  • The Thoughts New Parents Don’t Say Out Loud
    Apr 28 2026

    If you’re pregnant… just had a baby… or love someone who is about to become a parent… this episode is for you!

    This is a preview of Rattled—a brand-new podcast from Good Inside, created for those early weeks and months of parenthood, when everything feels new, intense, and a little disorienting.

    Each episode of Rattled starts with a thought—the kind that shows up at 2 a.m., the kind you don’t always say out loud, the kind that can make you wonder if something is wrong with you.

    In this preview, you’ll hear from two parents:

    Caro Chambers—writer, chef, and mom of four—on the moment it hit her:
    “Oh… my whole life has changed.”

    And Leah Smart—executive coach, podcast host, and new mom—on experiencing intrusive thoughts during pregnancy and postpartum, and what they actually mean (and don’t mean) about you.

    If you’ve ever had a complicated thought around a baby… or worried about what your thoughts say about you—you're not the only one!

  • Your Motherhood is Only as Powerful as Your Personhood - Revisit
    Apr 21 2026

    People will tell you: a baby changes everything. What no one tells you is how much you change — and how hard it is to love yourself when you don't quite recognize yourself anymore.

    In this conversation, Dr. Becky sits down with poet and author Cleo Wade (Remember Love) to talk about what it actually feels like to lose yourself in early parenthood — and what finding your way back looks like. They go deep on postpartum depression, the guilt that masquerades as gratitude, why the hard thoughts hit so much harder than the hard moments themselves, and the small, unglamorous practices — a walk, a shower, two words on a post-it note — that can become a real turning point.

    Cleo's line has stayed with so many parents who've heard it: your motherhood is only as powerful as your personhood.

    This episode is a reminder of why that's true — and a guide for how to actually live it.

    We're re-releasing this episode to celebrate the launch of Rattled, our new podcast for the early years of parenthood, as well as a whole new home for the baby stage inside the Good Inside app — with sleep support, lactation expertise, workshops, and tools built around one belief: a parent who feels held can hold their baby.

  • The Funny Kid Becomes the Dad: How We’re Raised with Kenan Thompson
    Apr 14 2026

    We all grow up playing a role in our family — the responsible one, the easy one, the funny one. For Kenan Thompson, that role started early. In this episode of How We’re Raised, Dr. Becky talks with Kenan about how becoming “the funny one” shaped the way he connects with people — and what it looks like to parent with more intention today. They discuss:

    • The connection between humor and emotional survival;
    • What made Kenan’s childhood feel grounded despite early fame;
    • Why he’s choosing a different approach to discipline with his daughters;
    • Why he chose to write his new children's book, Unfunny Bunny;
    • And what he hopes his kids will one day say about how they were raised.

    A conversation about identity, family patterns, and raising kids with both warmth and boundaries.

I love how this podcast normalises that parents need resources to figure what to do in tough parenting situations. We were never meant to do this alone and it gives me hope that there's such a big group of kids who are raised according to this theory. Bonus, Dr Becky's theory is also applicable to adult relationships.

Amazing hands-on theory and tips for Good Inside parenting!
