The Future of Fatherhood: Raising Boys and Ourselves

In this special episode, Dr. Becky shares a powerful live
conversation from the Future of Fatherhood Summit, moderated by
Maggie McGrath, editor of Forbes Women. Titled “Raising
Boys and Ourselves,” the session explores the evolving
landscape of modern fatherhood.


Dr. Becky dives deep into the roots of toxic masculinity, the
emotional education boys are often denied, and the critical role
fathers play in reshaping cultural narratives. Together with
Maggie, she unpacks what it truly means to show up as an
intentional partner and parent in today's world—and why doing the
inner work is essential for raising emotionally healthy boys.


Whether you're a parent, partner, or simply curious about how we
can better support the next generation, this conversation offers
profound insights into how we can all grow—right alongside our
kids.

Today’s episode is brought to you by Coterie. I remember when my
own kids were learning to use the potty… so many mixed emotions:
pride, stress, excitement, and a lot of mess. It really is a
process. That’s why I’m always looking for tools that make it
feel easier. Coterie gets that. They’ve created thoughtful
products that support how kids actually learn, like The Flush
Wipe and The Pant. The Pant is a diaper-training pant hybrid with
a stretchy, tabbed waistband for easy pull-down or diaper-style
changes. It’s absorbent enough to make it the only product you
need for day and night. You can pair The Pant with the new Flush
Wipes. They’re soft, durable, and designed for independent wiping
- made with 99% water and 5 clean ingredients, safe for sensitive
skin. Plus, they're sewer and septic safe, so they disintegrate
like toilet paper when flushed.  Think of them like a
dynamic duo, designed to grow with your kid through this process
and make potty learning feel a little better for everyone. Get

Let’s be real: Planning a memorable summer for your kids can get
expensive! So if you’re looking for creative ways to make a
little extra income this summer, here’s one idea: Start hosting
on Airbnb. As parents, we know there’s nothing better than
finding a kid-friendly home for a family vacation (read: books,
toys, spill-friendly furniture)... so why not share your own
place with other families? Hosting can fund your summer fun while
giving another family a comfortable place to stay. Talk about a
win-win! Your home might be worth more than you think. Find out
how much at airbnb.com/host.


Today’s episode is brought to you by Sittercity. We talk a lot
about support at Good Inside—emotional support, community, not
having to figure out parenting on your own. Sometimes, you also
need logistical support. Like, someone to watch your kid so you
can make that meeting, run those errands, or finally catch up
with a friend. That’s where Sittercity can be a really helpful
tool. Their platform gives you a trusted way to find sitters who
are kind, experienced, and show up when you need them. You can
read reviews from other parents, message sitters directly, and
set up interviews—all in one spot. If you’ve been meaning to find
a sitter but didn’t know where to begin, this is going to make it
feel a whole lot easier. Go to Sittercity.com and use the code
“goodinside" for 25% off the annual or quarterly premium
subscription plans.
