Optimizing Happiness with Laurie Santos

Every parent wants their kid to be happy and to grow up into a
happy adult. But sometimes, a parent's intervention in the short
term can lead to their kid becoming an unhappy adult in the long
term. Yale professor, scientist, and podcast host, Dr. Laurie
Santos, joins Dr. Becky to talk about happiness and the
difference between optimizing for happiness in the moment and
optimizing for happiness in the future.

Today’s episode is brought to you by Airbnb: 
Let's be honest: parenting is expensive, especially around the
holidays. And Dr. Becky hears all the time from parents that
there are so many things they want to do that just don't fit into
their budget, and it can feel kind of powerless. And then, once
the holidays are over, they still end up having spent more than
they usually do and feel stressed and behind. So now that the
holidays are behind us, she wants to share an idea for a way to
make some extra income in 2025…Hosting on Airbnb. Being an Airbnb
host means that you are providing another family with an amazing
experience— because I know you've created your home with a family
in mind—and it's a great way to earn some extra money for all the
different things you want to do this year. Your home might be
worth more than you think. Find out how much at Airbnb dot com

Today’s episode is brought to you by AG1: 
As parents, we all wonder: “How can I take care of myself while
also caring for my kid?” It’s so easy to lose ourselves—and then
we get resentful and reactive. AG1 is a daily supplement powder
with minerals, probiotics, antioxidants—all that good stuff that
supports your overall health and well-being. For Dr. Becky, a
Good inside mom working on being a sturdy leader, AG1 is
something else as well; it’s how she ensures she starts her day
by remembering herself. To learn more, go to drinkAG1.com/drbecky
to check it out. For Good Inside listeners, we added in—with no
extra charge—a bottle of Vitamin D3K2 and 5 free AG1 travel packs
with your first purchase.
