Good Inside with Dr. Becky

• Compassion Isn’t Dangerous

  We’ve been taught to fear compassion. That if we’re too soft, our kids will be too weak—unable to handle the “real world.” But what if that’s exactly backwards?In this episode, Dr. Becky flips the script on one of parenting’s biggest myths: that compassion makes kids fragile. She shows how the compassion we offer our kids becomes the model for how they treat themselves—teaching them self-compassion, emotional regulation, and real resilience.If you’ve ever worried that being too gentle means you’re doing it wrong, this episode is your permission to rethink everything—and your guide to raising emotionally sturdy, grounded kids.Get the Good Inside App by Dr. Becky: https://bit.ly/4fSxbzkFollow Dr. Becky on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drbeckyatgoodinsideSign up for our weekly email, Good Insider: https://www.goodinside.com/newsletterFor a full transcript of the episode, go to goodinside.com/podcast.Today’s episode is brought to you by Airbnb.

• F*ck Around and Find Out Parenting

  “F*ck Around and Find Out” parenting—what even is that?! This week, Dr. Becky dives into the rise of the FAFO parenting trend. Why is this approach gaining traction in the age of gentle parenting? Is it a pushback against gentle or intensive parenting? A response to the burnout many millennial parents are feeling? Or has it always been around, just under a different name? Dr. Becky explores what makes this trend so compelling and what it might reveal about us as parents today.Sometimes FAFO parenting comes up when our kids are in a bad place with bad behavior. If you can relate, then you won't want to miss "Why Is Everything a Battle?"

• Don’t Pardon Me, I’m an Inconvenient Woman

  In this follow-up to last week’s Calling All “Good Girls” episode, Dr. Becky dives deeper into embracing the role of the “inconvenient woman.” What begins with a simple “I want my coffee my way” moment evolves into a powerful realization: Identifying, owning, and articulating our desires as women can be incredibly uncomfortable. Dr. Becky encourages all self-identifying “Good Girls” to reflect on what they truly want for themselves and to embrace the inconvenience that comes with pursuing it.Do you want to learn more about how we're celebrating being an inconvenient woman at Good Inside?
