Dassi Zar: In Between Selves - The Act of Rebirthing

So every Tuesday, a Substack essay drops, and you should look out for that.

You can always subscribe to get the essay straight into your inbox so you're not having to go look for it.

And this last essay was titled The Modern Supermom, and it was a reflection on the expectations of the world and the expectations we put on ourselves and the judgment we feel around being a good mom, quotation marks, and what does that mean? And this topic kind of was interesting to me and was very relevant to me because of all the sports and after-curricular activities that our kids have.

And I now have two kids in soccer at the same time, and it just brings up a lot of, like, do I have to be at every game, and navigating the practices.

And I'm not the soccer mom that is at every game, and what does that bring up for me, and what does that mean, and how do my kids feel about that? And it's just food for thought and some of my own internal musings around the expectations of the modern-day mother and what is expected of us and the expectations we put on ourselves.

And maybe we can give ourselves a little grace and understand what it means to actually be a good mom.

Like, what are the core values of that? So that was the Substack.

This past episode was with my book buddy, Elin.

Really, really [laughs] really good.

If you love books, you're gonna love that episode, so if you haven't listened to it yet, I highly recommend it.
