Navigating Parenting Regrets and Family Travel Tips

In this powerful and intimate episode, Dr. Becky shares the never-before-told story behind the original Deeply Feeling Kid (DFK) - her daughter. For the first time, she opens up about what it was really like parenting a child with big emotions: the moments of connection, the moments of struggle, and the internal battles no one else could see.

With raw honesty and deep reflection, Dr. Becky explores how this personal journey challenged her, changed her, and ultimately led to the creation of one of her most impactful parenting programs.

If you’ve ever felt unsure how to show up for your DFK - you’re not alone. This episode is for you.

If your kid melts down quickly, struggles to calm, and avoids talking about feelings, you might be raising a Deeply Feeling Kid. And summer’s lack of structure and sensory overload can push everyone to the edge. Join Dr. Becky’s live DFK workshop at 12pm or 8pm EDT on Wednesday, July 16 (RSVP here). ****Can’t attend live? We’ve got you - the workshop will be recorded and available in the Good Inside member library soon.

Today’s episode is brought to you by Airbnb. Let’s be real: Planning a memorable summer for your kids can get expensive! So if you’re looking for creative ways to make a little extra income this summer, here’s one idea: Start hosting on Airbnb. As parents, we know there’s nothing better than finding a kid-friendly home for a family vacation (read: books, toys, spill-friendly furniture)... so why not share your own place with other families? Hosting can fund your summer fun while giving another family a comfortable place to stay. Talk about a win-win! Your home might be worth more than you think. Find out how much at airbnb.com/host.
