392: Burnt Out, Busted Myths, and the BS of ‘Supermom’ Culture with Vanessa Bennett, LMFT

Ever feel like if you’re not juggling snacks, schedules, and sanity with a smile, you’re somehow failing at motherhood? 😅 Welcome to the land of “Supermom” — where the pressure is sky-high, the guilt is real, and burnout is the unofficial mom badge.

In this episode, we’re joined by Vanessa Bennett, LMFT — licensed depth psychotherapist, podcaster, mom, and author of the powerful new book The Motherhood Myth. Vanessa gets real about the BS behind hustle culture, the hidden trauma of birth, and why the “Supermom” label isn’t a compliment — it’s a setup. You’ll hear relatable truths about motherhood, burnout, and how healing starts with reconnecting to your own needs and identity.

🎧 Tune in if you’ve ever whispered “there’s got to be more than this…” — because there is.
