After a decade as a therapist supporting new mothers, Erin Levin Schlozman realized that the real crisis wasn’t in individual moms, it was in the myth of perfection that was failing them.
When her own postpartum experience collided with the unrealistic standards she saw every day in her office, she set out to change the conversation. She’s been working to dismantle the myth of the “perfect mom” ever since.
The Myth of the Perfect Mom is a deeply validating, research-informed, and emotionally honest guide to rethinking modern motherhood - from birth to identity to the myth of “having it all.” It’s a permission slip for every mother who has ever thought, I love motherhood, and this isn’t what I expected.
