Permission to Be Average: Letting Go of Supermom Expectations
What if “good enough” is actually great?
In this hilarious and heartfelt episode of Your Emotional Support Podcast, we’re tackling one of the biggest traps moms fall into — the Supermom Myth. You know, the one that says you have to make organic snacks, run the PTA, crush it at work, keep the house spotless, and never, ever forget spirit day.
We’ll talk about where those impossible standards come from, how they quietly destroy our sense of worth, and why letting yourself be average might just be the most freeing thing you ever do.
Spoiler: “perfect” is exhausting — and no one wants a tired superhero.
💡 In This Episode, We’ll Talk About:
Why perfectionism feels like love but really leads to burnout
How “doing it all” keeps you from feeling enough
Why embracing “good enough” actually makes you better
How to model self-compassion for your kids (and yourself)
Simple mindset shifts to release unrealistic expectations
🧠 Why You’ll Love It
This episode feels like a permission slip to drop the cape, throw your hair in a messy bun, and remember that your worth was never tied to your to-do list.
You’ll laugh, nod, and maybe exhale for the first time in a while.
