About this episode

In this episode, Erin Schlozman discusses her book 'The Myth of the Perfect Mom' and the challenges modern mothers face.

Erin Schlozman is an author, therapist, speaker, mom and maternal health specialist. Our chat today is an intro to her and a tip of the iceburg discussion of her amazing new book that she describes this way... "My debut book, The Myth of the Perfect Mom , was born from the conversations mothers have behind closed doors — the ones about anxiety, identity transitions, falling in love over and over again, loneliness, and that quiet feeling that everyone else is handling motherhood better than you are. Written as a therapist, maternal mental health advocate, and mom of two — and just featured in a conversation with Dr. Becky Kennedy — this book challenges the impossible standards modern mothers continue to carry. Through personal stories, cultural insight, and honest conversations about matrescence, I dismantle the myths keeping moms stuck in shame and self-doubt, and replace them with something far more powerful: truth. This isn't a parenting manual. It's the book that will set you free to mother in the way that's most authentic to you."
