About Our Guest
As founder of UltimateParenting.Com, Kelly Nault-Matzen provides effective and fun parenting education. Kelly is a popular and entertaining guest on radio stations across the Nation and has become a regular parenting expert for stations such as Rochester 98PXY. She is regularly quoted by the media and is a parenting expert for clubmom.com. Across North America, she regularly facilitates workshops for parents and corporate audiences.
After receiving her Master’s in Counseling Psychology, Kelly completed a pre-doctoral counseling internship and became a Family Clinical Counselor. Kelly’s contagious zest-for-life, and effective communication strategies have helped thousands of families and they keep coming back for more. Why? Because with over a dozen years experience in the “parenting trenches,” Kelly empowers parents with simple tools that take the guess work out of parenting and brings out the best in both parents and their children.
Kelly specializes in teaching moms how to get more “mom time” so they have more to give to their families. “Self-care should not be a luxury. It needs to become a necessity for being a good mom and a healthy and balanced woman,” states Kelly. Instead, she recommends, “Parents put some of their own self care first, so they have a ‘self’ left to give their children. It is essential that we model for our children what it means to be a happy and healthy adult - not a stressed out frazzled one!”

Our Favorite Ultimate Mom Tips
Choose a jar, box or special wallet that you will call your “Ultimate Mom
Luxury Account.” The money that will be placed here is for the sole purpose of buying
little luxuries for yourself. Where will this money come from? Anytime you consciously save money (skip the coffee, find a meter that is paid or quit smoking), “deposit” this saved amount into your luxury account. Once a month, spend whatever is in your
account on a gift for you that will bring you joy. Only use the cash you have put aside,
as these purchases are to be entirely guilt-free!
Make a “Self Care Treasure Chest” in which you list 50 things that make you happy! Share them with your spouse and kids so everyone knows “when mama ain’t happy”, she needs to get into her treasure chest and choose something to do for herself that is energizing, meaningful and even stress-reducing. Read our blog for our top ten treasure chest items!
