It’s no secret that moms are under a lot of pressure these days. The recent pandemic has just made matters more visible. One thing we see over and over is this idea of super mom and how moms can be expected to do it all, be amazing, and look great doing it.

On this episode of the Wannabe Minimalist Show, I’m chatting with Dr. Julie Hanks about the cost of idealizing motherhood and what it means for our homes. If you’ve ever felt like you weren't enough or that you were doing a bad job, tune in because Dr. Hanks has some amazing advice to share.

Dr. Julie Hanks is a licensed psychotherapist, author, content creator, thought leader, online influencer, owner of therapy clinics in Utah, and host of the Ask Dr. Julie Hanks podcast.

With nearly 30 years of clinical experience, Dr. Hanks provides online resources that empower women to prioritize their dreams, revolutionize their families, and personalize their faith.

Be ready for a fun conversation, a peak into my personal life, and some genuine moments.
