Mom Treading Water (The Imperfect Mom)

As imperfect moms, we sometimes try to keep our heads above water. We are the ultimate “Mom Treading Water.” Whether you are a SAHM (stay-at-home mom), a mom who works out of the home, or somewhere in between, we all have challenges, benefits, and experiences. However, what we do share in common is that we are all imperfect moms. As an imperfect mom, wife, and human, I am exposing myself, intending to normalize the sisterhood of imperfect moms. None of us are perfect, no matter what image someone attempts to portray. Mom Treading Water encourages being kind to yourself while discovering your imperfections with compassion. As we learn about ourselves, we become better moms and humans. Thank you for joining me on this imperfect journey. Be kind to yourself. Be kind to others.

Melissa’s desire to be the perfect mom, wife and human, makes her the perfect imperfection expert. A few years into mom life, she had a realization. The desire to be perfect would lead to self-destruction. The perfect mom plan was completely misguided.

Mom Treading Water, podcast and blog, was the solution to finding her voice.

As a stay-at-home-mom (SAHM) to her son, Jackson and daughter, Mickey, her life is filled with love and imperfect parenting. She’s been married over 10 years to her best friend, James.

She earned a B.A. from Bridgewater State College and a M.Ed. from Boston University.

She hopes exposing her own imperfections with kindness would help listeners do the same.
