Before kids, you might have been comfortable with not being perfect. But then the baby arrives, and suddenly every small decision feels like it could negatively affect their entire life. 


The pressure is intense.


This week, we're talking about the perfectionism that motherhood triggers. 


We share stories about trying to redeem ourselves with homemade baby food after struggling with breastfeeding, and how a simple comment can send you into a spiral.


We believe you don't have to be a perfect mom to be a good one. In fact, we argue it's better to be a rested mom than a burnt-out, perfect one. It’s about being present and loving them, not having everything Pinterest-perfect.


If you're tired of trying to be the perfect mom, come be a "wacky shaped pancake" with us IYKYK… and if you don’t know… make sure to catch episode 2 where we share our pancake theory https://open.spotify.com/episode/0aJ3IhtHmrfH2zSvECfVm9?si=KuesjtN3QiSrrWXMiavFKA
