1. Momming and Multiplying 🌟
The Question: “Kelly, do you want more kids? I’m on the fence myself, and I know you’ve got a lot on your plate with two little ones and a business to run!”
The Answer: Oh, honey, welcome to the “is it crazy to want more kids?” club. Right now, I’ve got a 4-year-old son and a 20-month-old daughter, and let me tell you—it’s chaos. Absolute chaos. My house looks like it’s been through a toddler-level tornado, and I’ve had to dial down my love for clean, orderly spaces. My mantra? Go with the flow, even if that flow is sticky from peanut butter and mystery spills.
But yes, somewhere in my heart, I do want more kids. Crazy, right? I grew up knowing what it’s like to lose a sibling, and I have this aching sense of wanting a big, bustling family for my kids. And as soon as there’s a routine I can work with (and some sanity left to speak of), that’ll be the day we seriously consider it. Until then, though, I’m happy living in this beautiful, messy mayhem with my little ones.
2. No Spritz, Please, I’m Rebranding 🥂
The Question: “Do you drink? I feel like I eat all the things when I do, and the next-day feelings are a real thing.”
The Answer: You’re not alone in that! Here’s my story—I officially stopped drinking on July 2nd, 2023. Just two Aperol Spritzes had me riddled with anxiety on the car ride home, and I thought, “What am I doing?!” So that was it for me, and honestly? No one cared that I stopped. It turns out this pressure to be “fun” and “cool” is often more in our heads than in our friend group’s.
Since then, my anxiety has quieted down, I sleep like a baby, and my mornings are less about greasy food “recovery” and more about chasing my actual children. It’s a win-win, and the best part? I’m finally free to decide based on what I want, not what’s expected. And so far, it’s a “leave it” phase. But never say never; I might come back to a glass someday. For now, I’m all about clarity over cocktails.
3. Anxiety, Therapy, and My Reel-Worthy Life 😅
The Question: “Can you talk more about your anxiety? I deal with it too.”
The Answer: Oh, absolutely! Anxiety and I go way back, from family trauma to health anxieties about my kids. If my husband takes five extra minutes to return from the grocery store, my mind immediately writes a disaster movie. Cue the therapy. Yes, I have an amazing therapist who gets it—and she’s taught me grounding exercises, meditation, and the importance of strength training for my mind. Strength training isn’t just good for the body; it’s one of my best anxiety busters.
And let’s not forget my biggest anxiety upgrade: stop scrolling. Every reel seems to scream, “Cherish every second, your kids will be 18 tomorrow!” And just like that, my heart’s racing. It’s so important to disconnect from this reel-perfect world and reconnect with real life—flaws, tantrums, peanut butter smears, and all.
So there you have it, my friends. From mom guilt and Aperol Spritz epiphanies to rethinking anxiety triggers, this episode has been a rollercoaster of realness. If you want to chat more, you know where to find me—just drop a DM or email. Until then, stay fabulous and keep giving yourself grace. We’re all in this beautiful mess together!
