Welcome back to another episode of the Aware Parenting Stories podcast. After having a few weeks off, I am back with the final episode for this year and the last episode in the series of conversations I have been having about Embracing Imperfection.
In this episode I share some final reflections on where perfectionism comes from, the effect of our childhood experiences and the socio-cultural factors that play into this for many mothers. I share more about how to support ourselves with compassion, acknowledgement, finding safety for ourselves, bringing more play and laughter, meeting our own needs and offering ourselves reassurance, care and love.

Episode 128 - Perfectionism was a Prison with Katie Fusco
Welcome back to another episode and the next instalment in my series on embracing our imperfection in Aware Parenting, in conversation this time with Katie Fusco who is an Aware Parenting Instructor and a specialist perinatal and infant mental health practitioner in the UK.
In this episode Katie shares with beautiful vulnerability her journey with embracing imperfection following a profoundly difficult and traumatic birth and post-partum period. She shares how she has moved from an internal dialogue that was scathing and excrutiatingly harsh, full of guilt and self-judgment, to an inner voice of compassion and care. We talk about the devastating impact of the rewards and praise she experienced in the education system in setting up perfectionistic pressure on herself. We talk about the huge benefit of finding support to be in the discomfort of our deeply painful but sacred feelings in order to be able to embrace our imperfection and re-find compassion for ourselves. Katie shares some of the hardest moments in her parenting and how she has found compassion and acceptance of herself.
To learn more about Katie, she will be sharing on Instragram at thecryingclinic.
