In this episode, Kreed discusses the complexities of estrangement between parents and adult children, focusing on the emotional disconnect that often arises despite parents' best efforts to provide materially. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding emotional needs, generational differences in expressions of love, and the necessity of self-reflection and empathy in healing relationships. Kreed encourages parents to recognize their own childhood experiences and how they shape their parenting, ultimately advocating for compassion towards oneself and one's children as a pathway to reconnection. Takeaways - Change can be difficult, but it's essential for growth. - Estrangement often stems from unmet emotional needs. - Material provisions do not always equate to emotional connection. - Generational differences affect how love is expressed. - Reflection on one's own childhood is crucial for healing. - Empathy and compassion are vital for rebuilding relationships. - There is no perfect parent; we all make mistakes. - Parenting is a journey of continuous learning and growth. - Understanding your child's perspective can foster connection. - You're not alone in your journey of estrangement. http://www.TheEstrangedHeart.com Email Kreed at: TheEstrangedHeart@gmail.com Leave a voicemail for Kreed: https://www.theestrangedheart.com/voicemail/ Coaching with Kreed - https://TheEstrangedHeart-scheduler.as.me/COACHING Facebook Support Group for estranged moms: facilitated by Kreed: https://www.facebook.com/groups/estrangedmotherssupportgroup If you wish to become a financial supporter of the podcast and Kreed's work with estranged parents & adult children:  https://www.buymeacoffee.com/kreedrevere  (one time donation) --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/theestrangedheart/support

In this episode, Dr. Dunni explores the myth of perfection, particularly in the context of motherhood. She emphasizes that striving for perfection is unrealistic and encourages listeners to define their version of "perfect" by accepting reasonable and unreasonable flaws. Dr. Dunni shares personal anecdotes and practical strategies for self-improvement, such as dedicating just 10 minutes a day to personal growth activities like journaling or walking.    KEY TAKEAWAYS Striving for perfection is unrealistic and often leads to unnecessary guilt and self-criticism. It's important to redefine what "perfect" means personally, acknowledging that flaws are a natural part of life. Instead of comparing yourself to others, focus on your growth. Set realistic goals and compare your progress to your past self rather than others, as everyone has a unique journey. Begin your self-development journey with small, manageable steps. Dedicate just 10 minutes daily to activities that enhance your physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual well-being, such as journaling or walking. Incorporate your children into your self-development activities. This not only sets a positive example for them but also creates a supportive environment where both you and your children can learn and grow together. Learn to say no to avoid overcommitting yourself. Establishing boundaries is essential for maintaining your well-being and ensuring that you have the time and energy to focus on your personal growth.   BEST MOMENTS "Being perfect is truly a myth... we need to create expectations that are realistic for ourselves and for those around us." "Perfect is... Please Expect Reasonable and unreasonable Flaws, Especially as I Continue Trying." "Your journey of self-development is like a marathon. It's not a sprint." "When you say no to something or to someone, you are saying yes to you." "You need a supportive community... people who would say, hey, I've got you, I see you, I hear you."   CONNECT ON SOCIAL MEDIA Ig- https://www.instagram.com/druwa.lifecoach/ YouTube- https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9C1oJwHyISEuqiX8USaYKg CH- https://www.clubhouse.com/@drdunni-druwa FB- https://www.facebook.com/druwaacademy Twitter- https://twitter.com/Druwa8 Patreon - https://patreon.com/wellbeing4mothers  HOST BIO Your host Dr Dunni is the award-winning mum empowerment coach, Family doctor, International speaker, Best-selling author of the book ‘Every Mum is a Super Mum' and a mum herself who is passionate about health and wellbeing.

In this insightful episode of the Working Mumma podcast, I chat with Dr. Sophie Brock, a renowned motherhood studies sociologist, to delve into the constant pressure that mothers face in their quest for perfection (secret - there is no such thing). Sophie has an extensive background and career journey in sociology, focusing on motherhood, sheds light on how cultural and societal norms shape the unrealistic expectations placed on mothers today. We explored the term "good enough mother," and the social constructs that don't reflect women today, particularly as working mothers. Sophie shared the common myths and misconceptions that fuel the pursuit of perfection in motherhood, revealing the detrimental effects this mindset can have and debunking the 'perfect mother myth'. Sophie shares practical advice and strategies and provides steps that you can take to begin letting go of the need to be perfect and embrace a more compassionate, "good enough" approach to parenting. We also speak about social media's role in perpetuating the perfect mother myth and how setting realistic expectations can lead to a more fulfilling and authentic motherhood experience. Tune in to gain valuable insights and to hear Sophie's vision for what modern motherhood can truly be. ************************************************************************* Connect with Sophie via Instagram @drsophiebrock or her website drsophiebrock.com Follow Working Mumma on Instagram @workingmummacommuity for regular inspiration and tips on working mum life or connect with Carina on LinkedIn www.linkedin.com/in/carina-obrien.  Join the free Working Mumma Community Get your free 'How to share the mental load' checklist workingmumma.com.au/mental-load/

What does it mean to be a good mom? Society has created this image of what it means to be "good" in the role, and it can be summed up through The Perfect Mother Myth. So this week, I am unpacking the expectations we are held to under this social construct with the intention of bringing awareness to the absurdity of what is expected of mothers and why we have to check ourselves when it comes to the standards we are holding ourselves to. I'm sharing The Perfect Mother Myth as it has been discussed through my work with Motherhood Studies Sociologist Dr. Sophie Brock, and also presenting Professor Andrea O'Reilly's 8 Rules of Good Mothering to illustrate just how intense the unspoken rules for mothers are. This isn't just my experience - the myth of the perfect mother is based on real research of what is expected of moms.

On this episode of the EBB podcast, we are talking with Avital Norman Nathman, author and freelance writer about trends in birth and parenthood in the US.   Avital is a freelance writer and editor who focuses her work on motherhood, maternal health, gender and reproductive rights and justice. Her writing, which places a feminist lens on a variety of topics, including motherhood, maternal health, gender, reproductive rights, and cannabis, can be found in a variety of print and online articles for outlets like The New York Times, Teen Vogue, Rolling Stone, Cosmopolitan, VICE, and more.    Her first book, The Good Mother Myth: Redefining Motherhood to Fit Reality, provides a platform for diverse voices that often get left out of the conversations surrounding parenting. Avital is currently working on two new books. She is a co-editor for an anthology on abortion, and her upcoming book, The Perfect Birth Myth, combines research, expert analysis, and narrative experiences to look at the intersection of the birth industry and the health care system to understand how this ideal of the perfect birth came about, why it's a red herring, and how we can do better to ensure that all folks who are pregnant can have access to quality care and the chance at a birth that is safe and that they are comfortable with.   Avital discusses the evolution of “motherhood” from the early aughts and “Mommy blogging” to internet activism, connection, and the ongoing “mommy wars” of the internet. Additionally, Avital discusses her upcoming and ongoing projects related to writing about the current state of having a baby in the US healthcare system and political climate, while calling out the experiences of marginalized populations and bringing forth the less obvious but very important consequences of the Dobbs decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.   Trigger Warning: abortion, miscarriage, hemorrhage, Dobbs decision, Roe v.

Take just a few minutes with me to pause and explore what your hopes, dreams, expectations, and needs are for Mother's Day. It can be really common to have high hopes for holidays like Mother's Day then feel disappointed, under-appreciated, and hurt if it didn't live up to our ideals, and expectations. So let's walk through a process that'll help you have a more beautiful, meaningful Mother's Day, and feel deeply seen, known, loved, and valued this weekend, and always. In this episode I help you bring to awareness what's beneath the surface, and give you some tips for communicating more easily and openly with your husband to avoid getting stuck in unmet, unspoken expectations, comparison, disappointment, resentment, and emotional disconnect. I share the #1 most important thing you can do to feel like your cup is full, and overflowing, even if your relationship is struggling, motherhood is feeling really dang hard and discouraging, and you're not receiving as much love and affirmation as you would have liked to. Let's dive in and have a heart to heart.

The other day one of my sons asked me to find a picture for him, one at about the time he was 5 or 6 years old. IN my quest for this certain picture, I took a trip down memory lane, looking through so many pictures of our young family.  But what I mostly focused on was the young mother in those pictures, the younger version of me deep in the throes of motherhood.  As I looked into her eyes, I could see a mother who would do and give anything for her family, but who constantly wondered if she would ever be good enough for them.   I could see a mother who, despite her best efforts, went to bed each night with a long list of regrets and things she messed up during the day, hoping that she didn't permanently scar her children for life.   I saw a woman who loved her family fiercely but often forgot to love herself, focusing so many times on her own imperfections, even questioning why God would trust her to raise these children in the first place.If I had the chance to put my arms around her and talk with her, knowing what I know now,  what would I tell her?  In this episode I will reveal the six things that I would want her and every mother listening to know, the most important being that you ARE the perfect mother for your children.  To connect with Angela AdamsShoot me an email: angela@angelaadamscoaching.comTo get on my calendar, click on this link: https://coachwithangela.as.me/Visit my website to subscribe to my weekly email: https://www.angelaadamscoaching.com/To access your FREE guide to managing your emotions: https://www.angelaadamscoaching.com/lead-collectionI would appreciate your help!

You told us this morning about what your perfect Mother's day would be.

The ‘perfect mother myth' permeates our culture; it implies ‘children before mother' and asks you to pour copious amounts of energy, money and time into your child.

There is a piecing-back-together that we are called to do after we go through a journey of pulling apart the version of motherhood we've been sold. To ask: well, what DO I want for my motherhood? If I understand the perfect mother myth, and how we're 'swimming' within a culture that sets us up for a certain experience of motherhood, what are the next steps I can take after unpacking these realizations? I speak to these types of questions in this episode and reflect on the process of what it means to go on the journey of unpacking how we have internalised the ‘perfect mother myth' and have been socialized into the expectations of what it means to be a ‘Mother'. The birth of a new awareness, and (re)creation of a new identity can feel alluring, exciting, liberating, and/or empowering. But it can also feel really unsettling, especially at first. This episode speaks to this experience and on how we can build new models of what it means to be a mother. I consider a model of ‘integrated' motherhood, and invite you to reflect on some questions about your own sense of self and identity. . . .

What does it actually mean to say that motherhood is 'social' or 'constructed' through our culture? Why should we care about motherhood-culture and how does it impact and influence individual mothers, and our children? What is the perfect mother myth, how does it show up in our lives, and what can we do about shifting how we feel about ourselves as mothers? What's the alternative? These are some of the questions I speak to in this episode.

Finally, 2CC is back from its unplanned hiatus! The situation looked rocky for a while, what with the dead computer and the initially malfunctioning replacement computer (I blame the Mercury Retrograde), but everything is in working order now. Here's a new episode in the bonus 2CC series Off the Cuff, which Arthur recorded two weeks ago with his Discord book-club mate Saba. The two of them discuss the work of author Colleen Hoover, who typically writes contemporary romances but also pens thrillers every now and then. Two of her books, It Ends with Us and Verity, have already been covered on the podcast, and now you'll get to hear the hosts give their opinions on even more of them. They also dive into topics like the cultural impact of Fifty Shades of Grey, the pressure that the Perfect Mother stereotype puts on moms, and step-sibling incest. CoHo books read by Arthur: • November 9 • Ugly Love • It Ends with Us • Verity • Too Late • Maybe Someday CoHo books read by Saba: • It Ends with Us • Verity • Reminders of Him • Ugly Love TW: domestic abuse, child death, child abuse, murder, quasi-incest revolving around step-siblings, a brief mention of an incest-tinged dynamic between blood siblings in a certain YA fantasy series Spoilers start at 44:00 Note: after recording the podcast, Saba informed Arthur that he'd been mispronouncing her name the whole time. It's “sab-AH,” not “SAH-ba.” Arthur is deeply sorry for making that blunder. Note 2: Arthur double-checked the names after recording the podcast, and it turns out that both “Sebastian” and “Jonathan” are technically right. You'll understand when you reach that part. Note 3: I'd given my Good Word for Chip ‘n Dale: Rescue Rangers before John Mulaney let Dave Chappelle pop in for a surprise appearance at his recent show in Ohio and make transphobic and homophobic jokes. I just want to clarify that I still recommend the movie, but I don't support the dive that Mulaney seems to be taking into his own toxic sludge pit. I'm not crazy about the gross connection I just learned this movie has to the original Peter Pan voice actor Bobby Driscoll, either. I recommend looking into his story, but only if you're ready for tragedy.

When we get pregnant, everybody talks about the baby. But what about the mother? Becoming a mother—even thinking about becoming one—involves complex feelings and emotions. But the “Bliss Myth” idea says that we should feel one note about becoming a parent, and that note is happiness and joy. If we don't feel joy, and we don't love motherhood, then are you a bad mom? No! It's totally normal to feel a huge range of feelings, including ambivalence, anger, regret, disappointment, love, tenderness, exhaustion, frustration, and more. Having feelings, especially multiple conflicting feelings, doesn't make you a bad mom: it makes you a human being, like the rest of us. Alexandra Sacks, MD is a reproductive psychiatrist who popularized the concept of matrescence, or the period of transition surrounding becoming a mother. Her 2018 TED Talk reached 1.5 million views worldwide, and she wrote a New York Times article called The Birth Of A Mother that was the number one most read piece of 2017 for the Well Family Section. The truth is more complicated, and Dr. Sacks says a huge range of feelings about motherhood is all totally normal. Things like panicking when you find out that you're pregnant, or feeling ambivalent at first when you see your newborn, or having new feelings about your partner or your own parents are all absolutely reasonable feelings to have during your pregnancy and parenting journeys. In this episode, we talk to one of America's top reproductive psychiatrists about the range of emotions and feelings that come with motherhood, and why matrescence is totally natural and normal. In this episode we talk about: Matrescence as an extended phase of all women's lives, including women who choose not to have children or who experience infertility, and Dr. Sacks focused work on the period of pregnancy and the first year of motherhood. The Bliss Myth and other honest stories we're missing about motherhood. The harmful trope of the “bad mother” as the cornerstone of evil characters in myth and popular culture. The idea of the “Good Enough Mother” as permission and guiding light for mother's overwhelmed by messages of perfection; that we should aim for not superhuman perfection but providing a safe, stable, loving childhood. How being a “perfect” mother can actually harm our children in the long term, leading to decreased resiliency, slowing the learning process, and interfering with children's ability to grow and achieve independence.

Our ongoing journey through Motherhood can involve a process of letting go as much as of new learning and growth. In this episode I reflect on the process of what it means to go on the journey of unpacking how we have internalised the ‘perfect mother myth' and have been socialized into the expectations of what it means to be a ‘Mother'. The birth of a new awareness, and (re)creation of a new identity can feel alluring, exciting, liberating, and/or empowering. But it can also feel really unsettling, especially at first. This episode speaks to this experience and on how we can build new models of what it means to be a mother. I consider a model of ‘integrated' motherhood, and invite you to reflect on some questions about your own sense of self and identity.

The social construction of Motherhood impacts us as individual mothers. This is the case even when we resist the ‘shoulds'. In this episode I discuss what some of these impacts are and draw on the analogy of the ‘fish tank' to help describe how we come to experience the social dimensions of Motherhood on an individual level, and why it is important to consider ‘culturally detoxing' from intensive mothering ideology – and how much this process is even possible. I point to the ways that guilt, mother-blame, and a ‘loss' of self and identity are a consequence of living within patriarchal Motherhood, and the ways we are set up to ‘choose' between binaries as women and mothers, such as that of the Madonna or the whore and the self-less or the self-ish Mother. This episode covers research on mental health outcomes for Mothers as a result of living within the current cultural construction of Motherhood, and I share the process I've undergone in considering the purpose and direction of my work with my Liberated Motherhood group after reading this research. While the experience of being a Mother is one that is so personal, changing the cultural construction of Motherhood that shapes individual experience is a public, social, political, professional, and cultural issue. If you work with mothers and would like to be part of this change, consider enrolling in The Motherhood Studies Practitioner Certification online course, beginning April 12, 2021 - https://drsophiebrock.com/motherhoodstudies/

This final episode of 2020 is a reflection on the ways perfect motherhood shapes the lives of mothers, and explains how and why the festive season and other celebrations intensify and amplify this pressure. I give voice to the often-invisible load that women carry at this time and the expectations on mothers, children, and the ‘family' unit to ‘perform'. I reflect on the mental load, but also on some of the challenges in having the only solutions suggested as ‘stepping back' or ‘delegating'. I pose questions to consider about the extent to which mothers are expected to sacrifice their wellbeing to facilitate the enjoyment of others, how we have been conditioned to want to ‘please' others, but also the complex dynamics involved when it comes to wanting to ‘give' to our children. This leads to a consideration of how our worthiness is measured, and purpose is defined. Ultimately, cultivating connection with ourselves as Mothers offers a precious gift of ‘presence' to ourselves and our family.
