Are you a good mom?

Rebecca Olson
About this episode

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 good
