There have been many great mums throughout history.
Marie Curie — who raised her two young daughters alone after her husband’s sudden death — was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize, and remains the only person ever to win two Nobel Prizes in two different fields.
J.K. Rowling had her first Harry Potter book published after losing her mother, going through divorce, living on government benefits, and facing deep depression.
But greatness isn’t reserved only for those whose names are in the spotlight. Becoming a mum is one of the bravest, most extraordinary things any human being can do. Raising children is among the hardest and most demanding journeys anyone can face.
The sleepless nights. The struggles with feeding. The unexpected emotional swings. The endless to-do lists. The loss of “me.” The constant juggle between work and kids…
None of it is easy — yet here you are, showing up every single day. And that alone is greatness.
If you have a dream, chase it.
If you have a goal, strive for it.
If you have an idea, begin it.
Motherhood doesn’t mean letting go of our dreams.
Motherhood means we are stronger, braver, and more powerful than ever to pursue them.
You can do it — because you are already great.
