In this episode of 'Holding Space for Her,' host Rita Pietrosanto explores the pervasive issue of 'mumparisons'—the tendency of mothers to compare themselves and their children to others. Sharing personal stories and insights, Rita discusses societal pressures, unrealistic expectations fueled by social media, and the emotional turmoil that arises from these comparisons. She offers actionable strategies for overcoming 'mumparisons,' such as reducing social media exposure, cultivating self-awareness and gratitude, and finding support in a positive network. Emphasising personal growth and self-compassion, Rita encourages listeners to embrace their unique parenting journey and reach out for support if needed.
