Ladies, channeling the spirit of Beyoncé—who runs this show? We do! As mothers, we take charge, and we do it with undeniable strength. When the challenges of motherhood feel overwhelming, we roll up our sleeves, square our shoulders, and strut with confidence because we are warriors, shouldering what sometimes seems like the weight of the world.
We walk with pride because we trust our instincts when it comes to our children. There’s no need to justify our concerns at 2:30 a.m. when a fever spikes. We instinctively know when our kids are unwell, injured, or in need of support. We swoop in and handle business.
We hold our heads high, unfazed by the critics. We understand what is best for our children, how to nourish their bodies, keep them safe, and guide them in right from wrong. We disregard the loud voices that question our parenting choices. To heck with the sanctimonious moms!
We meet self-doubt with a smile, recognizing that while mom guilt can sometimes drive us, it doesn’t define our success as mothers. We understand that guilt can morph into anxiety or depression, and we refuse to let those labels diminish our worth. So, here’s to banishing mom guilt!
Deep inside us lies a fierce Mama Bear ready to protect our families at a moment’s notice. Though we may not always feel it, that strength is there, waiting to be unleashed in the most challenging moments—whether at the ER or standing up to school bullies, we guard our children against the frightening realities of the world, like divorce, natural disasters, or violence. We are the defenders of our loved ones.
Our love is powerful and distinct. No matter how far our children venture as they grow, they feel our love in everything they do. They learn compassion because we modeled it for them. Our bond with our families is unbreakable, and that is truly empowering.
Being empowered means celebrating the beautiful diversity of our bodies, shapes, and colors. We know that true beauty radiates from within, and through motherhood, we shine brightly, even if our “diva” look involves comfy sweatpants or T-shirts that bear the marks of baby spit-up.
We are empowered for putting our children’s needs before our own, ensuring they have what they need. We are also permitted to prioritize ourselves occasionally, treating ourselves to something silly (hello, hidden Halloween candy stashed away for months). Because, let’s face it, we deserve it.
So, when motherhood takes an unexpected turn, remind yourself of these truths. You have expanded your heart beyond measure to welcome these incredible little beings into your life, often absorbing their fears and pressures to shield them from harm. Who can do that? Moms can, effortlessly.
Because, in the iconic words of Beyoncé, who runs this mutha? WE DO!

We prioritize their needs while also making space for our own. When challenges arise, we draw on our inner strength to protect and support our families. Ultimately, we are the ones who run this show.
