Ladies, channeling the powerful words of Beyoncé: who’s in charge here? We are! As mothers, we own our journey, and there’s nothing timid about it. When life throws us curveballs, we roll up our sleeves, lift our heads high, and move forward with resilience, even while carrying the enormous weight of our responsibilities.
We stride confidently because we trust our instincts when it comes to our children. In the wee hours of the morning, when a fever rises, we don’t need to justify our concerns to anyone. We instinctively know when our children are unwell or in distress, and we act swiftly to provide the care they need.
We stand proud, disregarding the judgment of mom shamers. We know what’s best for our children; we understand how to nourish them, keep them safe, and instill values. The opinions of those who criticize our parenting choices don’t matter. Forget the sanctimonious critics.
We meet moments of self-doubt with grace, cognizant that mom guilt is real. While it can sometimes motivate us to do better, it doesn’t define our worth as mothers. That guilt can often morph into anxiety or depression, but we refuse to let those labels diminish our strength. So here’s to leaving mom guilt behind.
Within us lies a fierce Mama Bear, ready to protect our families at a moment’s notice. Even when we may not feel it, that protective instinct is always present. We harness this power during challenging circumstances, whether it’s a visit to the ER, defending our children from bullies, or shielding them from the harsh realities of life, such as divorce or disasters. We are relentless protectors.
Our love for our children is both fierce and profound. They feel our love in everything they do, no matter how far they wander. We teach them compassion, and our bond is unbreakable, held together by our unwavering love.
Being fierce encompasses the many diverse shapes and colors of our bodies, which are all uniquely beautiful. We understand that true beauty radiates from within. Through motherhood, we embrace our inner strength, whether we’re in sweatpants or T-shirts adorned with baby spit-up.
We are strong for prioritizing our children’s needs, even if it means occasionally putting ourselves last. We deserve to indulge too, whether it’s hiding Halloween treats in the back of the freezer or carving out time for self-care. We’ve earned it.
So, when motherhood takes an unexpected turn, remember these truths of empowerment. You’ve expanded your heart beyond measure to welcome these remarkable kids into your life, often shouldering their fears and stresses so they don’t have to. Who manages to do all this? Moms do—effortlessly.
