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!

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.

Has turned my parenting style inside out, and I appreciate her and her teams wisdom everyday- in every interaction with my young kids!

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.

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!!
