Look for that new parenting book to launch in Winter of 2022 and click here to stay updated for the book release. So who is Katie, exactly? A mom of six with a background in journalism, Katie took health into her own hands and started researching to find answers to her health struggles. Her research turned into a blog and podcast, and she’s now written over 1,500 blog posts, three books, and was named one of the 100 most influential people in health and wellness. When she’s not reading medical journals, creating new recipes, or recording podcasts, you can find her somewhere outside in the sun with her husband (who she met walking across the country) and kids or undertaking some DIY remodeling project. Obligatory additional unrelated randomness: doula, speed-reader, hates bananas, loves baseball, scuba-diver, INTJ, highly experienced in answering the question, “why.” In this episode, you'll discover: -Katie describes her children, and why she's proud of them... -Elements of Katie's parenting style that are unique... -Indispensable resources for Katie's parenting approach... -Most important rituals and routines for Katie's family... -Katie's parenting mentors... -What Katie teaches her children about raising their own children... -Katie's philosophy on educating her kids... -What Katie wishes she had known before becoming a parent... -Dealing with "imposter syndrome" as a parent... -Mentoring children without living vicariously through them... -What Katie would change as a parent if she could do it again... -Differing from the spouse on parenting principles and techniques... -Balancing parenting responsibilities with business and self-care... -Teaching children how to use social media and technology responsibly... -And much more...
