@mightypursuit: *LINK IN BIO FOR FULL EPISODE* “I just want my kids to be happy.”
 It sounds noble. But as Dr. Becky Kennedy points out, chasing happiness as the goal wires kids to fear discomfort — and sets them up for fragility later in life. And this isn’t an isolated myth.
 Modern parenting is full of them. We’re told to trust instinct, when instinct often just means repeating how we were parented. We scroll past endless advice stamped evidence-based, without realizing much of it is built on the wrong target. And today’s parents face challenges no generation has before: a high cost of living, limited support networks, and an online world that threatens your child’s very sense of self. In this way, one could argue parenting has never been harder. That’s why we turned to Dr. Becky — Ivy League–trained, with years of private practice, and now the preeminent voice in parenting today. For millions of parents, her work has become a lifeline: cutting through myths, reframing false goals, and showing what it really means to raise kids who are safe, seen, and resilient. In this episode, we discuss: 1) Why parenting isn’t just raising kids — it’s re-raising ourselves. 2) The myths of instinct and “evidence-based” advice that lead us toward the wrong goals. 3) Why the aim isn’t happy kids, but resilient ones — and how boundaries shape that. 4) How to navigate modern pressures: from putting kids’ needs first to the dangers of devices and social media. 🎧 Full episode now available on YouTube, Spotify, and Apple.
