About Dr. Wendy Mogel, PhD 
Dr. Mogel’s candor, wisdom, quick wit, and signature use of cutting-edge psychological research guide parents through today’s rough waters of child-rearing. Drawing on insights from her forty-year career in clinical psychology, she offers hilarious anecdotes and sound advice, unraveling the paradox of good-intentioned, devoted parenting gone astray. She weighs in on issues of the day—from talking to kids about death to embracing the chaos of messy rooms—and on the topic for which she is best known: the protection and promotion of self-reliance, resilience, accountability, and exuberance.

More about Dr. Wendy Mogel
Dr. Wendy Mogel is a practicing clinical psychologist, New York Times bestselling author, podcast host, and international public speaker. Publisher’s Weekly gave her—now classic—parenting book, The Blessing of a Skinned Knee, a starred review, calling it “impassioned, lyrical and eminently practical…a real treasure.” Her revelatory second release, The Blessing of a B Minus, addresses the challenge of parenting adolescents in a culture of anxiety and competition. Publisher’s Weekly raved, “Mogel’s compassion and authenticity will ring true with parents of all faiths facing the tumultuous teen years.”

Dr. Mogel’s third book, Voice Lessons offers guidance for communicating with children across the expanse of childhood and adolescence and explains the most effective ways to talk about your child to teachers, coaches, nannies and caretakers, grandparents, partners and… your ex.
Mogel also addresses an obstacle that flummoxes even the most seasoned and confident parent: the distraction of digital devices, how they impact our connection with our families, and what we can do about it.

A graduate of Middlebury College, Dr. Mogel completed an internship and post-doctoral fellowship in Psychology in the Department of Psychiatry at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. She served on the scientific advisory boards, including Parents Magazine, and is a frequent guest expert on national media, where she weighs in on issues of the day.

She is the host of the popular podcast Nurture vs Nurture with Dr. Wendy Mogel, brought to you by the producers of Armchair Expert. Each week, she brings her forty years of experience working with families to these intimate and wonderfully voyeuristic conversations with a different set of parents.
The second season was released in the Fall of 2023.

Dr. Mogel currently lives in Northern California. For more information, visit
