Beyond the Bump

Replay: Why being a ’Good Enough’ Mother is more than good enough - debunking the perfect parent myth with Dr Sophie Brock, sociologist


Listen Later

This week on Beyond the Bump, we’re revisiting Episode 146 with Dr. Sophie Brock, a sociologist who unpacks the ‘perfect mother myth.’ She explains why being a 'good enough' mother is not only okay but often better for us and our kids.

We discuss how social media amplifies motherhood pressures, the anger-guilt trap, and how much attention kids really need each day. Dr. Brock also shares what real self-care looks like—practical ways to care for ourselves without adding more stress.
