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...

| 0:00.0 | My name is Ben Greenfield and on this episode of the Ben Greenfield Life Podcast. |
| 0:04.2 | Vulnerability is often an antidote to a posture syndrome. |
| 0:07.0 | I also think some element of imposter syndrome is natural and something that we haven't fully mastered |
| 0:11.5 | and I don't think we can ever fully master parenting because it's a lifetime journey. |
| 0:14.6 | Getting to see them work together on that. Those are really the moments that I get to just sit back |
| 0:19.2 | and smile and be deeply in gratitude. But I try very hard to really nurture that even if it takes |
| 0:23.9 | longer it makes it more frustrating for me and this is paid dividends with the older kids who are |
| 0:28.1 | so-so self-sufficient and take ownership of almost all aspects of their life. |
| 0:35.9 | Faith, family, fitness, health, performance, nutrition, longevity, ancestral living, |
| 0:44.4 | biohacking and a whole lot more. Welcome to the show. |

| 1:09.2 | The book is called Boundless Parenting. You can check it out at boundlessparentingbook.com. But as a |
| 1:13.8 | part of the book, I'm interviewing several dozen of the most amazing parents from around the globe |
| 1:20.0 | and sharing their deep wisdom and deep advice within this book. It's kind of like a tribe of mentors |
| 1:26.9 | or tools of tightness type of book. If you're familiar with either of Tim Ferris' excellent titles, |
| 1:31.6 | but all based on parenting, family, legacy and the like. My guest on today's show is Katie Wells, |
| 1:39.6 | who's also known as the Wellness Mama. Her ideas related to parenting are astounding and super |
| 1:45.6 | interesting and of course can be featured in the upcoming book, but she actually recorded some |
| 1:52.0 | of her replies for you and it was just so good and so compelling I want to release it for today's |
| 1:58.3 | show. All the show notes, you can find it, BenGreedfieldLife.com, slash Wellness Mama. The book, |
| 2:03.6 | again, is at boundlessparentingbook.com. Now, Katie Wells is a mom of six with the background |
