In this episode, Dr. Becky and Chris discuss how we can raise kids in ways that help them be confident and resilient. But don’t fret, non-parents, Dr. Becky also shares rich insights about how to find and develop the relationship-mending skills we need to thrive as adults. This jam-packed episode has a little something for everyone – and if you want more from Dr. Becky you can listen to her talk on TED Talks Daily, or find her on her own podcast, Good Inside with Dr. Becky, wherever you are listening to this.

You'Re listening to how to be a better human.
I'm your host, Chris Duffy.
Today's guest, Doctor Becky Kennedy, gave a TED talk that I have not stopped thinking about since I saw it.
It has genuinely changed the way that I think about many relationships in my life.
I think that Doctor Becky's message is profound.
I think it's extremely important.
But I also want to admit something.
I want to make a confession.
When I first heard about Doctor Becky, I was told that she was a parenting expert.
And I'll admit that I was a little dismissive.
It didn't seem particularly relevant to my life.
And if there is one constant in my life, it is that every time I cockily say to myself, I don't think this is advice I need to hear, it turns out that that is, in fact, exactly the advice I need to hear.
Absolutely 100% of the time.
I was wrong and I need to hear it.
And of course, this was no exception.
When I heard what Doctor Becky had to say, I realized that she is talking about so much more than just parent child relationships.
She is talking about all interpersonal relationships.
So whether you have a kid, whether you want to have kids, or you have absolutely no interest in ever having kids, I feel very confident that you are going to take away something meaningful from Doctor Becky.
Here's a clip from her TED talk where she discusses what she thinks is the single most important skill that any person can learn and practice.
