Revisiting Parenting Boundaries with Dr. Becky Kennedy

Sometimes the best conversations are the ones you go back to again and again, and this week, we are revisiting a conversation with Dr. Becky Kennedy - clinical psychologist, mom of three, TIME Magazine's "Millennial Parenting Whisperer", and founder of the Good Inside platform. At the time, I had discovered her work on Instagram during the pandemic, and her way of rethinking parenting was both eye-opening and grounding. We spoke about so many timeless topics: setting boundaries with our anxiety, helping kids sleep on their own, how to argue in front of kids in a healthy way, and what to do when you catch yourself repeating patterns you don't want to pass down. Listening back now, several years later, I feel the power of this conversation in a whole new way. Sonny is at a completely different age and stage, and so many of the strategies Dr. Becky shared hit me differently this time around. It's a reminder that parenting wisdom grows with us - what resonates in one season of life takes on new meaning in the next. Whether you heard this episode years ago, or you're brand new to Dr. Becky's work, you'll walk away with simple, actionable tools to feel sturdier and more confident as a parent.
