About No Perfect Parents

You're losing yourself so slowly you barely noticed. On the surface, it looks like burnout. Underneath it is something most people won't say out loud: the internalized belief that good mothers are required to sacrifice parts of themselves and call it devotion.No Perfect Parents says the quiet part out loud. Long before you became a mother, you were a little girl trained to perform, to please, to put herself last, and you carried every one of those messages straight into motherhood. There's a difference between sacrifice and self-erasure, and most of us were never taught to tell them apart.Host Richelle Clayton—parent coach, former D1 athlete, and mom of two—unpacks how that happened, what it took from you, and what it looks like to find your way back. She brings personal stories, feminist analysis, and honest conversations that don't soften what needs to be said, because talking around the truth doesn't change anything.No platitudes. No "you're doing great, mama." No pretending the way out isn't complicated. Just the truth about what it costs to disappear inside your own life, and what becomes possible when you stop.

No Perfect Parents (Coming Spring 2026!)

Welcome to No Perfect Parents with Richelle Clayton, the podcast where we ditch the guilt, challenge the norms, and talk honestly about what it really means to “show up” as a parent—not just for your family, but for yourself.  If you’ve ever felt like you’re losing yourself in the chaos of modern parenthood—exhausted by the pressure to be a “perfect parent”—this is your space to feel seen, validated, and empowered to do things differently, to go against the normative, patriarchal notions of what it means to be a “good parent.”  Join me as we dig into topics like… * Identity shifts, why it’s so easy to lose yourself in parenthood, and what to do about it. * The invisible mental load, why it’s so hard to share, and why you should do it anyway. * Making space for your own needs, interests, and dreams…and how it may actually make you a better parent. You’ll hear real stories, science-backed insights, and actionable tips to help you feel more like yourself and the parent you want to be—one who leads with love and connection, believes in the power of “repair,” makes space for their own needs without guilt, and knows that “good enough” is more than enough. Because “good” parenting isn’t about perfection—it’s about presence. It’s about feeling seen, supported, and secure in who you are, so you can show up for your family with more energy and more joy, in a way that feels aligned and authentic to you. If that sounds like your cup of tea, you’re in the right place. Welcome to your new favorite podcast! Looking for show notes, exclusive resources, and a way to get in contact with me?

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
