Dr. Becky Kennedy

Because I don't think anybody who's heard me talk ever says, Dr. Becky, she sounds really soft. I don't know if you feel like that in this conversation.

I guess that's true. But honestly, this sounds weird. And I don't want to, maybe this is wrong to say, but I'm just going to put it out there. What will happen is there's often a wife in a heterosexual marriage, okay? And they're like, my husband is worried about raising snowflakes. And this is the best thing. When they say, look, can you convince my husband? I'm not going to do that.

I'm not walking into a dumpster. Yeah. You'll probably disagree with half of it, but at least then you and I have something to bounce our energy off of. And we might not be on the same page, but at least we have common language. And then we have something to talk about instead of just escalating. And then there might be things, but I think break it down how we approach parenting.

There's so much between punitive control and soft permissiveness. I don't think until Good Inside we've actually been given a roadmap for what the in-between looks like. And I think in our heads and in our hearts, when we hear certain examples, we're like, I could have used that and it wouldn't have made me soft. So I think we need to get more people to dip their toe in.

And sometimes a reel isn't the best example because we're all short circuited. How much can you say in 60 seconds? It seems it's so short, but I actually don't get that a lot from people because I think the tone of it, it feels in line with how CEOs and coaches talk to employees and players.

Seems pathetic. And same thing with a coach. Again, it's actually the same thing. The thing that people don't understand about good inside and why I would never call it gentle is we put so much emphasis on boundaries. And when you hear me talk about a boundary, you're like, oh, that does not sound soft at all. You actually are like, I'm actually not even setting boundaries.

My punishments and threats are soft boundaries. That is soft because not acting from a position of power, you're not true power.
