Why Being a 'Good Enough' Mum is the Greatest Gift You Can Give
Description
In this episode of The Imperfect Mum I explore the importance of maternal mental health and the unrealistic standards of perfectionism in motherhood. I explore the power of self-compassion, the significance of being a 'good enough' mum, and the impact of modelling kindness and resilience with yourself and how our children learn from what they see. Lots of practical tips for self-care, balancing responsibilities, and breaking the cycle of perfectionism to create a healthier mindset for mothers and a happier life.
