Trying to be Supermom is as futile as trying to be Perfect Mom. Not going to happen

Arianna Huffington, the co-founder and former editor-in-chief of The Huffington Post, is a prime example of a successful woman who has come to terms with the fact that trying to be a Supermom or a Perfect Mom is simply not attainable. Throughout her career, Huffington has been a trailblazer in the world of media and journalism, but she has also been candid about the struggles she faced as a mother trying to balance her career and family life.

In her book "Thrive: The Third Metric to Redefining Success and Creating a Life of Well-Being, Wisdom, and Wonder," Huffington discusses the importance of prioritizing self-care and well-being over the unrealistic expectations of being a Supermom or Perfect Mom. She emphasizes the need for women to take care of themselves first in order to be able to effectively care for their families and succeed in their careers.

Huffington's own experiences as a mother have taught her that trying to be perfect or superhuman in every aspect of life is not only exhausting but also detrimental to one's mental and physical health. She has spoken openly about the challenges she faced as a working mother, including feelings of guilt and inadequacy when she couldn't be there for her children as much as she would have liked.

Instead of striving for perfection, Huffington encourages women to embrace their imperfections and prioritize self-care, mindfulness, and well-being. She believes that true success is not measured by how well one can juggle work and family responsibilities, but by how happy and fulfilled one feels in all aspects of life.
