The Perfect Mother Myth with Dr Sophie Brock
Oct 25, 2021 Season 3 Episode 12
Nikki McCahon

In today’s episode I’m chatting to Dr Sophie Brock a Motherhood Studies Sociologist and single Mother to her 3yo daughter, living in Sydney, Australia. Sophie supports both mothers and professionals who work with mothers to understand the sociological construction of Motherhood and how this shapes individual mothers’ lives. Sophie advocates for a reimagined version of Motherhood that sees mothers supported, valued, and empowered. She offers online courses, mentoring packages, and her Motherhood Studies Practitioner Certification program. She hosts The Good Enough Mother podcast.

In my chat with Sophie we talk about:

How her experience as a sociologist specialising in motherhood impacted her own motherhood experience

How collective society and cultural norms impact our individual experiences as mothers

What the perfect mother myth is and how we can resist the allure of perfection and embrace good enough mothering
