What Selfies Can Teach Moms

ByTara Cousineau January 29, 2014February 28, 2014

Moms, do you shiver when your daughters constantly take selflies.

Do they mock you when you take one of yourself?

Been there, done that!

This video from DOVE might change the way you view your daughter’s obsession with selflies. Or it may not. You decide.

It’s worth a peek. If anything, it may make you think about how your body image and expectations for beauty might influence hers.

New Podcast Episode Alert! I had the incredible o New Podcast Episode Alert!

I had the incredible opportunity to join The Minute Mastery podcast hosted by the amazing @ngoziedema to dive deep into perfectionism, the inner critic, and how self-compassion can be our greatest ally.

We explored how perfectionism often stems from our need for belonging and fear of rejection and the fine line between its motivating spark and toxic burnout. I shared actionable strategies to befriend the inner critic, embrace imperfection, and prioritize mental well-being.

I hope this conversation inspires you as much as it inspired me!

Tune in now to Episode 43: “Perfectionism, Self-Compassion, and the Inner Critic: How to Break the Cycle and Thrive.”
