Excerpt: "But I think when you have this idea of how things are gonna go, and they don't meet those expectations, it can be really difficult as a mother....When I started seeing [rage], I had no idea that could be a symptom of anxiety. I thought I was just mean now. And that makes me so sad to say! Am I just not a nice person anymore? Do I have no patience, no tolerance?

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!
