What if the pressure to be a Supermom is actually the thing holding moms back?

In this episode of MOMents, host Madge Booth is joined by Stacy McCann, licensed therapist and founder of the Supermom Dropout Club, for an honest conversation about why doing it all is burning moms out and how to finally step off the hamster wheel.

They unpack how the Supermom narrative has become deeply ingrained in our culture and why it pushes moms toward comparison, guilt, overspending and emotional exhaustion.

They explore the role social media and consumerism play in shaping unrealistic standards, and how moms are often targeted at their most vulnerable moments.

This episode isn’t about doing less or lowering standards, it’s about opting out of comparison culture, setting boundaries, asking for help and redefining what it truly means to be a “good mom.”

Stacy offers practical, compassionate insights that help moms prioritise their needs without guilt.If you’ve ever felt like you’re failing because you can’t keep up, this conversation will remind you that you’re not. Your needs matter too. And it’s time to start acting like it.
