Katie Kimball in the Media
Katie Kimball, CSME, is an Award-Winning Speaker.
She has been a guest in the media many times, from TV to podcasts to TEDx stages and online publications.
In 2020 her TEDxBismarck talk was cancelled, and she took matters into her own hands to get the message out there. The video below is how she sparked the #KidsMealRevolution DIY-style.
She is available to speak on topics such as:
- The need for a #KidsMealRevolution and how creators and parents can get on board
- Critical thinking skills in children
- Raising Adventurous Eaters: Proven 3-Step Process to End Mealtime Madness and Get Your Kids to Eat Healthy
- Building Connection, Confidence and Creativity in Your Kids Through Healthy Cooking
- Easy recipes (seasonal, topical) families can make together – very good demos and visuals (for TV)
- Practical Guide to Getting Kids in the Kitchen
- Healthy, Holy Kids: How to Feed their Body, Mind and Soul in the Kitchen
- The Less-Sugar Solution for Kids: How to Teach Children to OWN Their Health, Train Their Palates to Appreciate Less-Sweet Foods
- Supercharging Family Dinners to Keep Your Kids on the Right Side of the Statistics / Mindful Eating for Kids
- As a trained elementary school teacher turned cooking instructor online, Katie can lead sessions for kids on everything from having fun in the kitchen with healthy food for preschoolers, to making pancakes and the anatomy of a whole grain for elementary aged kids, to nutrition lessons with memory tricks for upper el/early teens.
- Managing Stress, as a Certified Stress Mastery Educator and member of the American Institute of Stress
