    She’s pushing membership
    I love Dr. Becky. I recently found out she moved a bunch of amazing topics to a members only exclusive podcast only. This is so frustrating because sure she has to make money, but really? Taking away free resources to push your agenda. So disappointing. Still love her content but disappointed.

    Why do you to talk like that?
    The advice is fine, but I couldn’t stand being talked to like I was a CHILD! And also the White millennial overly casual tone just becomes so annoying, it’s fine to talk to your friends that way but I found it hard to listen to from a professional podcast.

    Missing episodes
    I have always given Dr. Becky 5/5 stars But after she got popular, she took AWAY episodes from this free podcast. And now you have to PAY for her membership to listen to them. I often recommend people to come here for a specific episode, only for them to find you now have to pay to listen to it. Why take away free episodes and now make people pay for them? Their response via email “Our podcast feed had gotten a little unruly, so in an effort to curate it, we picked a few of our must listen episodes from the back catalog for everyone to enjoy. We will continue to rotate these episodes as the season unfolds.”

    Has changed how I parent
    What else do I say!? Literally has evolved how I engage with my child, the students I work with, and my family/friends
  • pisceswithproud
    Great for elementary
    Love the podcast but would be great if there was more episodes on teenagers. The website of dr Becky has some workshops but that’s different than a podcast. The website also doesn’t give details to contact the team in this subject. Otherwise very informative. Read the book and frequently listen to the podcast.

    Where are the previous episodes
    I used to love this podcast. But why would you take the previous episodes off the show?!
  • Ginaducharme
    Sad how it’s changed.
    I used to love this podcast however this podcast has changed. It has become an ad for her membership and honestly feels manipulative. The episode will identify the issue you are struggling with or are looking for guidance on but instead of actually having a discussion or giving any advice, it always end with a “join my membership for more on this” type mantra. It’s such a shame because I loved this podcast and her book.
  • KMCrossss
    Too much self-promotion
    Could be an excellent podcast if most of it wasn’t just a big ad for her app, events, and other subscriptions.

    Pediatrician recommended
    Ours child’s pediatrician recommended the Good Inside book and podcast, and it has been such a game changer for our *deeply feeling kid* Thank you!

    Discussion with Johnathan Haidt 10/10
    Just finished listening to the discussion with you and Jonathan Haidt regarding the anxious generation and what we can do about it. I am so motivated and inspired! My kids are years away from this phase, but knowing how much work is going into creating Phone -free schools and encouraging childhood independence and a return to play based childhood gives me hope. This awareness also makes me reflect on my own phone use and social media use in my frustration tolerance and how I feel about risk. These conversations are so important and I thank you so much for putting this conversation onto this podcast platform to be shared publicly!

    Removes episodes
    Dr. Becky has blown up, and well-deserved. Her content and delivery is amazing but because of this she has made it difficult to be a continued supporter. Episodes have been removed from her podcast and now if you want to listen to any past ones you need to subscribe to her app for 80 bucks every 3 months. For someone who just wants to listen to the podcasts not only is the cost up there but having to go to a separate app and maneuver through to look for a particular podcast is really inconvenient instead of coming where all my podcasts are and scrolling through the list. Please separate your podcasts from your app 🙏🏻

    My new favorite!
    I found Dr. Becky on Instagram through her reels and boy am I happy I did. I immediately started listening to her podcast and it’s my new favorite. Everything she says is so easily digestible learnable and implementable. I’ve become a better mom just by listening to her free content here. thank you so much Dr. Becky you are a gift.
  • FuturaEducator
    Truly the best
    Has turned my parenting style inside out, and I appreciate her and her teams wisdom everyday- in every interaction with my young kids!
  • ElizaKCr
    Best parenting podcast!!!
    I studied human development in my undergraduate degree and I gave two kids. I love this podcast. Dr. Becky has a wonderful understanding of children and such a breadth of knowledge about how to be a sturdy parent. I recommend this podcast to everyone. It’s helpful even if you’re not a parent and has helped my husband and I navigate challenges and learn new ways to work together.
  • Hilldoza
    The best
    I wish I had Dr. Becky on speed dial for every single problem that arises throughout the day with my kiddos. I truly wish a new episode dropped every day! Her insight is inspiring and reassuring. Highly recommend.
  • SunmerKay
    You can’t go wrong with Good Inside
    My #1 source of parenting information. Dr. Becky’s approach is unique but feels so right. I love that she is speaking to parents on such a human level and is able to connect our own psychology to how we then move forward with our children in a positive way. She doesn’t expect you to be perfect by any means and genuinely feels like that special Aunt or big sister.

    Love the book and one comment on the period episode
    I love the book with its emphasizing on belief in yourself as a good parent. Eye opening on how to handle kids and partner with different personality from oneself. After listening to a couple of episodes (I still plan to do more), I feel some of the content is a tad trying too hard to keep positive. The episodes about father death and period are mostly about how to look for the silver lining and remove taboo. But I would love to hear about difficulties that is almost unsolvable but we still have to co-live with. For example, the issue that I found hard to discuss about period is not what it is and medically what it means. It is that why it feels so uncomfortable, moody, sometimes painful and messy, inconvenient to plan sport/travel/important life events around and why half of the population doesn’t have to deal with any of it. Do I tell my girls that you just drew a short straw? It is not all covered by period meaning you are in good health state. There are women who don’t have periods for genetic and medical reasons and I have only heard good things about how they feel about not having it. There are contraceptive pills to be taken which might stop periods. Should we really be talking about the freedom of not having or minimizing the inconvenience, instead of accepting it happily?

    I love good inside
    I look forward to all of her episodes and can’t get enough. Thank you for sharing all your insights and wisdom. Every time, it’s just so informative, interesting and makes me think! Love it. Thank you!
  • EurekaPants
    an oasis for the ears
    listening to good inside makes me feel so much stronger and better resourced. it makes me feel like I’m a better parent NOW. like it’s helpful and the tips are great, but it reminds me that I’m doing better than I think. she’s the real deal. no toxic influencer nonsense here!

    Jonathon Haidt
    Thank you for this episode. I frantically wrote down so many helpful tips as I was listening and can’t wait to read his book. Sending my 6 year-old to walk the dog by himself and we will be following the rest of Jonathon’s 4 rules with our two kids 💪🏻

    Dr Becky
    Dr Becky has changed my parenting (and my life) so much for the better! When I listen to her podcast/workshops consistently, the overall dynamic in my household improves in a very noticeable way. She gives me so much hope and confidence, and I use her tips and skills everyday.

    Bast parenting podcast
    NEW REVIEW - The newer podcasts with interviews aren’t as impactful as the old ones. It’s really disappointing that so much helpful content was removed. I hope something changes and the older content is brought back on. It’s such a powerful tool to turn people onto Dr Becky that is not being utilized. It’s also much easier to access podcasts on this platform rather then having to log on to the member site. OLD REVIEW - Dr Becky blows my mind with her thoughtful and impactful ideas. Because of her, I’m showing up in more powerful ways for my children. So thankful for this podcast!!

    Quick meaningfully information easy to listen to.
  • Nicole0107
    Bring back the old episodes!!
    Why was so much content removed?! I feel like almost all of the good content is gone now and I don’t see anything I resonate with as I scroll through the list. Really disappointed as there is almost nothing for younger kids now as opposed to before when there seemed to be a healthy mix. :( please bring back the old episodes!
  • Truzquilla
    So many old episodes deleted
    I have been listening since the podcast started and I’m the person who is always sharing the best episodes with friends and family. I’m sad that many of my favorite episodes have been removed.. sometimes I want to re-listen to something I found insightful or when a friend is going through a hard time, I don’t always have the right words to say but I always had the right podcast to recommend to them. I feel lost when I see the current list of episodes. Almos looks shorter and shorter every time I see it.

    Support for parents
    For the most important hat I wear, I love having this support. It helps me have grace for myself, which is something I need to practice. It’s nice having such an excellent coach and regular bite-size reminders of how to be kinder to myself.
  • Jessi_rose
    Tween episode
    Today’s episode was something I definitely needed to hear. I’ve been dealing with the same type of issue so to hear this was so helpful. Thank you

    Episode with Dan Harris
    This episode is amazing! I have listened to it multiple times. It has really helped me with my anxiety. I loved the ending ; great reminder to be kind to yourself.
  • hehc j da jfjjj be
    No just no
    Dr B honestly the episode on not punishing your kids for bad behaviour?! They’re never gonna learn! I’m a single mom and my kids mess up they going to be cleaning the whole house but not punishing them at ALL oh h*ll nah. If you don’t give them discipline they won’t learn discipline! You wanna teach algebra you gotta learn algebra.

    The best
    If there is one parenting podcast worth listening, it’s this one! Lots of valuable advice and insights. It helps me become a better parent.
  • boyoboyitsfun
    Wow, I'm a DFA with a DFK
    My wife turned me on to Dr. Becky and the episode on consequences made me completely rethink parenting. Why am I as an emo dad fighting his own amygdala treating my child in a way I would absolutely hate to be treated? Dr. Becky uses such amazing analogies to put these kid problems into adult world context. So illuminating. Thank you.
  • Kaiters318
    Motivation
    Such a good podcast to make me look at parenting in a different perspective. Also powerful when I hear things that I’m doing as parent is such a huge impact for my kids.

    One of the very few I listen to
  • Dellyree
    This is what I need to hear
    This podcast teaches me in such a way that I am not upset about all the ways I fail as a parent. I find the advice to be very helpful, easy to implement, and it calms me down when I’m stressed.
  • Noguiltmom
    Feels So Easy To Take Action
    Dr. Becky has a way of explaining situations with kids that just make sense. Through stories and examples, she helps me have more compassion during those trying times and understanding for what’s happening. Love episode Jan 1st episode on How Dare You Speak to Me That Way where she separated what a kid said from the feeling the child was experiencing instead. Highly recommend this podcast!
  • KatieFloyd09

    Crying in Aldi
    Just listened to the episode with Cleo Wade and feel like someone has finally put to words what postpartum depression felt like. Wow. Just crying in the cheese aisle at Aldi feeling a little less alone with my experiences.

    Great Convo!
    The “How to Talk to Kids about Politics” episode was awesome. Dr. Becky, Beth, and Sarah provided practical nuggets throughout the conversation. My kids (twin 7 yo, 5 yo) love the book, “One Vote, Two Votes, I Vote, You Vote.” My husband and me use it to get their minds thinking and then we answer their questions.
  • Pikles taste good
    FAVORITE parenting podcast
    This podcast is wise, compassionate, insightful, and supportive. I recommend it for all parents! Dr Becky is an important touchstone in our house when we are thinking about how to be the “sturdy leaders” we want to be.
  • Boulder Mom 789
    Thank you!
    Thank you Dr. Becky for this wonderful resource. I love the format of the episodes and the content. The most recent episode resonated with me so deeply. Thank you! Thank you!
  • Carolflyjs
    Self caring is the best parenting
    This is one of the key things I learned from Dr Becky. When I was growing up, I never learned that feelings and emotions should be pinpointed and expressed. I always thought the best way to deal with emotions was to deal with them internally, get over them, and move on. It was causing lots of internal stress, low self esteem and awareness, wanting to escape from difficult emotions which eventually leads to more explosions and meltdowns later on, etc. On the surface, Dr Becky is teaching me how to parent. Deep inside, Dr Becky is teaching me how to deal with myself better, which is the first and foremost thing to deal with a kid having a hard time. I recommend everyone who has a crying child inside to listen to Dr Becky and read her book. It won’t be a magic pill that solves all the problems at once, but it will help you start the healing process, which is what is truly good for you.

    Worth a listen for everyone
    I don’t have kids, but this podcast has significantly changed the way I think about my relationship with others and myself. It honestly is a game changer.
  • karamel2k
    Repeatedly Valuable
    There are so many episodes of Good Inside that I return to over and over in my work with kids of all ages. Long story short, Dr. Becky’s strategies WORK. And best of all, the perspective shift that comes from practicing these strategies regularly helps ME stay more centered more often, which I am just endlessly grateful for; it has changed how how I interact with others and how I am as a person. I recommend Good Inside to everyone, because the really valuable stuff you get from Dr. Becky is applicable to all humans, not just parents.
  • Healing childhood
    Such a great podcast!
    Reconnection after disconnection is such a powerful tool in parenting and relationships in general! Thank you for the helpful advice along with scenarios for us to practice during the opportunities to do so!
  • Hollerbackgirl
    Great Advice and Guests
    Dr. Becky has helped changed my view on parenting in a healthier way. Her podcasts are easy and quick to listen to with guests that are struggling just like other parents. She changes the idea of “advice” on stopping a behavior to how to help my child deal with their emotions that are causing the behavior. This is so eye opening.
  • Long time fan, meh listener
    Thank you
    Thank you so much for the content you provide. Your book and now your podcast are amazing and must-consume resources for any parent.
  • Sherry Ann Marie
    Yeah!!
    As a momma & a seasoned preschool teacher you are SO spot on and have a way of keeping things simple. Appreciate how aligned you are to our school philosophy! Will you do an episode on separation anxiety for parents of preschoolers? Your chapter in your book is great but these parents are busy!! Listening might be more accessible. Thanks
  • Debooroar
    Sandwich Generation
    Oh wow. Spot on. I have been caregiving in both directions since having my first son, 7 years ago. I feel like “my life” is on hold a lot. I LOVE caring for my loved ones and I am so tired. Was a relief to hear about another’s experience.
  • SakuraySol
    Back to School Anxiety
    Thanks, Dr. Becky, for your pertinent and timely episode on back to school anxiety. My child has been very emotional about going to child care as I return to work and it has triggered my own doubts and insecurities. I love the quote about being the pilot of the plane. Thanks for these scripts/mantras I can use in my own scenario with my own child.
