Becky Kennedy is a clinical psychologist, bestselling author, and founder of Good Inside, an online parenting advice service. Her experiences as a "people pleaser" and struggles with anorexia motivated her to pursue psychology. She earned a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Human Development from Duke University and a PhD in Clinical Psychology from Columbia University. In 2020, Becky launched the Good Inside Instagram account during the COVID-19 pandemic, and in 2021, she co-founded Good Inside with fellow psychologist Erica Belsky. The company offers a subscription service that provides parenting advice to over one million subscribers, mainly mothers. Becky's parenting philosophy is based on the belief that everyone is "good inside" and that children are complex emotional beings. She promotes a non-punitive approach to parenting and encourages parents to set boundaries while expressing love. Becky is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of "Good Inside: A Guide to Becoming the Parent You Want to Be" and hosts the popular podcast "Good Inside with Dr. Becky," which quickly reached the top of the Apple Podcasts "Kids & Family" chart upon its launch in April 2021.
