You're listening to Voices of Your Village and today I get to hang out with Nancy Reddy. She's the author of The Good Mother Myth. Her previous books include the poetry collections Pocket Universe and Double Jinx, a winner of the National Poetry Series. I think we need to be screaming this from the rooftops that when we're trying to be a good mom, it actually leads to bad mental health and that there isn't this spot where we're like, okay, check, we're a great mom now. We're going to drop the ball and we're going to make mistakes. And what it means for us as individuals to feel like we're doing enough and being enough is so personalized. I loved this breakdown with Rach after where we got to dive into what this looks like in everyday life for us and how it shows up personally. I'm super stoked to share this episode with you. I think it's a message that so many of us need on repeat. All right, folks, let's dive in.  Connect with Nancy: Instagram: @nancy.o.reddy Website: www.nancyreddy.com Order the book: The Good Mother Myth Join the newsletter:  https://nancyreddy.substack.com/ Connect with us: Instagram: @seed.and.sew  Podcast page: Voices of Your Village Seed and Sew's Regulation Quiz: Take the Quiz Order Tiny Humans, Big Emotions now!  Website: seedandsew.org Music by: Ruby Adams and  Bensound Learn more about your ad choices.
