With today’s parenting culture of unattainable expectations and incessant demands, it is no wonder so many of us suffer from "Shitty Parent Syndrome" —the perception that one is a crummy parent—leaving us feeling confused and insecure about how to raise our children. In this thought-provoking episode, we talk with Carla Naumburg, author of "You Are Not a Sh*tty Parent: How to Practice Self-Compassion and Give Yourself a Break." She shares her insights on parenting, self-compassion, and curiosity. She challenges the notion of being a "shitty parent" and emphasizes the importance of embracing self-compassion and curiosity to become better parents.
Topics Discussed:
1. Shifting perspectives: There's no such thing as a "shitty parent."
2. The power of self-compassion.
3. Navigating the sea of parenting information.
4. The double-edged sword of excessive parenting information.
5. Filling the gap between knowledge and implementation.
6. Carving out time for self-care.
7. Examining time constraints vs. priorities.
8. Modeling a healthy and balanced life for children.
9. Embracing curiosity for better understanding.
10. Creating an open and compassionate space for communication.
