Summary: In this episode Nellie and Linda go beyond the meal planning and mundane feeling so many parents get with dinner time and find the magic in it. Linda Lederman is a genius when it comes to how to bring a family together, and actually look forward to meals together each night, with loads of laughing, conversation and good food! About the Guest: (bio, personal links, resource links) Linda’s cooking skills were so bad, her own family banned her from cooking when she was a teen. Happily, her skills have dramatically improved. She now has over 1000 cookbooks, is a graduate of Rouxbe Cooking School and the Institute of Integrative Nutrition and has countless cooking courses from the International Culinary Center and Natural Gourmet Institute under her belt. She is a kitchen confidence coach and owner of Balaboosta’s Secret where she helps busy moms with meal planning, prep and cooking lessons as well as coaches them on how to serve their delicious dinners with side dishes of games and clever conversations with their family. Stress free cooking tips for maximum flavor, fun and yum. She can be found at BalaboostasSecret.com, on Facebook at Easy Weeknight Dinners for Busy Moms as well as on Instagram @balaboostas.secret. About the Host: (bio, personal links, resource links) Nellie Harden is a wife of 20+ years, mom to 4 teen/tween daughters, dreamer, adventurer, servant, multipreneur, forever student and a devoted teacher, but her ride-or-die passion is her work as a Family Life Coach & Mentor. Coming from a career background in marine mammal sciences, behavioral work and a host of big life experiences, both great and not some not so great, she decided that designing a life of purpose and freedom was how she and her husband, along with their 4 daughters, wanted to live. Her work and passions exist in the realms of family and parent mentorship because she believes that a family filled with creativity, fun, laughter, challenge, adventure, problem-solving, hugs, good food and learning can not only change a person’s life but is the best chance at positively changing the world. She help families build Self-Led Discipline™ & Leadership Into their homes, set their children up for a wildly successful life on their terms and elevates the family experience with big joy, palpable peace and every day growth! With a lifelong passion and curiosity in thought, choice, behavior and growth she has found incredible joy in helping families shift perspective, find answers and a path forward.
