When Striving for Perfection Ruins Everything

from Slow[ish] Parenting Hosted by Alexis Culp

This caused me to be angry and unhappy... which truthfully made me the worst version of myself. In this weeks episode, I'm sharing how my expectations of motherhood were causing me to strive for perfection. But, when my daughter was diagnosed with CHD, this made me take a second look at how I was living my life.
