confidence that lasts? In today’s episode, Dr. Becky shares some

affirm our kids in more effective ways. You’ll learn exactly what
to do to build your kid’s self-esteem in both high and low

As soon as one of my kids sneezes, I know it’s only a matter of
days before the whole house is feeling under the weather. With
kids at school, they seem to bring home every sniffle and sneeze
imaginable—and I’ve accepted that’s just part of parenting.


What I don’t accept anymore? The frantic 11 p.m pharmacy
runs - when everyone’s already miserable and all we have is a
half-used bottle of who-knows-what from who-knows-when in the
pantry. Now, I make sure to stock up **ahead of time. And I
always look for Mommy’s Bliss: They’ve been making safe, gentle
wellness solutions, like their Organic Baby and Kids' cough
syrups, for more than 25 years. That means an ingredient list you
can actually understand: no high fructose corn syrup, no dyes, no
artificial sweeteners, and free from the top nine allergens.
Their Pain & Fever medicine is also a staple—it’s the
first-ever Clean Label Project certified acetaminophen - and safe
for infants.


Find Mommy’s Bliss in-store and online at major retailers. Your
future self will thank you.


There’s always a moment - maybe two weeks into the school year -
where I stop and think: “Wait, wasn’t summer just five minutes
ago?”


Suddenly, we’re back in the rush of packing lunches, signing
permission slips, and struggling to find a pair of matching socks
every morning. That’s why I’ve started looking ahead to fall
breaks now.


My go-to for quick getaways? Booking an Airbnb. It’s a reset that
still feels like home: games and toys for the kids, a big living
room for family movie nights, and even bunk beds that kids claim
are “way better than our beds at home.”


Plus, do you ever think about how you can host your own home on
Airbnb for another family to enjoy while you’re away? It’s
a great way to earn a little extra income to put towards your own
trip, school supplies, or next season’s cleats. Your home might
be worth more than you think. Find out how much at

You know that feeling when you're in the car, on your way to
drop-off, and you're just trying to get your kid to eat one bite
of their breakfast? Or when you’re on the way home from school,
wishing there was a volume dial to turn down the meltdown
happening in the backseat?


The back-to-school season is a lot, and moments like this are
tough. That’s why I'm so excited to share that I teamed up with
Chomps for a "Carpool Q&A," where I answered common questions
from parents, like: What do I do when my kids fight constantly in
the car? How can I help ease separation anxiety at drop off? And,
what's the one song that's guaranteed to brighten the mood in my
car? (I shared a personal favorite, and trust me, it's a good
one....)


Because let’s be honest - car chaos is real. And when you add a
hungry kid to the mix? Forget it. Chomps has got you covered on
the snacks: Their meat sticks are easy to stash in backpacks or
glove compartments and are a good source of protein, so you’ve
got one less thing to stress about mid-commute. And Good Inside
has you covered on everything else.

We’re coming up on the third anniversary of my book, Good
Inside - and to celebrate, I’m doing something I’ve never
done before.


If you sign up for a Good Inside Membership between September
11th and September 13th, I’ll mail you a free copy of the book as
a little gift from me to you.


Think of it as a Sturdy Leader Starter Pack: the book gives you
the core ideas of my approach, and the membership helps you bring
those ideas to life every day. You’ll get tools specific to your
kid and your family, access to parenting coaches, and even a
chatbot trained on my method - so you always have somewhere to
turn when questions or big feelings hit.


If you’re a parent who wants to feel more confident, less alone,
and is ready to break old cycles, this is the perfect moment to
dive in. Go to goodinside.com starting on September 11th through
September 13th to sign up for a membership and get your free
book, and look out for an email from us to confirm your shipping
details. I can't wait to hear what you think!
