🎙️Perfectly Imperfect🎙️
For perfectionist mums
Perfectly, imperfect is the podcast for high achieving, perfectionist women struggling to see their worth in motherhood, led by me, Ria Oliver, emotional coach and therapist for anxious, maxed out mums.
I believe that when a woman truly finds herself in motherhood, it is often for the very first time in her life, and only then is she able to shed the weight of expectation, conditioning, judgement and her worth being tied into productivity, and that this is one of the most freeing journeys a woman can go on.
Join me while we delve into being perfectly imperfect and step into being uniquely you in motherhood.
New episodes every Thursday, 9am.
Available wherever you usually listen to your podcasts.
Episode 1: My journey from perfect to imperfect
Join me in this episode where I talk openly and honestly about my own journey steeping out of the good girl complex and perfectionism as a person, as a mother and as a therapist.
Here I talk about what I opened my eyes to once I realised the habits I had that were creating a persona of who I thought I should be, and losing who I really was.
Becoming a mother is what cracked these habits open for me, and becoming a mother to a daughter is what cemented in me what I needed to do differently for her, and for myself.
In this episode I unlock the journey I know so many of you are on right now.
Episode 2: The Roles you Play in Life
As a perfectionist, one of the many things you have perfected is playing different roles for the different people in your life, which fulfils a need in you to be seen in a certain light by others.
But it also helps you lose yourself a little bit faster.
When being you has never felt enough, being who others expect you to be fills a void...until it doesn't any longer.
Find out some useful ways to tackle this and step into who you really are.

Episode 3: Toxic Productivity and Perfectionism
In this episode I talk about how toxic productivity is actually emotional dysregulation for perfectionist mothers and women.
In a culture that celebrates women being busy and maxed out how do we start to unlearn who and what we think we should be to keep others happy, and let in more of what makes you happy.
Let's move away from toxic productivity as a way to prove your worth, and start to see your own value and slow things down.
