Ep531. This week, Renee is joined by psychotherapist and author Vanessa Bennett to unpack her new book The Motherhood Myth and push back against the pressure to be a “perfect” parent. They dive into breaking generational patterns, why honesty is the antidote to mom guilt, and how to give yourself permission to parent differently than the models you grew up with. This conversation is raw, validating, and a powerful reminder that you’re not doing it wrong — it’s the myth that is.
Vanessa’s new book “The Motherhood Myth” is available wherever books are sold.
