OFTEN UNKNOWINGLY, WE CAN BECOME ‘CAGED’.
Our love for our children is so deep that we can lose ourselves within Motherhood when we equate mother-love with a self-sacrificing ‘perfect Mum’. This ideal doesn’t exist, and even if it did, this would not be what is ‘best’ for us OR our children. Decades of research has shown this. Our children need connection - not perfection - and to offer this connection we need to be in our authenticity. When you seek to free yourself from the shackles of perfect motherhood, you model for your children and others how to live an authentic and
enriched life.

WHO IS SOPHIE?
Dr Sophie Brock - Motherhood Studies Sociologist
I have spent 10 years researching Motherhood and have a PhD in Sociology specialising in Motherhood Studies from The University of Sydney.
In my research I developed what has been described as a ground-breaking theory for understanding how Mothers’ lives are shaped by the social and cultural construct of Motherhood. I am also a Mother.
Researching and writing about Motherhood is my life passion, and I’m devoted to this work. I also do not pretend to have all the answers. What I do have is a deep commitment to ongoing learning, curiosity, and my own personal and intellectual development.
In my life and work I strive to lead authentically and with compassion and integrity. My intention is to bring you the very best course experience possible, with a hope that this content will enrich and support you as a Mother.
