Working Mom Hour

Perfectionism is basically a pressure cooker of stress, right? In Episode 42, we chat with Caralena Peterson, speaker and author of The Effortless Perfection Myth, which dives into how to address the mental health crisis that primarily affects women throughout high school and college, and well into their careers and motherhood too. In this conversation, she gives us some helpful tips on how to talk to our kids (and ourselves) about letting go of perfection and building healthier self-esteem habits.Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode, and kindly review the podcast on Apple Podcasts so we can reach more working moms.
