About this listen

Perfectly, imperfect is the podcast for high achieving, perfectionist women struggling to see their worth in motherhood, with Ria Oliver, owner of The Maternal Wellbeing Foundation, and emotional coach and therapist for anxious, maxed out mums.

I believe that when a woman truly finds herself in motherhood, it is often for the very first time in her life, and only then is she able to shed the weight of expectation, conditioning, judgement and her worth being tied into productivity, and that this is one of the most freeing journeys a woman can go on.

Join me while we delve into being perfectly imperfect and step into being uniquely you in motherhood.

New episodes every Thursday.

  • When the 'good girl' bubble bursts 🫧
    Jul 3 2025

    Ever felt like screaming “This is not fair!” after being endlessly accommodating, always the good girl and constantly striving to be perfect?

    This episode explores what happens when the good girl bubble bursts, and the buried rage, grief, and unmet needs rise to the surface.

    I’ll guide you through the discomfort of change and how to face up to what’s finally coming up.

    Your journal prompts to help you explore what we talk about today:

    • What am I really angry about underneath the surface-level stuff?
    • What have I been taught about being ‘good’—and what has that cost me?
    • What kind of woman do I want to become now that I’m done being the good girl?

  • Self Trust vs Stifling Control?
    Jun 26 2025

    Pride yourself in always being in control?

    Got a bit of a control freak nature, but you can see it's starting to put a strain on things?

    Here's the thing...life will life. Chaos, and unexpected curveballs, will come.

    But what if you had the tools to emotionally process the unexpected, without falling apart and without feeling like you've got to have your sh*t together all the time?

    This episode is your invitation to build unwavering trust in yourself so that perfectionism no longer controls how you live, cope, or show up when things get hard.

    Journal prompts to help you dig deep into the control freak in you;

    1. When have I surprised myself with how strong or capable I was?
    2. What do I do to avoid uncomfortable emotions, and how is that working for me?
    3. What would trusting myself look like in a real-life situation I’m facing right now?
