Unpacking the Pressures of Parenting with Reshma Saujani
In this gripping episode of Let's Begin, Jenna sits down with Reshma Saujani, the founder of Mom’s First and Girls Who Code, and author of Pay Up: The Future of Women and Work. As both an activist and a mother, Reshma opens up about the crushing weight of comparison culture and perfectionism that so many parents wrestle with today. With a staggering 41% of caregivers reporting overwhelming stress, the conversation strikes at the heart of our current parenting crisis. Reshma argues that while we wait for sweeping policy changes, we must urgently start rewriting our internal narratives, challenging the toxic standards we impose on ourselves and our children.
As the discussion unfolds, Jenna and Reshma address how the constant drive to be perfect can warp our self-worth and impact our children's emotional development. Reshma emphasizes that teaching our kids to embrace bravery over achieving an unattainable ideal is essential for breaking the cycle of inadequacy and anxiety. With compelling insights and heartfelt stories, this episode is a rallying cry for parents to redefine success and cultivate resilience—both within themselves and for their children.
