Welcome to Unfuck Your Brain, the only podcast that teaches you how to use psychology, feminism

And now here's your host, Harvard Law School grad, feminist rock star, and master coach,

Carla Lohanthile.

Hello, my chickens.

I am so super excited about this interview.

And I know that a lot of you are too, because when I shared on my social media that I was

going to be talking to my guest today, I got so many DMs from people who either listen

to her because she is a parenting expert and they have children, but also so many people

who like me follow her and listen to her for themselves, even though they don't have children

or both.

So my guest today is Dr. Becky Kennedy and we are going to get real deep into how your own

ability to emotionally regulate yourself shows up in the way that you parent your children

and the way you parent yourself.

And I thought that this episode would be a really good touchstone for all of us as we

are heading into the holiday season, we may be dealing with family members, we may be

dealing with ourselves and how we think and feel at this time of year, just emotions can

be running really high.

And so I think now is a great time to have a in-depth exploration of what it means to parent

more skillfully, but whether that's parenting actual other children or just reparenting

or parenting yourself the way that you respond to your own big thoughts and big feelings.

So I'm so excited for this interview, it was such a good conversation and I cannot wait
