Beyond the Bump

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

Listen Later

In our 146th episode of Beyond the Bump, we chat with Dr Sophie Brock. Sophie is a sociologist and we talk all about why being a 'good enough' mother is good enough or better than striving to be the 'perfect' mother!!!

  • What is the ‘perfect mother myth’?
  • Why is it NOT beneficial to our kids if we are the so-called ‘perfect mother’?
  • Do you think social media highlights the pressures of being the perfect mother more so than in the past?
  • The importance of having conversations about what it means to be a mother in today’s day and age.
  • How much attention/one-on-one time do our kids actually need each day?
  • Sophie speaks to the anger-guilt trap!
  • What does self-care actually look like? And how can we self-care in a way that actually feels good and doesn’t just lead to greater stress and expectations?
  • And SO MUCH MORE!
