    Dr. Sheryl brings so much warmth and steadiness to these topics. The ADHD in particular was super straightforward and helpful.

  • Needs more!

    I am a big fan of the Good Inside movement and listen to a lot of podcasts.

    I recently listened to the puberty and period podcast with high hopes and I was disappointed. I didn’t feel like any of the information was compelling and didn’t walk away with any practical guidance as the episode promised.

  • A Relief

    I enjoyed the first episode and really appreciated the honesty, and the suggestions as a mom of a 9 y/o boy. The “sprinkles of lessons” at dinner and the coming shoulder to shoulder with our growing up but not yet grown kids was really helpful. I also felt and heard the slowing down of things here, which I appreciate because I’m always thinking I have to handle things and it will be over, and I need these reminders that it’s a process - both their growth and mine.

  • Unclear

    I can’t tell if she’s helpful. I’ve listened to every episode and each time I can’t help but feel she doesn’t answer the question head on. I understand she’s teaching concepts on a more meta level but I just never emerge with an answer to what the caller asked.

  • Sheryl’s insights are so helpful and practical

    I have three daughters 17, 14 and 9, and every moment is packed with beautiful, and many time very challenging, surprises. Sheryl’s simple and straightforward insights give me perspective and easy tools to not just get through the moment, but actually do it with presence, clarity and love!
