If you’ve ever listened to a podcast while checking email while waiting for the washer to stop so you can turn laundry over, oh, AND you’re also feeding your baby, have a listen to my interview with Lisa Carpenter.

Lisa is an anti-performance performance coach –and if you’re an overthinking multi-tasker who hasn’t considered your own needs and is attempting to be a perfect parent, you need her perspectives on dismantling the ideas we have about motherhood, busyness, and parenting.

In this interview, Lisa unpacks:

• Why BEING more doesn’t mean DOING more

• How the stories we tell ourselves (including the ones about whether we’re “good” moms) are just that: stories

• Redefining what makes a “good mom”

• The HALT acronym for supporting yourself

• The power of being present

• Why chaos can feel normal, and calm feels uncomfortable (and how to change that)

• The value of self-compassion
