EPS. 16 You Don't Have to Be the Perfect Mom: How to Raise Confident Kids without Burnout
Episode 16: You Don't Have to Be The Perfect Mom: How to Raise Confident Kids without Burnout
If you've ever felt like no matter how much you do for your kids it somehow still doesn't feel like enough, this episode of Overcaffeinated and Out of Effs is for you.
Today I sit down with Kasey Edwards, international bestselling author of Raising Girls Who Like Themselves and Bringing Up Boys Who Like Themselves. “When children like themselves, they are more resilient, confident, and independent. And for busy, exhausted moms, that means less nagging, less guilt, and less pressure to be “perfect.”” Her work centers around helping kids develop confidence, resilience and a deep sense of self-liking, without moms having to sacrifice their mental health, identity or sanity in the process.
In this episode Kasey talks about the invisible pressure so many moms carry to be everything to everyone and what it actually teaches our kids; how “good girl” and “tough boy” conditioning affect the mental and emotional well being of kids and their moms; and the importance of moms showing up as their authentic selves. She shares practical, evidence-based strategies to raise children who like themselves and small mindset shifts moms can make to have a positive effect on the entire family.
