Ground Control to Major Mom
Managing Disconnect as a Parent in a Time of "Social" Connection
Have we lost contact with our base? Being a mom has always been hard, and in today’s society of social media and supermom, parenting can seem even more daunting, leaving us feeling like we are floating in space. While we strive to juggle all the demands of life, we may feel isolated and ashamed that we aren’t 100% there in every activity, in every moment, and in every aspect of our families’ lives.
In this program, we discuss the pressures faced by moms, strategies for maintaining mental health, setting boundaries, and taking time to breathe.
