About this episode

Interested in how to ditch perfectionism as a working mom so you can feel less stress and more happiness? 

This week on the Mama Work It podcast, I interviewed Brooke Jean, founder of Brooke Jean UNperfected and licensed therapist. Brooke shares her experience and perspective on guiding mamas to let go of who they think they are supposed to be in order to create the life they actually want.  

Here's what you’ll get out of today’s episode:

  • What is Unperfectionism and why you should be proud of it
  • Prioritizing your happiness in order to be the best mom for your kids
  • What’s a turkey moment and how it relates to perfectionism


Here's where you can find Brooke and more about what she does after the show:
