Words of Wellness with Shelly
Special Episode with Shelly's Husband Brad: We Gather, We Laugh, We Choose Gratitude
In this brief special episode, Shelly sits down for a cozy Thanksgiving chat with her husband Brad, and their scene‑stealing pup, Charlie, to reflect on the kind of traditions that they share as a family with their three children; cooking together, laughing often, and always choosing to love one another in addition to liking each other. Together, they share openly and honestly what they are grateful for and it always comes back to family time. The message always comes back to gratitude and how simple moments and spending time together helps a family reset and focus on what is most important in life.
We also get clear on the mission behind Words of Wellness: cut through the noise and deliver one useful nugget you can use today. With 35+ years in health education, Shelly brings a grounded approach to fitness, food, sleep, and mental well‑being, while highlighting the stories and strategies that help listeners build sustainable habits. The heart of this episode is connection—how shared meals, consistent plans, and gentle humor create psychological safety and genuine joy during the holidays.
For moms looking for steady support, we introduce the Moms Who Flourish mentorship launching in January: weekly sessions, guest coaches, comprehensive wellness topics, plus Black Friday bonuses, $300 off registration, and lifetime access to future programs and events.

We all joke around, have fun, we rag on each other, and we all, you know, enjoy each other. So it's kind of a tradition that we all always get together for holidays, I think.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, I love that. I I love that too, that the kids like coming home and they like being home. That always makes me happy. And you're totally right. I feel like we do just kind of like jump right back in and mess with each other and laugh and have have fun, and that's that's what it's all about. So that's really special that we have that. So you're absolutely right on that. Do you get confused by all of the information that bombards us every day on ways to improve our overall health and our overall wellness? Do you often feel stuck, unmotivated, or struggle to reach your wellness goals? Do you have questions as to what exercises you should be doing, what foods you should or shouldn't be eating, how to improve your overall emotional and mental well-being? Hello everyone. I am so excited to welcome you to Words of Wellness. My name is Shelley Jeffries, and I will be your host. My goal is to answer these questions and so much more. To share tips, education, and inspiration around all of the components of wellness through solo and guest episodes. With 35 plus years as a health and wellness professional, a retired college professor, a speaker, and a multi-passionate entrepreneur, I certainly have lots to share. However, my biggest goal and inspiration in doing this podcast is to share the wellness stories of others with you. To bring in guests who can share their journey so that we can all learn together while making an impact on the health, the wellness, and lives of all of you, our listeners. The ultimate hope is that you leave today with even just one nugget that can enhance the quality of your life, and that you will, we all will, now and into the future, live our best quality of lives full of energy, happiness, and joy. Now let's dive into our message for today. Hello, everyone, and welcome back to Words of Wellness. My name is Shelly, and I'm your host, and we have a special episode this evening with a couple special guests. Charlie, our pup, and then my hubby Brad. And we thought we would hop on and just do a short Thanksgiving episode and just chat a little bit. He had the idea of coming on and being on the podcast. And I thought it would be fun for us to do a short episode for all of you and talk a little bit about Thanksgiving and what we are grateful for this holiday season. And so, what are you grateful for?
SPEAKER_02:I am grateful for my family and Charlie.
SPEAKER_00:Hi, Charlie, Charlie. And that is what I am grateful to for as well. We have our boys who traveled here from far, and they are they are in town and they just went down to see our daughter. And uh they're gonna all come back up home tomorrow. So when you are all listening to this, I don't know if it will be before Thanksgiving or after, but we just wanted to hop in here and say hello and wish everyone a healthy, happy Thanksgiving. And what else do we want to say? Any special traditions that we do? We do some things for Christmas, but what about Thanksgiving?
SPEAKER_01:I won't say Charlie's a camera hog. Look at Charlie.
SPEAKER_00:He is a camera hog.
SPEAKER_01:Charlie loves people.
SPEAKER_00:I think the main what is the main I think the main tradition for for Thanksgiving is our cooking, right?
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, I I would say that uh what one of the cool things about our family is that everybody likes each other, even though we have disagreements about whether it's politics or sports or economy or whatever, but everybody gets along, everybody enjoys each other. Like the two boys are going down to see Jess. And you know, when we come home, we all it's almost like we've never left. We all joke around, have fun, we rag on each other, and we all you know enjoy each other. So it's kind of a tradition that we all always get together for holidays, I think.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, I love that. I I love that too, that the kids like coming home and they like being home. That always makes me happy. And you're totally right. I feel like we do just kind of like jump right back in and mess with each other and laugh and have have fun, and that's that's what it's all about. So that's really special that we have that. So you're absolutely right on that. And I guess like normal, not everybody's gonna always agree on on things. And uh, I don't know what Charlie's doing down there, trying to get attention as always.
SPEAKER_02:Attention, yeah. As soon as the camera's on or somebody's talking on a FaceTime, Charlie jumps in the middle of it. He wants to be in the middle of it. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:So yeah, so that's about it. We just wanted to hop on, and I think that's is a special thing. And I hope that all of you have loved ones in your life, whether it be family or friends that you're spending the holidays with and Thanksgiving with. And yeah, so that's about it. Anything else to add?
SPEAKER_02:No, we're just grateful that um we all get along and we have the holidays and everybody's healthy, and we still, you know, celebrate you know, being um you know, a family that uh still enjoys each other. So we go on family vacations, we have Christmas, Thanksgiving, we all plan on that stuff. So we're just thankful that that happens.
SPEAKER_00:That's a perfect way to finish because I am very thankful as well that we like you said, we we enjoy each other, not just we love each other, but we all like each other and enjoy being around each other, and that's that's huge, and that has always been really special, and I've always been so grateful for that. So I completely agree. So, with that being said, everyone, hope you have a beautiful, blessed Thanksgiving. And who knows, maybe we'll uh make a habit of doing this and have have have you on as my guest. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone.
SPEAKER_02:Happy Thanksgiving.
