A Fireside Chat with Dr. Becky: Good Inside Principles for Real-World Parenting (October 22, 2026)

Thu, 22 Oct 2026 23:00:00 GMT

Event registration begins Thursday, September 10th!

Don’t miss our first lecture of the 2026-2027 season! Hear from Dr. Becky Kennedy, founder and CEO of Good Inside, clinical psychologist, and New York Times bestselling author, who is on a mission to radically reshape how we think about parenting and child development.

Dr. Becky has built a movement around one radical idea: kids are capable of far more resilience than we give them credit for, and parents are capable of far more calm than they think. Through her book Good Inside: A Guide to Becoming the Parent You Want to Be, her chart-topping podcast Good Inside with Dr. Becky, and a rapidly growing community platform, she offers real, usable strategies for the moments that stump us most — meltdowns, sibling rivalry, screen-time battles, back talk — all grounded in attachment theory and a deep belief that our kids (and we) are doing our best.

Named "The Millennial Parenting Whisperer" by TIME, Dr. Becky brings clinical expertise and realistic, compassionate insight to the most challenging parts of raising children in today's world.

Cost: $30 for members and $50 for guests (limit one guest per member). Registration includes a complimentary copy of Dr. Becky’s upcoming children’s book, One More Book! A Good Inside Story About Bedtime, releasing February 27, 2027.
Please note that WMF is unable to offer refunds for this event.

Doors open at 7:00 pm. The program will begin promptly at 7:30 pm and conclude with a Q&A.

We are creating the programming with Dr. Becky. Please submit questions and/or topics you'd like Dr. Becky to cover here so we can make this discussion as impactful as possible!

We look forward to seeing you there!
