Is she the epitome of all our adulthood fantasies? The woman who does it all, has it all, and makes it look as easy as breathing?

You’ve seen her. She seems like a natural at everything she does.

Is she the one who cooks every meal from scratch? The one holding a child in each hand with a third in a sling on her chest? That’s worth gasping out loud!

Here’s the truth:

A Motivated Mama knows there is something better out there for her and her family—and she believes it’s within reach. She’s willing to invest herself with passion and claim her prize.

She is excited about living because life is meant to be enjoyed.

She isn’t a victim. She’s a full-fledged player in this game of life. She isn’t scared to fail because she knows there’s no such thing—only learning. There’s value in every experience.

A Motivated Mama takes care of herself because that’s how she becomes ready and able to take care of others. She respects and honors others because she first respects and honors herself.

Her voice is valuable—and for that reason, she speaks up and reaches out.

She is confident in who she is, so she’s free to give us the best of who she is. She isn’t forced. She doesn’t wear a mask. She sets goals and lives with abandon. She loves and lets others love her for exactly who she is.

A Motivated Mama is true to herself—and mature enough to accept that yes, she too can be a little better, a bit wiser, smarter, braver. Because of that, she accepts others for who they are and lets them be true to themselves too.

She sets others free.

A Motivated Mama lives with passion.

Now let’s turn the spotlight to you.

Are you driven by something to create a better something else?

Maybe you’re passionate about exercise so you can be healthy and play with your children with joy and energy. Maybe you love gardening because it brings beauty to your home and gives you a sense of accomplishment. Maybe you devote time to a passion—big or small—whether it’s investing, planning, or managing a precise calendar of events.

If so, you’re already on your way to becoming a Motivated Mama. You’ve got everything it takes: the ability to want something, go after it, and produce results.

There are plenty of women around us to admire—from close and from afar. But don’t forget yourself in the process. Give yourself some credit and admiration. Motherhood is the toughest job out there. We know. It’s time to shine some light on every mother. We do the best we can—and then some.

The Maternal Movement is for all mothers—whether you’re already a Motivated Mama, on your way there, or just starting out. We welcome you and hope to be a resource of love, inspiration, and empowerment.

Go get them, Mamas!
