Summary
You're losing yourself so slowly you barely noticed. On the surface, it looks like burnout. Underneath it is something most people won't say out loud: the internalized belief that good mothers are required to sacrifice parts of themselves and call it devotion.
No Perfect Parents says the quiet part out loud. Long before you became a mother, you were a little girl trained to perform, to please, to put herself last, and you carried every one of those messages straight into motherhood. There's a difference between sacrifice and self-erasure, and most of us were never taught to tell them apart.
Host Richelle Clayton—parent coach, former D1 athlete, and mom of two—unpacks how that happened, what it took from you, and what it looks like to find your way back. She brings personal stories, feminist analysis, and honest conversations that don't soften what needs to be said, because talking around the truth doesn't change anything.
No platitudes. No "you're doing great, mama." No pretending the way out isn't complicated. Just the truth about what it costs to disappear inside your own life, and what becomes possible when you stop.
