Perfectly Imperfect

Perfectly, imperfect is the podcast for high achieving, perfectionist women struggling to see their worth in motherhood, with Ria Oliver, owner of The Maternal Wellbeing Foundation, and emotional coach and therapist for anxious, maxed out mums. I believe that when a woman truly finds herself in motherhood, it is often for the very first time in her life, and only then is she able to shed the weight of expectation, conditioning, judgement and her worth being tied into productivity, and that this is one of the most freeing journeys a woman can go on. Join me while we delve into being perfectly imperfect and step into being uniquely you in motherhood. New episodes every Thursday.

    Imperfection is Freedom

    When we step away from perfectionism and always being the good girl, you will find a freedom like no other. Beacuse imperfection gives you freedom, where as perfectionism gives you restraints and rigid rules. If perfectionism is avoidance, guilt, shame and disassociation in action, what steps can we take to allow imperfection in and find freedom in our minds and emotions? I'll talk you through it in this episode. 📞Book Your FREE Online Support Call Follow me here; @maternalwellbeingfoundation Find out about how I can support you here.

    Why the people pleasing girl feels lost in a relationship

    As the people pleasing girl, you have always put the needs of others before your own, but if not addressed, you will start to feel lost in your relationship because of it. It's not just that you are passing ships in the night. Or you don't get each other anymore. Or that you are busy being parents but that it will settle down. It's that motherhood has ramped up your people pleasing, perfectionist habits and it has caused fractures in your relationship. In this episode we talk about why and how you can start to work through it.

  4. Perfectionism & Traumatic Birth Experiences

    FEB 27

    Perfectionism & Traumatic Birth Experiences

    Trigger Warning; talk of trauma and pregnancy loss Birth trauma is a complex issue in it's own right. But there are so many layers added on top of the birth trauma experience, for people with perfectionism. Your need to be in control, always be 10 steps ahead and to do things right is put to the test when in a birth experience where things are largely out of your hands. And antenatal education only really teaches you to stay calm, but doesn't teach you to how to let go of your perfectionist habits, need to be in control or your fears and worries, in order to stay calm and emotionally in control. In this episode I dig into how your perfectionist habits feed into how you feel about your birth experience, and what you can do to move past those difficult feelings.

  5. Good Girls & Bad Mums

    FEB 20

    Good Girls & Bad Mums

    Today I explore how many women will see themselves as 'good girls', but also berate themselves for being 'bad Mums', when the two things cannot be true at once. How could you be so good in all areas of your life, but feel like you are a bad person in the one area that matters the most to you - motherhood? Let's get curious about the stories you tell yourself about who you are and your worth, and start to find that sweet spot between good and bad, where you are empowered to just be 'you'.

  7. Perfectionism, Procrastination & Avoidance

    FEB 6

    Perfectionism, Procrastination & Avoidance

    As a perfectionist you have an all or nothing attitude; you're either going to do it all or not at all, but when you do nothing the thoughts can creep in about your worth, which make you turn to coping mechanisms that don't actually help you cope at all. And then you get stuck in a perfectionism, procrastination and avoidance cycle. In this episode we look at how procrastination is anxiety, how numbing or distracting yourself is actually creating more overwhelm and some tools to help you challenge these cycles. 📞Book Your FREE Online Support Call

    Perfect Perceptions vs Imperfect Reality

    If what other people think of you is out of your control, and you don't know what they are thinking anyway, how can you ever be 'perfect' enough to live up to those expectations without feeling like you fail? In this episode we explore how peoples perceptions aren't anyhting to do with the reality of who you are, but how trying to meet those expectations has meant you've lost yourself. Lets start to focus on the one persons opinion who matters the most - YOURS. 📞Book Your FREE Online Support Call

  9. Toxic Productivity & Perfectionism

    JAN 23

    Toxic Productivity & Perfectionism

    In this episode I talk about how toxic productivity is actually emotional dysregulation for perfectionist mothers and women. In a culture that celebrates women being busy and maxed out how do we start to unlearn who and what we think we should be to keep others happy, and let in more of what makes you happy. Let's move away from toxic productivity as a way to prove your worth, and start to see your own value and slow things down. 📞Book Your FREE Online Support Call

  10. The Roles you Play in your Life

    The Roles you Play in your Life

    As a perfectionist, one of the many things you have perfected is playing different roles for the different people in your life, which fulfils a need in you to be seen in a certain light by others. But it also helps you lose yourself a little bit faster. When being you has never felt enough, being who others expect you to be fills a void...until it doesn't any longer.

  11. My Journey from Perfect to Imperfect

    JAN 9

    My Journey from Perfect to Imperfect

    Join me in this episode where I talk openly and honestly about my own journey steeping out of the good girl complex and perfectionism as a person, as a mother and as a therapist. Here I talk about what I opened my eyes to once I realised the habits I had that were creating a persona of who I thought I should be, and losing who I really was. Becoming a mother is what cracked these habits open for me, and becoming a mother to a daughter is what cemented in me what I needed to do differently for her, and for myself. Here I unlock the journey I know so many of you are on right now. 📞Book Your FREE Online Support Call
