Emily Roussell: The SuperMom Myth

Love this episode? Send me a message here!


Emily Roussell is author of Rock You Tonight, a lullaby style
picture book written for new babies and moms. She's mom to four,
and wife to her best friend. She's a speech language pathologist
by degree, but as motherhood has grown and changed her she's
become a writer by passion and pursuit.

Emily and I dive deep into the cultural narrative of being a
Supermom and the pressures modern moms face to "do all/be
all."

Our conversation holds a magnifying glass over the the
expectation women feel--both internally and externally--and
offers a refreshing alternative to the pressure and anxiety to be
a "Supermom".

Quotable Quotes:

"There are no supermoms. That is a myth. We all have our hard and
we all have our great and it’s all vastly different."

"There is so much pressure to be or fulfill that supermom role.
Part of the problem is that we are getting praised for it."
