What Fresh Hell: Laughing in the Face of Motherhood | Parenting Tips From Funny Moms

DEEP DIVE: Let's Stop Caring What People Think


Listen Later

This month, we're doing a deep dive series into letting things goarguments, unattainable standards, you name it! You can find the playlist with all of the episodes in the series here.

What if we didn't let other people's judgments change our game plans—as women, as mothers, and as humans? We're wired to pay attention to what other people think. There's a reason those judgments can be painful. Are there ways we can break free and care less?

In this episode Amy and Margaret discuss...

  • Why our innate need to be included (and not ostracized) is hard-wired
  • The "behavioral inhibition system" and how it gets triggered
  • Whose feelings and judgments we should take into account
  • Why parenting is an especially problematic zone for others' judgments of us

  • Here are links to some of the resources mentioned in the episode:

    • Our episode "Parenting With An Audience"
    • Governor J.B. Pritzker's speech to the 2023 graduates of Northwestern University: "The kindest person in the room is often the smartest."
