Susie shares:

- How we are making parenting harder for ourselves.
- Crazy pressures that create isolation for all mothers, especially new mums
- Why and how to give ourselves a break, ditch perfection pressure and guilt. Hint: You will love Susie’s brilliant tip for half-arsing school bake sales!
- Where the line is between ‘half-arsed parenting’ and ‘good enough’ parenting and how we can tell what side of the line we are on, and changes might be in order
