Although no two parents are same, emerging research reveals that most working moms are not okay right now. Balancing their careers with pandemic parenting is taking its toll on their mental, physical, and emotional health. Working moms have been doing this for almost a year and are most likely burned out, exhausted, and running on empty.

In our latest Pandemic Parenting Exchange webinar, Mom Guilt & “Good Enough” Pandemic Parenting, we talked about the self-doubt, anxiety, and uncertainty that has come with pandemic parenting. We also shared what the research says about “good enough’ parenting, especially in times of crisis. Dr. Sharon Lamb, psychologist and author of The Not Good Enough Mother joined as our guest expert.

In our latest Pandemic Parenting Exchange webinar, Grief: Yours, Mine & Ours, we talked about different types of grief and how it may have been present for you, your child(ren), and your community. We were joined by guest Dr. Margaret Blaustein who shared her expertise as a practicing clinical psychologist specializing in childhood trauma.
