In today's episode, we welcome Erin Spar, a feminist mom therapist and the host of the Feminist Mom Podcast. We chat all about the individualistic approach to parenting, the societal pressure on mothers to be perfect and self-regulated without sufficient support, and the importance of cultural and systemic change to alleviate the unrealistic expectations placed on mothers.

We also dig into the significance of self-compassion, societal pressures, the impact of the pandemic on mental health and motherhood, and the need for systemic changes benefiting parenting and mental health support.
