27) The good enough perfectionist with Dr. Naomi Gibson

Dr Naomi is back to discuss perfectionism in parenthood. In the tumultuous landscape of modern parenthood, the relentless demand to excel in every aspect of nurturing one's children casts a shadow over countless households. From the battleground of online parental disputes to the scrutinizing gazes of extended family members, and the subtle rivalry among friends underscored by social media shaming, the pressure to attain parental perfection looms large. Yet, striving for perfection subjects parents to unparalleled stress. And studies have shown that women seem to be more likely to show perfectionism than men - so for any new mothers - this can have a massive impact on our mental health. Together, Eva, Maren and Dr Naomi will be discussing who this can affect, the signs, and how to go easy on yourself.
