Trying to Be the Perfect Mum? Why It’s Burning You Out and What to Do Instead

What if trying to be the “perfect mum” is actually what’s holding you back? I’m joined by Fleur Chambers, a multi-award-winning meditation teacher, best-selling author, and creator of the free meditation app, The Happy Habit. Fleur understands firsthand the challenges working mums face and brings a wealth of knowledge on how mindfulness and self-compassion can transform the way we approach work, family, and personal well-being. Fleur shares the raw truth behind her early motherhood experience: the unrealistic expectations, the constant guilt, and the turning point that helped her reconnect with herself. If you’ve ever felt like you’re not doing enough (even though you’re doing everything), this conversation will hit home. During the chat we shared a lot including:  Fleur sharing her experience in trying to be the 'perfect mother' and what she discovered  Why we need to normalise the imperfections in motherhood How to navigate the 'second shift' after a day in the office when kids are also tired  How we can take micro-moments to stop and reset to help us be more present for our children  Allow you to ask yourself - what do you really want  And so much more  Whether you're juggling drop-offs and deadlines or caught in the burnout cycle, Fleur’s story will remind you: you don’t need to do it all to be a good mum.   Show links Connect with Fleur via her website thehappyhabit.com.au   Follow Working Mumma on Instagram @workingmummacommunity Sign up for the Working Mumma newsletter  Get your free 'How to share the mental load' checklist workingmumma.com.au/mental-load/ Connect with Carina on LinkedIn
