Hello Brave Friends! This is an Ask Us Anything episode in which YOU, the listener, get to write or call in and, you guessed it, ASK US ANYTHING!
In this Ask Us Anything episode, #201, we are responding to the question, Am I alone in feeling like there is extra pressure on us caregiving mothers to be saint-like in our parenting?
In this episode, the hosts celebrate the New Year and the start of Season 8 by reflecting on their experiences of motherhood. They discuss the unexpected gifts that come with being a mother, the pressures of perfection, and the importance of authenticity and vulnerability in parenting. The conversation emphasizes the need for self-compassion and the understanding that it's okay to not always be a 'perfect' parent. The hosts encourage listeners to embrace the “rainbow” of emotions that come with motherhood and to recognize that their struggles are shared by many.
