What is motherhood to you?

Hi guys,

Have taken to writing lately as I embark on this new journey with my little man, would love to hear feedback and thoughts.

What is motherhood? It's a question many women ask themselves as they embark on this incredible journey. As a first-time mom, I often found myself searching for answers late at night, wondering if I was doing everything right or if I was failing in some way. But as I dove deeper into this role, I came to a realization there is no rule book for motherhood.

Society bombards us with expectations and stereotypes about what a mother should be. We feel the need to be perfect, to excel in every aspect of our lives, including being the perfect homemaker, career woman, and nurturer. But the truth is, there is no one size fits all definition of motherhood. It is what we make of it.

Motherhood is a deeply personal experience. It's about embracing our individuality, passions, and strengths, and incorporating them into our parenting style. It's about finding balance, finding joy in the little moments, and learning from the challenges.

No article, podcast, or self-help book can tell us what motherhood should be because every mother's journey is unique. There's no right or wrong, no perfect formula. We need to trust ourselves, listen to our instincts, and create our own version of motherhood.

Let go of the pressure to be perfect and embrace our authentic selves as mothers. Celebrate the diversity of experiences and choices that make motherhood so beautiful. To me the true definition of motherhood lies in our ability to love, nurture, and guide our children in the best way we know how.
