Poet and Essayist, Nancy Reddy, joins us to discuss her book, The Good Mother Myth: Unlearning Our Bad Ideas About How to Be a Good Mom, a timely and thought-provoking debunking of the bad ideas that have for too long defined what it means to be a “good” mom. This program is for all of the caregivers who struggle to be the best they can be with societal pressures constantly trying to influence our good instincts. We hope you can join us for this important discussion.
