163. The perfect mother myth w/ Dr. Sophie Brock Pregnancy with Physio Laura

I’m excited to have Dr. Sophie Brock @drsophiebrock on the podcast this week to chat all about motherhood, cultural norms and how mothers are placed in society right now. Sophie is a Motherhood Studies Sociologist and speaks so well to this topic that affects so many women.

 

In this episode we discuss:

📍What is the perfect mother myth?

📍Why do so many mothers feel a sense of loneliness or failure? And why is it not their fault?

📍Practices to help us identify the false “rules” we place on ourselves and what our values truly are

📍Comparison and competition in motherhood

📍Mum guilt and shame

📍Mothering versus motherhood - what is the difference?

📍The care versus career conundrum that many mothers face
