The Myth of the Perfect Mom: Break Free from Perfection for Daily Postpartum Joy
Coming April 7, 2026

You were promised the village. You got Instagram and a few frozen lasagnas.
You were told you’d feel instant love. You felt... confused.
You heard you’d “just know what to do.” But no one handed you the manual.

The Myth of the Perfect Mom unpacks the unrealistic expectations placed on new mothers—and how to break free. Drawing on my years as a therapist and my own experience as a mom, I debunk the top myths that keep us stuck in shame, silence, and self-doubt.

Perfect for readers who feel:

• Like they're not allowed to struggle because they “wanted this”

• Confused by the gap between what they expected and what they feel

• Ready to rewrite the story of what motherhood can look like
