Good Inside with Dr. BeckyGood Inside with Dr. Becky

Coming Soon

This show explores what’s really happening during this intense and transformative stage of life — from big emotions and shifting friendships to dating, academic pressure, social media, identity, and body changes. The in-between years aren’t a series of problems to fix; they’re a stage to understand. Each episode slows things down and looks beneath the surface so you can respond instead of react — because the more confident you feel, the more confident your kid feels, too. Your child may be growing up, but that doesn’t mean they need you less. They need you differently. Coming Soon! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

WHAT IT’S REALLY ABOUT

New podcast supports parents through the messy tween-teen years transition

  1. The trailer frames the tween/teen years as a developmental stage to understand rather than a set of problems to fix.
  2. It highlights common parent experiences—pulling away, reactivity, mood swings, slammed doors—while emphasizing the child’s underlying need for connection.
  3. The show promises to unpack what’s beneath behaviors like “leave me alone,” including rapid changes in bodies, friendships, identity, and emotions.
  4. It emphasizes parenting approaches that balance boundaries with connection and help adults stay steady when kids feel unsteady.
  5. The core message is that kids are “good inside,” and parental steadiness—not perfection—supports closeness and regulation.

IDEAS WORTH REMEMBERING

5 ideas

Treat adolescence as a stage to understand, not a behavior problem to solve.

The trailer reframes the “in between” years as normal development with meaning behind behaviors, encouraging curiosity over quick fixing.

Push-away behaviors often coexist with a need for closeness.

Eye rolls and slammed doors can mask the underlying question: “Are you still someone I can come to?”—so connection stays relevant even when it’s rejected.

Bigger emotions and faster changes make behavior louder and harder to manage.

Bodies, friendships, identity, and emotions shift quickly in adolescence, which can increase intensity and reduce a teen’s ability to hide or regulate feelings.

What used to work in early childhood may suddenly fall flat—and that’s expected.

Parents may feel disoriented (“Where did my baby go?”), but the mismatch signals changing needs, not parental failure.

Boundaries can be connection-building when delivered with steadiness.

The show positions limits not as punishment but as a relational tool—helping kids feel held while they test independence.

The era of, "You don't get it. Just leave me alone." But underneath it all, "Are you still someone I can come to? Please don't go."

— Dr. Sheryl

On this show, we'll slow it down, because these years aren't problems to fix. They're stages to understand.

— Dr. Sheryl

Your kid is still good inside, even when their behavior is loud, even when it's confusing, even when it pushes every button you have.
