Ep 89: Let’s Talk About Uncomfortable To...

with Melissa Wood-Tepperberg
About this episode

In this episode, Melissa dives into the world of parenting with Dr. Becky Kennedy, exploring what it means to raise kids with compassion and firmness. They unpack the cultural trend of mocking gentle parenting and instead talk about the strength it takes to parent with steady guidance. Becky shares her experience raising a "DFK" (deeply feeling kid) and offers advice on how to connect and communicate with them. Together, they tackle topics like handling conflict, navigating moments of frustration, and the importance of "repairing" not just with our kids, but with ourselves, too. They discuss the tricky balance of allowing kids screen time, and the necessity of having open conversations about tough topics like sex, death, and understanding what feels good or bad in our bodies. Plus, Dr. Becky shares insights from her memorable sit-down with Oprah and gives a sneak peek into her upcoming courses and her text help line for parents seeking support.
