The Stories We Tell Ourselves

from Parenting Without the Playbook · host Hillary Bickel: Mothers with Purpose

Parenting is full of stories—the ones we live and the ones we create in our minds. In The Stories We Tell Ourselves, my friend Kelli and I dive into the imagined narratives that often creep into our thoughts—how other parents seem more capable, or how we’re somehow falling short. Together, we unpack our insecurities, the unhealthy comparisons, and the silent, unrealistic standards so many of us hold ourselves to. This conversation isn’t just about parenting; it’s about letting go of impossible expectations and finding compassion for ourselves. Through honest, raw, and vulnerable dialogue, we’re here to remind you that you’re not alone in the stories you tell yourself. By challenging these narratives and reshaping our inner dialogue, we can create a more positive, compassionate story for ourselves and our families.
