We Are More Than Moms

The Recovering Perfectionist’s Guide to Motherhood with Jennie Monness


Listen Later

Today we’re joined by Jennie Monness: early childhood educator, entrepreneur, podcast host, and founder of Union Square Play and Charmspring, for a raw and refreshing conversation about modern motherhood. Jennie opens up about her journey as a recovering perfectionist: how she’s learned to let go, embrace her imperfections, and offer herself the same grace she hopes to model for her kids. We dive into the importance of routines (and when to let go of them), how to navigate public meltdowns, and what it really means to parent with intention vs. not pressure.


This episode is full of bite-sized wisdom: from why simply asking your child ‘why’ can be a game-changer, to what she learned about socialization while parenting during COVID, to why it might be time to stop emphasizing “sharing” with toddlers. Jennie offers grounded, actionable advice that will leave every mom feeling seen, supported, and just a little more confident in doing things her way.
