Episode 9: Killing Supermom to Save Ourselves
Do you feel like you are the perfect example of Supermom? Or do you always find yourself comparing yourself to her image and falling short?
I do not condone the killing of actual people. But this image we have of supermom has got to go! She is damaging our physical and emotional well being!
What moms need to do:
- Let our perfection go-
- Accept the words “Good Enough”-
- Create our own version of Real Mom to replace supermom-
- Set realistic expectations for ourselves-
- Take time for ourselves-
- Find people we can exchange help with to make our lives easier-
- Accept ourselves, just as we are-
- Stop believing in supermom, and start believing in ourselves-
My advice for moms with health issues: Accept yourself right now, the way you are.
My superpower is: I’m changing the world, one chronically ill mom at a time
