In this episode of Good Inside, Dr. Becky talks with
bestselling author and mental health expert Dr. John
Delony about the utility trap — the pressure many men
feel to always be useful, fix problems, and provide solutions,
often at the expense of emotional connection. John shares his own
experiences as a dad learning to step out of “fix-it mode” and
into emotional presence, vulnerability, and
attunement. If you’ve ever felt stuck in the role of provider or
problem-solver, or you’re parenting with someone who is, this
conversation is a powerful invitation to redefine what it really
means to show up.

As parents, the mental load is real—to-do lists, doctor’s
appointments, sports practices, work events, birthday parties…
Should I keep going? If your family is anything like mine, it can
feel like there are a thousand things to remember and your brain
is running on overdrive. What if I told you there's a way to
bring a little more calm and clarity to your chaotic,
always-changing family schedule?
Meet Skylight Calendar. It’s a central, easy-to-see touchscreen
with clear colors, so everyone in your family can stay in the
loop. As someone obsessed with efficiency, it almost feels like
magic how seamlessly it syncs with all of the calendars you're
already using—Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, Outlook, and more.
I truly see this tool as your partner in sharing the mental load
with your kids AND partner.
And because life doesn't stop when you leave the house, Skylight
offers a free companion app. You can add or update events, check
off to-do lists, and stay in sync with your family no matter
where you are. Another great feature: If you're not completely
thrilled within 120 days, you can return it for a full refund.
Ready to say goodbye to calendar chaos and hello to a more
organized and connected family life? Right now, Skylight is
offering our listeners $30 off their 15-inch Calendars. Just go
to myskylight.com/BECKY for $30 off. This offer
expires December 31, 2025.
