In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE, Kylie, 33 — who shares kids Finnley, 10 months, Bennett, 2, Elliotte, 4, and Wyatt, 6, with husband Jason Kelce — says she will “lead by example” when it comes to practicing self-love.
“I really try my best to make sure that I speak positively about myself, even on the days that I don’t necessarily feel it,” the Not Gonna Lie podcast host says.
“You can say it as much as you want, but we’re still human, so there are days when I find myself leading by example for our girls, recognizing, like, ‘You know what? I might not feel that way right now, but it is how I should be talking about myself,’ ” Kelce continues.

According to Kelce, “Motherhood has forced me into the idea that I do need to make sure that I’m speaking positively about myself.”
“Because making sure that girls are confident not only sets them up to be happier, but they will also have a more joyful feeling in life, … and that joy can drown out the other mess,” she continues.

“You can build these girls up with confidence so that when some silly person somewhere along their way decides to try and switch up the messaging, they’ve had so much joy just compounded into their ears that it drowns it out and it’s a non-issue, because they’re like, ‘That’s so silly that you said that, but I actually heard [the opposite] so many other times … so it doesn’t matter that you said that,” Kelce further explains.

“Through motherhood, you see how getting that positive messaging across then makes those intrusive and negative thoughts not mean as much,” adds the mom of four.

Kelce, who continues her ongoing partnership with Dove through a commercial that will air during the 2026 Super Bowl, learned her self-love practices through her own life experiences.

When she was younger, Kelce played field hockey, and she tells PEOPLE she was often doubting herself and “fighting against” her own body as a young athlete.
“It seemed like a detriment. It seemed like it was going to make my life harder,” Kelce recalls of thoughts she had about her body at the time, citing her 5’11” height as a major concern.
However, Kelce says, “I quickly started to realize that my body was truly an asset, even in a sport where it didn’t seem that it would naturally be one. I had a reach that nobody else had, a reach that was surprising to opponents, something that they weren’t prepared for, and I had very strong legs, which made my hits unbelievably hard in a way that surprised people.”
