Crunchy Super Mom Show Ep #016 - Super Mom Perfection & Why We All Want It
Subscribe so you never miss an episode.
This show is all about the concept of SuperMom perfection and why we all want it. You may not feel like a SuperMom or you might have already “hung up your cape” and stopped even trying to feel like a SuperMom. But isn’t there somewhere deep inside that still wants it? I know that was (and still is!) true for me. In this episode, we offer you a new perspective and hopefully the realization that you CAN do it all. Make sure you grab our PowerPlan at the end for specific directions on how to achieve all of this without feeling overwhelmed.
Why are people always telling overwhelmed moms to hang up the super mom cape?
I really dislike this statement because I feel like it is just giving up and settling. And for me, that would lead to frustration and probably depression. Even though I am still striving toward my own SuperMom ideals, I need to know that I AM working toward them and that they ARE possible. While I don’t like to hear the statement “hang up the cape”, I do understand why that message is being put out there. As moms, we are constantly being bombarded with messages about how we are not enough, how we need to strive for a certain ideal, how we need to do more, give more, and basically be perfect. Those messages are incredibly damaging. We do need to reject those. However, we do not need to give up on the idea that we can be a SuperMom of our own life and on our own terms. We do not need to let go of the things that will make us be more calm, productive, patient, and loving with our families. We simply need to let go of the world’s many ideas of what a SuperMom is and reject any and all pressure the outside world puts on us to strive for some ideal that is not truly what we want.
We get it, moms are overwhelmed with all the things they do in life.
Mom puts pressure on herself. Her partner, her job, her church, her kids’ school and activities…. They all task moms with more to do every day. We know we should all say, “no”, a lot more than we do but that still doesn’t exactly empty our proverbial plates of stuff to do!
That’s why we want to squash the concept of hanging up the SuperMom cape. Instead, we want you to reframe the concept, realize you ARE a SuperMom, and strive for your own personal SuperMom ideals.
