Be Less Petty: Day 3
Channel: Be less Petty with Kellye Howard
Date: 2018-12-03

Hi! I am Kellye Howard and this is Be Less Petty. Holidays are the perfect time of the year to clear the tension between family members. Have you ever heard the saying "You get more bees with Honey then you do with Vinegar." (My mom would say this all the time) Well I think that means people are warmer when treated nicely even if you have MAJOR issues with a family member you know you'll have to see over the holidays. Be less Petty and manage your expectations ahead of time. 

Do the work mentally first, therefore you can set yourself up for success. If being nice doesn't help, you have the pleasure of looking down on them because clearly you're the bigger person. Let them rot in their anger (I'm still petty...I'm trying tho. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ that's why I'm doing this!) 

Welcome to Be less Petty TV,  I'm Kellye Howard and this is my channel. I am a very open, vulnerable, and honest person. My goal is to bring awareness, positive energy, and creativity to various topics such as: parenting, living with a chronic illness, and overcoming extreme loss. 

Life can seem too big to digest, but in my view, life is just clusters of petty issues appearing bigger than they are. Perception is key on Be less Petty TV, and I'm hoping to give you a different perspective to consider.

Now here's more about me:

I was born on September 29th (yes, Libra), I was raised in Harvey, IL. and began my stand-up comedy career in 2006 after studying acting at Columbia College Chicago. I am an alumni of Second City Improv having graduated from the conservatory in 2016. 

Widely known for my stand up comedy, I've been featured on Comedy Central, NBC, JFL Montreal, Nickelodeon and more. 

As an actress, I've costarred on NBC's Empire (Season 6) and Chicago Fire (Season 8), and currently airing in a national commercial for Humira. 

Be Less Petty is also a podcast series: "Be less Petty about Relationships," cohosted by my adorable husband. It's has some great tips and tools we currently use to help our marriage continue to flourish and strengthen to this day.  

My husband and I are in a blended marriage, we were both single parents raising 8-year-old daughters when we met; now they are 19. Crazy!
