“P.B.” can stand for a lot of things . . . peanut butter, pass back (in basketball), and–for the purposes of this podcast–Personal Best.
Join April Perry and Andrea Davis (two of the authors of Deliberate Motherhood), as they discuss Andrea’s section of the book that was published in Chapter 4: Celebrate Your Uniqueness.
They’ll discuss methods for focusing on our own “personal bests” and giving ourselves relief from trying to measure up to someone else’s standards.

I love the POMs podcasts, and this has been my favorite one so far. It’s so easy to compare our worst with other’s best- thank you for the reminder that our personal best is what matters most!
Thank you for this podcast! I love all of the POM podcasts, but this has been my favorite so far. It’s always easy to compare our personal worst to other people’s personal best- thank you for the reminder on what matters most!
In a world where we are surrounded by pressure to do, be, look, and act like the worldly standard it is so encouraging to hear about young women and mothers who are striving to be better people based on their own individuality. When we accept that this life wasn’t meant to be a competition then we are making an honest start at happiness. Good thoughts Andrea I really enjoyed this podcast.
Andrea, you have come up with a good balance for your family and you have your head on straight. There is so much peer pressure to do things that aren’t needed. We women are so unnecessarily hard on ourselves. Thanks for passing on your good common sense.
Andrea that was a great interview and article to put in perspective of what does matter most in our lives as we remember that how we use our own abilities and talents is what is important. Thanks for sharing.
Andrea,
Thank you for that. Lot of good tidbits for me to remember for myself as a single dad. I’m constantly feeling like I fall short trying to fill 2 roles when I have my girls with me. Sometimes our best is just good enough.
