Mothers are undeniably fierce. Whether they’re racing through a grocery store in record time without so much as a shopping list or managing a tantruming toddler in public, they handle every challenge with remarkable tenacity. I embrace every aspect of motherhood, and I’m unapologetically proud of it.
I communicate like a mother—loudly and assertively. I want my voice to resonate because I’m passionate about issues that matter, from social justice to the treatment of women. We mothers refuse to be silenced or dismissed simply because we’re “just mothers.” Strong voices are a hallmark of motherhood, and we wield them with confidence.
I throw like a mother because I’m capable. I’ve carried three children, often juggling two at once. I once climbed up the side of a pool while pregnant to save my 2-year-old from sinking. I can manage multiple grocery bags in one hand while steering a stroller with the other. Mothers embody strength in every sense.
I dress like a mother. Heels? Absolutely, when the occasion calls for it. I can navigate public restrooms with style, and I proudly wear yoga pants wherever I please. My favorite Adidas tee sometimes serves as my all-day outfit. I enjoy dressing up in a lovely dress, but I also feel beautiful in my activewear. Each mother has her unique style, and we confidently own our appearance.
I style my hair like a mother. Some days it’s in a messy bun because life is busy, while other days I put in the time and effort because it matters to me. Anything that enhances a mother’s sense of self is worth the investment—no exceptions.
I express myself like a mother. I don’t shy away from using strong language when it feels appropriate. My children know that mommy has a foul mouth, but they understand that certain words are off-limits until they’re older. However, I won’t tolerate hate, judgment, or negativity in any form.
I drink like a mother. My day begins with caffeine, and I relish it in all its forms. Without it, I can be a bit of a bear, and I make no apologies for enjoying this small pleasure that enhances my parenting. At night, I might unwind with a drink, whether alone or with fellow amazing mothers, while indulging in some reality TV. It’s a simple joy that helps me relax.
I love like a mother—with an intensity that’s hard to put into words. Motherhood ignites a flame within us, one that burns fiercely and is everlasting. Our capacity to love grows exponentially once we become mothers.
I clean like a mother. There are days when my home sparkles, every corner cleaned to perfection, even if it lasts only a moment. Other times, I’m too busy living life to worry about the state of my house. Stains might drive me crazy one day, while I overlook them the next. I have found myself cleaning frantically after a yoga session on a dusty floor, yet I can also play with my kids without a second thought about the mess around me.
So when someone remarks, “You do that like a mother,” I proudly agree. Mothers own their journey. We are proud, assertive, and we savor life’s little pleasures like coffee, wine, and a good haircut. We dress how we choose and navigate our lives according to our needs. And when challenges arise, we know how to address them—like a true mother.
