It takes just moments scrolling through Dr Becky Kennedy’s Instagram page to realise here is something refreshing, real, and relatable.

A clinical psychologist, author and mother-of-three, Kennedy has been named ‘The Millennial Parenting Whisperer’ by TIME magazine. She hosts Good Inside with Dr Becky, a chart-topping podcast with 13m plus downloads and has garnered over 1.6m followers on Instagram.
