Tune in each week for strategies to help you thrive in all spheres of life.

What does a "good mother" image conjure up for us, and WHERE did we get those ideas, anyway? Nancy Reddy seeks to answer these questions in her book The Good Mother Myth, and this interview goes through many of these myths (those that apply to the early years and the later parenting years, too) with a nod to where they came from and where we might go next. In the Q&A, Laura and Sarah answer a question about how they find babysitters.See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.
