Supermama - It's a Bird, it's a Plane, it's a Tired, Overwhelmed, Touched-Out Mama

Published on: 23rd July, 2023

What do you think of when you hear the term 'Supermom/supermum' (depending on your geographical location in the world)? Does it hit a nerve? Is it something you feel like you have to live up to? Jill and Linda chat about the whole concept today on the Mucked Up My Self-Care Podcast and discuss:

  • Readjusting to conditions outside our control.
  • Where does the term Supermom come from? Some interesting history and awareness inside.
  • Working mothers. Having a full-time job while also keeping up with being the 'default' parent when it comes to housekeeping, life admin, and child-rearing alongside.
  • Pressures of keeping on top of it all.
  • Do we want the label of Supermum? Are we actually designed to do it all without help and support around us?

There's a lot of housework discussion in this episode (not surprisingly...) and we hope it's also relatable at your end too!

We would love to hear from you, it always encourages us to know you are listening along!

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.
