The Real Mother Effort Podcast

Modern Day Parents are Completely Overwhelmed (And the Government Agrees)


Listen Later

In this debut episode, Lauren dives into the critical conversation about modern parenting stress, examining the groundbreaking 2024 Surgeon General's Advisory Report "Parents Under Pressure." As a consultant for working moms and a mother herself, Lauren breaks down why this report matters and what is needed to help make their improvement suggestions a reality.

 Key Points Discussed:

  • The significance of the Surgeon General's Advisory Report and its validation of what many parents already feel - an overwhelming sense of stress and pressure in modern parenting.
  • The report's key recommendations for parents.
  • A personal perspective on why traditional organizing solutions aren't enough - working moms need comprehensive strategies to manage both the physical and mental load of parenting.
  • Why the current "normal" of overwhelming stress shouldn't be accepted as inevitable, and how a more strategic approach to family management might be the answer.
