Today, Kaitlin is joined by poet, author, and longtime friend Nancy Reddy - a connection that has spanned the lifetime of Kaitlin's youngest child. Funny how parenthood reshapes our sense of time and friendship.Nancy first appeared on the podcast back in Season 1, Episode 12, when she and her co-editor Emily Perez discussed their anthology The Long Devotion: Poets Writing Motherhood. Since then, Nancy's work has only expanded. She's a writing professor at Stockton University in New Jersey, the author of three books of poetry, and, most recently, the author of her first narrative nonfiction book, The Good Mother Myth: Unlearning Our Bad Ideas About How to Be a Good Mom, published by St. Martin's Press in January of this year.Nancy's writing also spans a wide range of essays on motherhood, identity, and culture. She has written for Slate, Romper, and Electric Literature, tackling topics like the damaging mythology of the "golden hour" after birth, the challenges of making mom friends, the whiteness of the motherhood memoir, and the inherently political nature of mothering.In this conversation — recorded in person during the Association of Writers & Writing Programs (AWP) Conference in Los Angeles — Kaitlin and Nancy dive deep into how modern American myths about motherhood have shaped Nancy's personal and creative life. They also explore Nancy's transition from poetry to research-driven nonfiction and the evolving intersection of writing, teaching, and living motherhood.Tune in for a heartfelt, thought-provoking conversation about storytelling, identity, and the truths we inherit and reshape.More of Nancy's work:Pocket UniverseDouble JinxAcadianaPlease subscribe wherever you get your podcasts and give us a rating.

In art, a one-sided image of 'the mother' as a self-sacrificing and nurturing figure prevails. Does a new visual language contribute to emancipation? We will discuss this with, amongst others, Katy Hessel, art historian, curator, broadcaster, and the bestselling author of The Story of Art without Men.Mothers have been banished to the private domain for centuries. This is also true in the art world. What are the social consequences of this? As part of the exhibition Good Mom/Bad Mom at the Centraal Museum in Utrecht and the publication Mothering Myths: An ABC on Art, Birth and Care, we unravel the clichés, stigmas, and myths surrounding the representation of motherhood.

In this weeks Roz & Mocha FML's , how to still feel like a good mom when your two sons no longer talk, being ok with not having a second child and parking problems

If you’ve ever laid your head down at night wondering, “Am I even doing this right?”—this episode is for you. This week on The Love Offering Podcast, I’m joined by fellow mom and friend Hallie Dye, author of You’re Still a Good Mom. In a world that glorifies perfection and filters out the mess, Hallie offers us something far more meaningful: grace. Together, we talk about surrendering our motherhood to the One who never fails—even when we often do. Hallie shares how her journey of raising kids revealed her weaknesses, but also led her to a deeper understanding of God’s strength. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the pressure to be a flawless parent, or if your own expectations have left you discouraged, I hope this conversation lifts that weight and replaces it with truth, compassion, and hope.

Raising a strong-willed kid is harder. Even draining sometimes. Sitting on the floor and playing with toys felt like the worst to me. I now realize that I found other playful ways to be with my kids… but I still sometimes feel a little guilty about not being a Barbie or Legos kind of mom.So when Dr. Shawn Hondorp invited me on her podcast, The Innovative Therapist, to talk about play and pack leadership, I have to admit, I may have baby barfed a little. But I love Shawn, and I had so much fun working out a definition of Pack Leadership with her recently, that I knew I could trust we'd have a great conversation. And I was SO right.It turns out that a playful attitude counts as playing with your kids. Woohoo. It is also a part of my personal recipe for Pack Leadership. It's a great way of thinking about leadership in any context, and I think you'll love this conversation as much as I did. I just love Shawn. Enjoy!As always, thanks for listening. Head over to Facebook, where you can join my free group Mastermind Parenting Community. We post tips and tools and do pop-up Live conversations where I do extra teaching and coaching to support you in helping your strong-willed children so that they can FEEL better and DO better.

In this week's episode of the podcast, we're getting real about all the pressure working moms feel to go over the top for their kids - from leprechaun traps and Valentine's treats to Pinterest-worthy birthday mornings, I'm calling out the comparison trap we fall into thanks to social media and well-meaning traditions, and walking you through how to redefine what success means for you as a mom. This episode will inspire you to ditch the guilt, stop "should-ing" on yourself, and instead create your own "Successful Mom Criteria" that actually aligns with your values. Trust me, this is one you'll want to listen to if you've ever felt like you're failing for not doing enough. Topics in this episode:Why holiday traditions don't define your worth as a mom How comparison sneaks in and steals your confidence The concept of "Successful Mom Criteria"—and how to create yours Real-life examples of what success as a mom can actually look like Questions to help you clarify your values and ditch the guilt for goodShow Notes & References:You can watch this episode on YouTube!

You're listening to Voices of Your Village and today I get to hang out with Nancy Reddy. She's the author of The Good Mother Myth. Her previous books include the poetry collections Pocket Universe and Double Jinx, a winner of the National Poetry Series. I think we need to be screaming this from the rooftops that when we're trying to be a good mom, it actually leads to bad mental health and that there isn't this spot where we're like, okay, check, we're a great mom now. We're going to drop the ball and we're going to make mistakes. And what it means for us as individuals to feel like we're doing enough and being enough is so personalized. I loved this breakdown with Rach after where we got to dive into what this looks like in everyday life for us and how it shows up personally. I'm super stoked to share this episode with you. I think it's a message that so many of us need on repeat.

Matt Crawford speaks with author Nancy Reddy about her book, The Good Mother Myth: Unlearning Our Bad Ideas About How to Be a Good Mom. When Reddy had her first child, she found herself suddenly confronted with the ideal of a being a perfect mother, but what is that and who defines it? For answers, Reddy turned to the mid-20th century social scientists and psychologists whose work still forms the basis of so much of what we believe about parenting. It seems ludicrous to imagine modern moms taking advice from midcentury researchers. Yet, their bad ideas about so-called “good” motherhood have seeped so pervasively into our cultural norms. In The Good Mother Myth, Reddy debunks the flawed lab studies, sloppy research, and straightforward misogyny of researchers from Harry Harlow, who claimed to have discovered love by observing monkeys in his lab, to the famous Dr. Spock, whose bestselling parenting guide included just one (1!) illustration of a father interacting with his child. This timely and thought-provoking book will make you laugh, cry, and want to scream (sometimes all at once). Blending history of science, cultural criticism, and memoir, The Good Mother Myth pulls back the curtain on the flawed social science behind our contemporary understanding of what makes a good mom.

This week my guest is Nancy Reddy, author of The Good Mother Myth: Unlearning Our Bad Ideas About How to Be a Good Mom. Timely and thought-provoking, Nancy Reddy unpacks and debunks the bad ideas that have for too long defined what it means to be a "good" mom.

Today on the show we're talking about a fascinating topic — how to unlearn the idea of being a so-called “good mom.” We're chatting today with Nancy Reddy, author of The Good Mother Myth: Unlearning Our Bad Ideas About How to Be a Good Mom, which comes out January 21 and helps us unwind, as the title suggests, “the good mother myth” and myths we've been told over the years about what it means to be quote-unquote “good” in the mom department. In this book, Nancy presents so much science-backed advice when it comes to parenting; in today's episode we talk about whether she sees parenting as an art, a science, or a little bit of both; so-called “mom guilt” and why it's so pervasive; why “the good mother myth” is wrong, but seductive nonetheless; how suffocating expectations put on mothers can be, and how it makes mothers feel like they're not good enough (which is a fallacy); how so many ideas of motherhood are antiquated and no longer serve us; and so much more. In addition to The Good Mother Myth, Nancy also wrote the poetry collections Pocket Universe and Double Jinx, which was a winner of the National Poetry Series, and alongside Emily Pérez, Nancy is the co-editor of The Long Devotion: Poets Writing Motherhood. Nancy's essays have appeared everywhere from Slate to Romper, Poets & Writers, The Millions, and elsewhere, and in addition to teaching writing at Stockton University, she writes the newsletter “Write More, Be Less Careful.” Take a listen to our really compelling conversation.

Timely and thought-provoking, Nancy Reddy's The Good Mother Myth: Unlearning Our Bad Ideas About How to Be a Good Mom unpacks and debunks the bad ideas that have for too long defined what it means to be a "good" mom. When Nancy Reddy had her first child, she found herself suddenly confronted with the ideal of a perfect mother—a woman who was constantly available, endlessly patient, and immediately invested in her child to the exclusion of all else. Reddy had been raised by a single working mother, considered herself a feminist, and was well on her way to a PhD. Why did doing motherhood "right" feel so wrong?  For answers, Reddy turned to the mid-20th century social scientists and psychologists whose work still forms the basis of so much of what we believe about parenting. It seems ludicrous to imagine modern moms taking advice from midcentury researchers. Yet, their bad ideas about so-called “good” motherhood have seeped so pervasively into our cultural norms.

Timely and thought-provoking, Nancy Reddy's The Good Mother Myth: Unlearning Our Bad Ideas About How to Be a Good Mom unpacks and debunks the bad ideas that have for too long defined what it means to be a "good" mom. When Nancy Reddy had her first child, she found herself suddenly confronted with the ideal of a perfect mother—a woman who was constantly available, endlessly patient, and immediately invested in her child to the exclusion of all else. Reddy had been raised by a single working mother, considered herself a feminist, and was well on her way to a PhD. Why did doing motherhood "right" feel so wrong?  For answers, Reddy turned to the mid-20th century social scientists and psychologists whose work still forms the basis of so much of what we believe about parenting. It seems ludicrous to imagine modern moms taking advice from midcentury researchers. Yet, their bad ideas about so-called “good” motherhood have seeped so pervasively into our cultural norms. In The Good Mother Myth, Reddy debunks the flawed lab studies, sloppy research, and straightforward misogyny of researchers from Harry Harlow, who claimed to have discovered love by observing monkeys in his lab, to the famous Dr. Spock, whose bestselling parenting guide included just one (1!) illustration of a father interacting with his child. This timely and thought-provoking book will make you laugh, cry, and want to scream (sometimes all at once). Blending history of science, cultural criticism, and memoir, The Good Mother Myth pulls back the curtain on the flawed social science behind our contemporary understanding of what makes a good mom.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for November 24, 2024 is: lenient • LEEN-yunt • adjective Someone or something described as lenient is not harsh, severe, or strict. In other words, they allow a lot of freedom and leeway, and do not punish or correct in a strong way. // The teacher was lenient in her grading after the holiday break. // Some concerned citizens felt the punishment was too lenient. See the entry > Examples: “In the adult section of the library, the patrons arrived generally by themselves. … If they did something as human as nodding off, they would be kicked out immediately. … The children's section was a little more lenient when it came to rules. A child would be splayed on the floor staring at the ceiling with their mittens and boots lying around them as though they were pieces of them that had broken off. There were children playing Battleship. There would be a child sitting in a chair shaped like a giant hand, reading up on the increasingly absurdly horrific circumstances of orphans while eating a box of Goldfish crackers.” — Heather O'Neill, “Lite-Brite Times Square,” Good Mom on Paper: Writers on Creativity and Motherhood, 2022 Did you know? If you've ever had a peaceful, easy feeling—perhaps brought on by someone who you know won't let you down—then you'll have no problem understanding the earliest meaning of lenient. When it entered English in the mid-1600s, lenient described something soothing—such as a medication—that relieved pain or stress, or otherwise enabled someone to take it easy. For a brief window of time it was even used as a noun, referring to any of various ointments and balms that help heal wounds in the long run. Lenient comes from the Latin verb lenire, meaning “to soften or soothe,” which in turn comes from the adjective lenis, meaning “soft or mild.” The “soothing or easing” sense of lenient is still in use today, but English speakers are more likely to apply it to someone who is lax with the rules (as in “a lenient professor”), who doesn't mind when someone acts like a certain kind of fool or takes it to the limit one more time.

Motherhood is an opportunity to build a legacy. This is the lesson that I learned from my grandmother, Lovina, whose story inspired this episode. This week, I unpack the journey of redefining motherhood beyond being a good mom, key questions that will help you uncover your unique path as a woman wearing multiple hats, and the power of intentionality and self-trust as a mom. Lovina is no longer on this side of earth, but I hope that this episode will inspire you to build a life and legacy that empowers you and your family for generations. Private coaching is now available.

Think fast: when you first became a mom, what expectations did you have? Chances are that many of us planned to be a certain type of mom, intentional or not: the crunchy mom, the do-it-all mom, the ‘little bit of everything' mom, and so on. But it doesn't take long in motherhood to realize that our ideal doesn't always match our life circumstances: that's why in this episode, Emily and Laura dive into the freedom of gospel motherhood. Inspired by their new book, Gospel Mom, they share three truths we find for motherhood in Scripture and the everlasting hope they bring. Let's break free of the labels and find our true identity in Christ. This episode is brought to you by our generous donors. If you'd like to join them or learn more, click here.
