Hiiiiiii. Lindsay and Paige here: two therapists and mothers with a mission to fight perfection culture in motherhood. When we're not working with children and their parents in therapy or recording for the pod, you can find us hanging out at home with our families, surviving on dr. pepper or coffee, and binge-watching true crime. We're here to make the intersection between therapy and parenting relatable with education, support, and SMASHING parental stigma. Grab your favorite caffeinated beverage and buckle up for the ride.
