Episode 73

Good Moms/Mums and Self-Care

Published on: 15th September, 2024

Do you feel comfortable getting told you are a good Mum/Mom? Yes, we’re going with both versions today being that we are connecting across the globe for this conversation. Often we can get told one thing and think another, and parenting is no different. Jill and Linda think about what this phrase means for both of them as the conversation takes on a form of its own. Included inside this episode, we talk about:

  • When you’re crazy, stressed and ready to pack it all in and feel the need to defend yourself when someone says ‘you’re doing great!’
  • Getting kids into the car is a marathon in itself.
  • The old saying ‘you’re going to miss these days’ when we have next to no energy and have so much happening around us.
  • Does consistent self-care make you a good mum? Is it even possible?
  • Superhero images and comparisons we make. Even between good and bad, each perspective may be different.

We continue to learn and do our best and we would love you to join the conversations and email us at muckedupmyselfcare@gmail.com with any questions, suggestions, or comments from this episode.

Please support and follow along. You can find Jill on Instagram @mamaoutspoken and www.mamaoutspoken.com and Linda @hellolindabonney or www.lindabonney.com.

Until next week – we hope you can unstuck your muck!

About the Podcast

Mucked Up My Self-Care Podcast
Real, Raw and Unedited Conversations From Two Global Moms/Mums
A podcast for moms about the real, raw, and unscripted perspectives of guilt-free self-care by two moms across the globe. This unedited podcast is real life and their personal experiences told in friendly conversation style. Advocating for all moms who have mucked up their self care.

There are so many others out there that aren't successfully solving the real problem of trying to figure out what self-care is. We want to bring to light the reality of what self-care can look like for moms who struggle to fit it in, don't know what will work for them, and the ways that it hasn't worked. We want to have conversations about the guilt we feel when we are pressured to mother ourselves when we don't know how and aren't given the support to in our society today.
