I’m interviewing Olivia Scobie, social worker and author of Impossible Parenting, about the culture of impossible parenting, its impact on our mental health, and how we need a shift from self-care to self-parenting. Show notes: summerinnanen.com/192 In this episode, we chat about: - How Olivia’s own experiences led her to work in perinatal mental health,

- What the culture of impossible parenting is and that it’s very outwardly oriented, - How diet culture has permeated into the culture of impossible parenting, - That it’s normal to have contradictory feelings, because it’s not possible to fully escape impossible parenting or diet culture, so you need to be gentle with yourself, - How parenting involves a lot of guilt, and a question to ask yourself to help you through it, - What self-parenting is and how to navigate it, Plus so much more!
