Mambition Moments #14 -The Validation We Crave: Why Motherhood Makes Us Doubt Ourselves - Tiffany Scott
from Mambition · host Tiffany Scott and Alex Morgan
What happens when a stranger on the train says "You have such an amazing mummy" and it makes you glow for hours?Why does recognition about our parenting hit differently than praise in any other area of life?In this episode I explore the feedback vacuum of motherhood - where there's no performance review telling you you're succeeding. We dive into why effort doesn't equal outcome with children (you can parent perfectly and they'll still have a meltdown), and how the unpredictability makes us doubt our instincts daily.Stop thinking you need to have it all figured out.When someone affirms your parenting, they're cutting through the internal doubt spiral that never stops.Motherhood is the only job where logic goes out the window and you're winging the most important role of your life.That validation you crave? It's not weakness - it's the feedback system motherhood naturally lacks.
