Earlier this week, leading up to Mother’s Day, Dr. Becky and I hosted a dinner with an incredible group of women - CEOs of leading parenting brands, founders, investors, and thought leaders - to celebrate Good Inside’s upcoming expansion into the pregnancy and baby space. During a powerful conversation led by Dr. Becky, she asked guests one simple question: “What’s one thing you wish you’d known when you had a baby?” The answers were thoughtful, honest, vulnerable - and at times, angry. Angry that for generations, women have entered motherhood with so little preparation for what to expect emotionally, physically, and mentally. At Good Inside, we’re on a mission to take the mystery out of parenthood, starting with pregnancy and birth through the teen years. Because when we reduce the surprise, we reduce the shame, isolation, and self-doubt that so many parents, especially women, carry silently. Thank you to our partners, collaborators, friends, and supporters for welcoming us into the baby space with such openness and excitement. We’re counting down the days until the product is live in the app.
