The Ubiquitous Inner Critic: The Mom Part That’s Everywhere, All the Time With Jillian Perry

"There's this pressure to get it right—to get down on their level, talk to them in the right tone, be so regulated ourselves—that it creates this perfectionism. That voice of criticism saying 'this is how you have to do it to be a ‘good mom.’ —Jillian PerryOn this episode we're talking about Inner Critic Parts with Jillian Perry.<ul><li>Your inner critic is a carbon copy of people who found fault with you as a child—it mimics their harsh tone to ensure you don't fail or embarrass yourself, especially in your mothering</li><li>The inner critic shows up everywhere: in hard moments with kids, in how we feed them, in finding the "right" way to parent—it's littered with all the "shoulds"</li><li>Cycle breaking can lose its soul when taken over by the inner critic—it becomes another task on the to-do list, and ironically, the critic perpetuates the same pain it's trying to prevent</li><li>How you get to a parenting decision matters more than the decision itself—the same choice can come from your inner critic's "shoulds" or from your inner mom's values and care</li><li>The inner critic is closely tied to shame, which is a major player in all psychological distress—where there's shame, there's the critic</li></ul>Jillian Perry: <a href="https://www.jillianperrylmft.com/">https://www.jillianperrylmft.com/</a> My book When Good Moms Feel Bad is available everywhere you buy books.For more information and to join the community go to momparts.com

You Reap What You Sow

From my album Sticks & Stones, this song is about having to be firm with boundaries in my relationship with my mom, who was abusive and alcoholic. It's very much about my own healing and health - and how hard it is to differentiate from a mom who tells you you're terrible.A central theme explores how our relationships reflect our own feelings and beliefs, and how we create our own reality in some ways. The chorus reminds us: "You get what you give, that's just how it is. Love is conditional."This song captures the painful work of setting boundaries with someone who shaped your earliest sense of self, and the journey toward understanding that the love we receive is often a mirror of what we're able to give—to ourselves and others.My album Sticks & Stones by Red Letter is available wherever you stream music.My book When Good Moms Feel Bad is available everywhere you buy books.For more information and to join the community go to momparts.com
