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

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! If you want to follow Dr Sophie Brock on instagram, you can find her (and all her wisdom) at @drsophiebrock .
