The Perfect Mother: Busting the Myth

The Perfect Mother - Busting the Myth

What happens when we give up part of who we are to become the women our families need us to be?

Through the lens of a traditional folk tale, Manuela Damant, Sarah Turner and Sheila Hirst share their personal stories of being mothers and daughters — from the late 1960s to the present day.

Two generations. Three very different lives. And yet, sharing stories of love, cultural expectations, sacrifice, mistakes, resilience — and finding our way back to ourselves.

Our stories are uniquely ours, but you may recognise something of your own in them,  the expectations we inherit, the choices we make, the things we get wrong, and the things we carry from one generation to the next.

Come and join us in a warm, intimate and welcoming space.

Listen to our stories. Find your own.

And perhaps leave with a little more freedom from the expectations of being a Perfect Mother — or a Perfect Daughter.
