29. Creating Space to Explore the Nuances of Motherhood, Why It Feels Lonely Even Though You’re Never Alone with Erin Spahr- @feminist.mom.therapist

In today's episode, we welcome Erin Spar, a feminist mom therapist and the host of the Feminist Mom Podcast. We chat all about the individualistic approach to parenting, the societal pressure on mothers to be perfect and self-regulated without sufficient support, and the importance of cultural and systemic change to alleviate the unrealistic expectations placed on mothers. We also dig into the significance of self-compassion, societal pressures, the impact of the pandemic on mental health and motherhood, and the need for systemic changes benefiting parenting and mental health support.
