Idealizing Motherhood and Self-Neglect: Illuminate Podcast

I was recently interviewed therapist and host Geoff Steurer on the topic of why idealizing motherhood can be harmful to women's mental and emotional health. Specifically, we discuss:

- Why our culture idealizes mothers.

- How how idealizing motherhood can be harmful to women's mental health.

- The difference between "role and relationship".

-Why betrayed women feel shame that they're not available for theirchildren and how idealizing motherhood adds unnecessary pressure.

- How betrayed women deal with the shame of not being best their self while healing from trauma.

- How women can challenge the glorification of self- neglect, especially when resources are low.
