The In-Between Years with Dr. Sheryl

About The In-Between Years with Dr. Sheryl

The In-Between Years with Dr. Sheryl is a podcast from Good Inside for parents or adults raising, caring for, or loving a tween or teen. Hosted by clinical psychologist and mom of three Dr. Sheryl Ziegler, this show explores what’s really happening during this intense and transformative stage of life — from big emotions and shifting friendships to dating, academic pressure, social media, identity, and body changes. Each episode slows things down and looks beneath the surface so you can respond instead of react — because your kid may be growing up, but that doesn’t mean they need you less. They need you differently. **About Good Inside** Good Inside helps parents raise confident, resilient kids. Founded by clinical psychologist and mom of three Dr. Becky, our unique approach helps families solve current challenges, and get ahead of future ones, by focusing on the child behind the behavior and the parent behind the parenting. With an app, workshops, podcast, books, and GiGi — a proprietary chatbot trained in the Good Inside approach — members have 24/7 access to personalized, practical support for every age and stage of parenting. No question is too specific, no scenario too tricky to untangle. It’s real, sturdy guidance parents can lean on in the moment, helping them feel capable, grounded, and never alone. goodinside.com

Gloria Steinem's Message to Parents: Raise Your Sons Like Your Daughters

Published 16 Sept 2026 · Transcript excerpt

[…] It's okay to be sad. You're allowed to be upset about that. You can come talk to me about it. Hey, You weren't invited to that birthday party. I'd be upset, too. Like those little things, I think. Yeah. Give our sons permission to have feelings. And I think, you know, one of the things that's almost ironic is we can't learn to manage feelings we think we're not supposed to have. And so if we do raise our sons to think you're not supposed to be sad, you're not supposed to be upset, all that means is they will never be able to appropriately manage sadness or upset.
