Good Inside with Dr. Becky

Don’t Pardon Me, I’m an Inconvenient Woman


Listen Later

In this follow-up to last week’s Calling All “Good Girls” episode, Dr. Becky dives deeper into embracing the role of the “inconvenient woman.” What begins with a simple “I want my coffee my way” moment evolves into a powerful realization: Identifying, owning, and articulating our desires as women can be incredibly uncomfortable. Dr. Becky encourages all self-identifying “Good Girls” to reflect on what they truly want for themselves and to embrace the inconvenience that comes with pursuing it.

Today’s episode is brought to you by Ritual. You know that feeling when you’re going a million miles an hour, jumping from one thing to the next? You’re trying to finish an email when you remember the laundry’s still in the washer, your kid is shouting about needing poster board for a project due tomorrow, your pone won’t stop buzzing, and—oh, great—you forgot that tonight is parent-teacher conferences. Sometimes, life is just… a lot.

Stress doesn’t have an off-switch. And we can support our body’s natural response to it. That’s why I love Ritual’s Stress Relief, featuring BioSeries technology. It’s designed to work with your body to help manage everyday stress.

If you feel like daily stress is taking a toll on your body and mind, you might want to give them a try. Get Ritual Stress Relief and save 25% on your first month at ritual.com/goodinside.

Today’s episode is brought to you by Airbnb. Traveling during spring break can feel tricky because we can’t necessarily take time off work when our kids are off from school. And trying to join a Zoom meeting from your hotel room or your in-laws' kitchen doesn’t always feel great. This is why I love Airbnb when we travel–I can find a place with plenty of room to spread out, including a desk or table for dedicated work time, making it easier to have dedicated connection time with my kids. And, if you’re thinking of traveling for spring break, consider hosting your home on Airbnb, too! It’s a great way to help offset the cost of booking one yourself while opening up your space for another family also traveling! Your home might be worth more than you think. Find out how much at airbnb.com/host.
