Motherhood: Lowering the Bar
Manage episode 492166883 series 3675068
This week on Coffee Unlimited with J&D, Janelle and Danielle dive into the honest reality of motherhood—and why lowering the bar just might be the secret to more joy, peace, and presence.
From bathrobes at school drop-off to ski pants as brunch wear, the pressure to be the “perfect mom” is real—and exhausting. The conversation explores where these expectations come from, how to let them go, and what happens when we finally give ourselves (and each other) grace.
Janelle and Danielle get real about body image, lunchbox stress, and letting go of appearances—while still showing up for the moments that matter most. This one’s for every parent who needs to hear: you’re doing better than you think.
In this episode:
- Releasing perfectionism and redefining "good enough"
- How to stop tying self-worth to how clean your house is or how well you pack lunches
- The emotional rollercoaster of postpartum body image
- Parenting from presence, not pressure
- Tips for embracing grace—plus practical strategies that actually work
