every Wednesday as we give you all the good stuff (and none of the bad) about nutrition: the positive takeaways, the tools and tips that will help you feel and be well, and a dose of motivation to keep you going.

390: The Parenting Advice That Changed How I Raise My Kids
2026/06/24
As a mom of three boys, one of the questions I think about most is: how do we raise healthy, resilient kids in a world that feels increasingly complicated? In this special compilation episode, I’m revisiting some of my favorite conversations about parenting, emotional health, food, independence, and resilience. These discussions have shaped the way I approach motherhood and have given me practical tools that I come back to again and again. You’ll hear from Dr. Lauren Hartman on helping kids develop a healthy relationship with food and their bodies, Devon Kuntzman on understanding toddler behavior and responding with connection instead of reaction, Lenore Skenazy on why independence is one of the greatest gifts we can give our children, and Nicole Runyon on setting boundaries that foster confidence, resilience, and emotional strength. No matter what stage of parenting you're in, I hope these conversations remind you that raising healthy kids isn't about perfection, it's about showing up with consistency, presence, and trust. → Leave Us A Voice Message!  Topics Discussed: → How can parents reduce childhood anxiety? → What are signs of resilient children? → How do you avoid parenting power struggles? → How do kids develop healthy self-esteem? → What creates emotional resilience in children?
