Welcome to episode FIVE of the Re-Imagining Motherhood podcast.


I am thrilled to bring you Miriam Liss, Ph.D., a clinical psychologist who has studied maternal guilt and shame AND so much more.
In this episode, Dr. Liss and I explore the difference between guilt and shame and WHERE it comes from for so many mothers. We also explore the main parenting ideology deeply influencing maternal shame today - intensive mothering. What happens when being a “good enough” mother is a moving target and yet, we continue to attempt to live up to it? Our conversation left me with hope - hope that shame doesn’t have to be an experienced norm of Motherhood if we can continue to Re-Imagine Motherhood together.

Episode Summary:
Liss is one of the contributing developers of the Intensive Parenting Attitudes Questionnaire looking at how parents are impacted by this central patriarchal normative Motherhood ideology - intensive mothering. Stemming from her research, we discuss how shame contributes to mothers feeling deeply alone in their lack of “enoughness” in their role as Mother. Additionally, we look at how incorporating compassion into our experience as Mothers might help us alleviate the shame we feel. We dabble into many feminist off-shoots of this broader conversation, looking at traditional gender roles in parenting and feminist mothers and some of their experiences. It’s a conversation you don’t want to miss as we continue to Re-Imagine Motherhood together.
Correction: "Pamela" Hays is Sharon Hays re: "The Cultural Contradictions of Motherhood" and Annette Lareau coined “concerted cultivation” and Peggy Orenstein uses the term “Half Changed World” in her book Flux: Women on Sex, Work, Love, Kids & Life in a Half Changed World.
