About Me & the Podcast:
I’m Kelly Berthold, a licensed clinical social worker, and I’m passionate about helping others experience well-being and flourishing. I founded Know Your FundaMENTALs to make the science of flourishing accessible and practical for everyone, especially working moms. My goal is to simplify the core principles of well-being and help individuals and families integrate these foundational skills across all areas of life—parenting, relationships, careers, and personal growth.
Through my work, I connect the science and skills of flourishing with real-life applications, empowering people to live their most fulfilling lives. The Know Your FundaMENTALs podcast is where I have meaningful conversations with neighbors and community members about what truly matters to them.
