The Motherhood Wake-Up Call That Exposed Perfectionism with Andrea Fortenberry

Send us Fan Mail

Perfectionism in motherhood can look like competence on the outside while creating pressure, anger, and exhaustion at home. Andrea Fortenberry, leadership development manager at The MomCo and host of The Perfectionist Guide to Mothering, shares how Christian counseling helped her uncover childhood grief, loosen her need for control, and become a healthier mom. We talk about strong-willed kids, picking your battles, giving children healthy agency, finding community through The MomCo, writing in the margins of motherhood, and her devotional Two Minute Timeouts for New Moms.
