Speaker
Dr. Becky Kennedy, also known as Dr. Becky, is a clinical psychologist, mom of three, and the visionary founder and CEO of Good Inside, an evidence-based parenting platform and next-generation movement. Through her #1 New York Times bestselling book, TED Talk, and chart-topping podcast, Dr. Becky has built a global community of millions of parents who turn to her for practical, sturdy, and compassionate advice. As was standard for clinical psychologists at the time, Dr. Becky was initially trained in and practiced a popular behavior-first, reward-and-punishment model of parent coaching. However, she soon realized that these methods often felt awful—for both kids and parents. Determined to find a better way, she applied her expertise in attachment, mindfulness, emotion regulation, and internal family systems theory to develop a new, research-based approach to working with parents. Dr. Becky holds a BA in Psychology and Human Development, Phi Beta Kappa and summa cum laude, from Duke University, and a PhD in Clinical Psychology from Columbia University.
