214: The Raw Truth About Mom Anxiety & Making ‘Right’ Choices


Listen Later

Do you constantly worry about making the "right choice" for your kids and fear that you're going to "mess them up?"

I was so excited to talk with Dr. Tuesday Watts, a psychologist and incredible advocate for maternal mental health, to dive into the messy, raw, and unspoken parts of motherhood that fuel our anxiety. We tackle the toxic idea of "perfectionism" head-on and share why dropping the impossible standards is the only way to find peace.

What We Discussed:
  • Humanizing motherhood
  • The Perfectionist Trap
  • The Full Spectrum of Feelings
  • Why "Hacks" Don't Work
  • The Power of Self-Trust
  • Rupture and Repair
