'Good Inside With Dr. Becky' Is on The 100 Best Podcasts of All Time
Clinical psychologist Becky Kennedy made her name as a guru in the so-called gentle-parenting movement. Her book, podcast, and app, all called 'Good Inside,' argue that even a kid in the middle of an epic, full-body tantrum is well-intentioned and just struggling to express himself. She offers strategies on how to draw boundaries, but also make a child feel heard in order to improve challenging behaviors. Dr. Becky's actionable advice comes in the form of interviews with experts or famous fellow parents as well as monologues in front of a camera that break down her personal parenting challenges. Topics range from handling screentime to managing sibling rivalries. Not every parent will find Dr. Becky's methodology convincing. Still, occasionally I wonder if Dr. Becky has a direct line into my brain and those of my fellow moms to probe our anxieties, as evidenced by a recent episode about why a messy house stresses out moms more than dads—spoiler alert: women's cortisol levels spike higher than men's when confronted with clutter. The episode threw every spat I've ever had with my husband about dirty dishes in the sink into perspective. We were able to listen to the podcast together and talk about strategies for reducing anxiety around cleaning—a prime example of a podcast with the power to change lives, one tantrum or tiff at a time.

Dr. Becky: TIME100 Creators 2025
Credit - Melanie Dunea During the COVID-19 pandemic, clinical psychologist Becky Kennedy emerged as a modern-day Dr. Spock for a new generation of anxious, overwhelmed parents. The 42-year-old mother of three is known for speaking directly to the camera—often on New York City streets after dropping off her children at school or a sports game—and sharing personal parenting anecdotes and practical advice with an audience of more than 3.4 million across Instagram and TikTok. Kennedy's philosophy centers on the belief that every child, even one who's mid-tantrum, is 'good inside'—a phrase that's evolved into the title of her chart-topping podcast, best-selling book, and parenting platform, which offers paid workshops on everything from screentime to sibling rivalry. Rather than focusing on punishment, Kennedy equips parents with scripts and strategies to help their kids feel seen, heard, and understood. For millions of Millennials, Dr. Becky has become the go-to voice of reason in the chaos of child-rearing. Data and insights powered by #paid Write to Eliana Dockterman at
