Good Enough Is the New Perfect: Ditch the Worry and Love the Mom You Already Are
Modern mothers don’t need superpowers to be superheroes. You already have what it takes.

Never has there been more pressure on women. In a post—Covid world, we are expected to dominate in our jobs while simultaneously juggling the needs of our families and our homes. But what about our own needs? With so many balls in the air, finding balance is harder than ever before.

The truth is that you can have it all. The secret is creating an “all” that you love.

Through their extensive research, Becky Beaupre Gillespie and Hollee Schwartz Temple have discovered a paradigm shift in motherhood: more and more mothers are losing their “never enough” attitude and embracing a “good enough” mindset to be happier, more confident and more fulfilled. With inspiring firsthand accounts from working mothers, this updated edition of Good Enough Is the New Perfect is a true road map for the incredible balancing act we call motherhood. You deserve to get what you really want out of your career, your family and your life.
