Zibby chats with author Nancy Reddy about THE GOOD MOTHER MYTH, an incisive, meticulously researched, and beautifully written book that blends science, cultural criticism, and memoir to challenge the unrealistic expectations placed on mothers and advocate for a more compassionate, community-driven approach to parenting. Nancy unpacks the damaging "supermom" ideal and explains why understanding motherhood as a shared, relational experience—rather than a solo performance—is key to parental well-being and children's development. Nancy offers wisdom on navigating early parenthood, letting go of perfectionism, and embracing the power of asking for help.
