EP 2: The Perfect Mum Pressure Starts Early (and Sticks Around)

🎙️ Episode 2: The Perfect Mum Pressure Starts Early (and Sticks Around)

In this episode of Smart, Successful + Stressed Mums, I’m diving deeper into the “perfect mum” myth—where it comes from, how we internalise it without even realising, and how it starts impacting us (and our daughters) earlier than we think.

I reflect on the Netflix doco Martha, and how icons like Martha Stewart helped shape early versions of the perfectionist mum ideal—even before social media. I also share a real-life story from a school photo day gone wrong, and the lingering guilt that came with it (yep, she still reminds me of it to this day!).

This is an honest look at how unrealistic mum standards creep into our daily lives—and why it's time to let go of the pressure to be polished, perfect, and always prepared.

💬 I'd love to hear how the perfect mum myth has shown up in your life. Send me a DM or email—I truly want to connect.
