Overview: In this episode, I talk with mom Meredith Redmon on lowering your expectations and letting go of perfectionism.
Takeaway #1: Social media still captivates us. We still enjoy looking at the perception of others’ perfect lives.
Takeaway #2: The phrase “A Good Mother Should” does nothing but increase guilt and shame and it has to go.
Takeaway #3: We expect our children to be a reflection of us - so we try to be perfect in the hopes that they will be, too.
Your turn: Expectations of perfectionism can hold you back and your mental health can suffer. Did you hope to be a perfect mom? DM me on Instagram @on.the.hard.days and share it with me! You are a rockstar, Mama!
