Are you experiencing SuperMom Syndrome?
Supermom syndrome refers to the societal pressure or expectation placed on mothers to be perfect in every aspect of their lives, including parenting, career, household management, relationships, and personal appearance.
Mothers experiencing supermom syndrome often feel overwhelmed, stressed, and guilty if they believe they are falling short of these unrealistic expectations. This syndrome often leads to caregiver burnout, anxiety, and a sense of inadequacy.
