Hey everyone, Colette and Laura here! This week, we're diving deep into one of the biggest, most emotionally loaded topics: What makes a good mother? If you're a parent (or ever had one), you've likely asked yourself this question in some form—whether it's self-reflection, societal pressure, or those internalized voices from childhood.We unpack the emotional complexities of motherhood, the impact of attachment, and how our childhood experiences shape the way we parent. Plus, we dive into the wild case of Ruby Franke—the “mommy blogger” turned convicted abuser—to contrast what real maternal love looks like versus performative parenting. We also get personal about our own mothering styles, the mistakes we've made, and the lessons we've learned. This episode is raw, honest, and full of insights that might just shift the way you think about motherhood. Episode Highlights:[0:02] – Kicking off the conversation: What really makes a “good mother”?[1:44] – The constant self-questioning of moms: Am I doing this right?[2:11] – The shocking case of Ruby Franke—what happens when motherhood is all about image and control.[6:37] – How we model (or reject) our own mothers' parenting styles.[10:14] – One of the most critical traits of a good mom: Knowing where you end and your child begins.[12:30] – The emotional burden some mothers put on their children (and how to break the cycle).[15:29] – The role of discipline: Leading with warmth vs. using shame and control.[21:10] – Parenting different personalities: How to adapt to your child's unique needs.[23:53] – Why the parent-child relationship is always top-down (yes, even when your kids are adults).[31:15] – What our own kids say makes a good mom (these answers might surprise you!).[36:35] – The lifelong impact of emotional safety and feeling unconditionally loved.[42:42] – Why telling kids an age-appropriate truth is crucial for their stability and trust.[46:24] – The viral “Door Holder #3” moment that perfectly captures great parenting.  Resources:Door Holder Number 3 Video: https://youtube.com/shorts/T8AlmEjmtLU?si=1-eDTo6MSAesGgkj For more on this topic visit our website insightsfromthecouch.org If you have questions please email us at info@insightsfromthecouch.org we would love to hear from you!If today's discussion resonated with you or sparked curiosity, please rate, follow, and share "Insights from the Couch" with others.

Many of us grew up believing in that women are particularly biologically designed to nurture—which means that a mother will immediately and instinctively know how to parent, be better at it than the other adults around her and the baby, and that she'd really prefer to do the caretaking work on her own. Nancy Reddy says all of that is THE GOOD MOTHER MYTH, and in her new book, uncovers the shoddy and old-fashioned science beneath our bad ideas about how to be a good mom. In this interview, Nancy and Amy discuss: where the "good mother myth" originated how being a good mother is all-encompassing so that we never lift our heads to see the larger picture or argue for structural, societal change how the expectation that mothers can or should do it all harms all parents Here's where you can find Nancy: www.nancyreddy.com @nancy.o.reddy on IG @nancy_reddy on X Subscribe to the "Write More, Be Less Careful" newsletter at nancyreddy.substack.com Buy THE GOOD MOTHER MYTH: https://bookshop.org/a/12099/9781250336644 We love the sponsors that make this show possible!

Parenting comes with a lot of expectations, but have you ever stopped to ask where they come from? On this episode of This Is Woman's Work, we unpack the myth of “the good mother” with Nancy Reddy, author of The Good Mother Myth. Nancy shares her personal experience of confronting the unrealistic ideal of motherhood: endlessly patient, always available, and completely selfless. She hilariously and heartbreakingly debunks these outdated ideals, rooted in flawed mid-20th-century research by figures like Harry Harlow and Dr. Spock. Nancy explains how bad science from the past continues to haunt modern parenting, creating pressure, guilt, and shame for today's mothers. But this conversation is about more than debunking myths—it's about empowerment. Because when you prioritize what matters and let go of perfectionism, you're not just doing woman's work—you're modeling it.

In this episode of The Feminist Mom Podcast, Erin sits down with Nancy Reddy, author of the forthcoming book The Good Mother Myth, which challenges the unrealistic expectations placed on mothers. Together, they discuss the cultural narratives that shape motherhood, the history of these ideals, and how we can create healthier, more equitable family dynamics.

Topics Discussed: The origins of The Good Mother Myth and Nancy's inspiration for writing it The cultural expectations of motherhood and how they impact parents The value of caregiving work and paid care in today's society Intensive mothering, attachment theory, and breaking free from societal “shoulds” How to seek help, build community support, and share parenting responsibilities Nancy's reflections on her own early years of motherhood Nancy Reddy is a writer, teacher, and author of The Good Mother Myth, coming January 21, 2025.

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. The Good Mother Myth: Unlearning Our Bad Ideas About How to Be a Good Mom by Nancy Reddy

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. This interview was conducted by Dr. Shui-yin Sharon Yam, author of the new book Doing Gender Justice: Queering Reproduction, Kin, and Care (Johns Hopkins University Press).  Learn more about your ad choices.

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. This interview was conducted by Dr. Shui-yin Sharon Yam, author of the new book Doing Gender Justice: Queering Reproduction, Kin, and Care (Johns Hopkins University Press).  Learn more about your ad choices.

Still, from that challenging moment, she built a revolutionary approach to owning and investing time to live richly and intentionally.In this episode, Heather and I dive into her signature concept of "energetic time management," where time isn't just about productivity or calendars; it's about aligning your energy, values, and desires to create a life that feels as good as it looks. She shares the origin of this system, the profound realizations she had while juggling motherhood and a career, and why most of us are in what she calls "time debt." Heather explains how to break free, set boundaries, and treat time like money—because every moment matters.We'll also talk about practical strategies: building a dream calendar and redefining your relationship with time.

Balancing personal needs with the demands of motherhood can be incredibly challenging. It's common to prioritize your children's needs, but it's also important to care for yourself to avoid burnout. Finding small moments for self-care and setting boundaries can help maintain your well-being. Remember, taking care of yourself ultimately benefits your entire family by allowing you to be more present and fulfilled. Heather Chauvin is the author of the book "Dying to be a Good Mother" and the podcast "Emotionally Uncomfortable." As a mother of three boys, Heather has navigated the challenges of balancing personal needs with the demands of parenting. Today, Heather discusses the importance of self-care, setting boundaries, and redefining societal expectations in order to thrive as a mother and individual. Join in as young leaders pose inquiries about life, personal development, and beyond! Quotes: “The fuller we are, the better we can lead from a healthier place, advocating for our children, ourselves, and everything else.” – Heather Chauvin “Balance is BS. I'm all about alignment, which is why thriving is essential, not optional.” – Heather Chauvin “Thriving is a privilege and a birthright, accessible to all. The belief that fulfilling your desires is selfish, especially for women raising children, needs to be rewritten.” – Heather Chauvin Takeaways: Implement the "Wouldn't it be nice if..." journaling exercise to identify personal desires and the feelings behind them. Practice setting boundaries and communicating needs to family members, even if it feels uncomfortable at first. Reflect on the areas of your life that need more attention and focus on reverse engineering how you want to feel, rather than just checking boxes. Conclusion: Prioritizing personal well-being and self-care is essential amidst the demands of motherhood. Taking time to care for oneself not only benefits a mother's mental and physical health but also enhances her ability to care for her family. By finding balance and recognizing the value of self-care, mothers can navigate the challenges of parenting with more energy, patience, and resilience. Ultimately, caring for oneself creates a positive ripple effect that strengthens both personal well-being and family dynamics.

I absolutely loved this book and was so excited to invite Minna to speak with me for this episode. Minna's writing has been featured in The New York Times, The Times, Salon, and many other publications. As a leading feminist voice on mom rage, Minna has also appeared on MSNBC, Good Morning America, The Tamron Hall Show, NBC10 Boston and NPR. Minna is from California and lives with her husband and two children. In this conversation, we talked about Minna's experience of becoming a mother and what her difficulties were during this time. We talk about rage in motherhood, exploring the social elements that play a role in this and the power of treating your anger with compassion.  We also discussed: ·      The intensity that can come with difficult seasons of motherhood and the importance in having faith and self-belief that you can and will make it through these challenging times. We also discuss the power of drawing on previous experiences of when you have overcome challenging times to help foster this belief. ·      The need for time, space and separateness in mothering and how this is often perceived negatively in our society due to patriarchal internalised modelling that has led to the belief that a ‘good' mother wants to be around her children and husband all the time and who doesn't have needs of her own.·      Minna's identity as being a bisexual Queer woman married to a cis-man, how becoming a mother intensified this experience and how she used writing to help process her second ‘coming out' experience once she was a mother, and the part this played in her returning to herself.  -       The internalised belief of the “good mother - good child” association that is held in many facets of our society, and how this can manifest in relation to neurodiversity and behavioural differences in children.And much more.  Here is where you can find out more about me (Yara), how to work with me and some resources:Why Am I So Angry Workshop*** Waitlist for The Rebirth, Group Coaching for Mamas *** This is my signature 3 months online group coaching container for mothers which covers family of origin, inner child work, nervous system basics, anger, boundaries and much more. @lifeafterbirthpsychology  www.lifeafterbirth.com.auFree Inner Critic WorkbookFree Values Aligned Living Workbook  Find out more about Minna in these places:www.minnadubin.comMinna on Instagram Minna on TwitterYou can purchase Minna's book “Mom Rage: The Everyday Crisis Of Modern Motherhood” here – it's an incredible, comprehensive and detailed exploration on the rage felt my mothers, and I hugely recommend giving it a read! Looking for support for anger while you mother?

Send us a Text Message.Welcome to the show today, and I am so glad you're here. I want to start today by sharing something that my friend Amy sent to me yesterday. This is a meme entitled "How to be a mom in 2017. "We could actually change that to "2024" because it still applies to us today.Make sure your children's academic, emotional, psychological, mental, spiritual, physical, nutritional and social needs are met. While being careful not to overstimulate, under-stimulate, and properly medicate, helicopter, or neglect them in a screen-free processed foods-free, GMO-free, negative energy-free, plastic-free body positive, socially conscious, egalitarian but also authoritative, nurturing, but fostering independence. Gentle but not overly permissive, pesticide-free, two-story multilingual home preferably in a cul de sac, with a backyard and 1.5 siblings spaced at least two years apart for proper development. Also, don't forget the coconut oil. Then, it goes on to say, "How to be a mom in literally every generation before ours. Feed them sometimes."Oh my gosh, we were having a huge conversation about how we can feel so exhausted that we can feel like we've lost ourselves as moms or feel like we're constantly abandoning our own needs. If you are relating to this, you're going to love my special guest today Heather Chauvin. Heather has been named the next-generation thought leader in parenting and women's leadership. She's the author of Dying to Be a Good Mother and the podcast host of Emotionally Uncomfortable, and Heather's work supports women to manage their energy and time so they don't have to sacrifice their impact at work or at home with their kids.
