For our kids,

It is a feeling that is felt deep down
of our hearts
It is the purest form of love, respect
It is an honour, an emotional bond
Difficult to define a mother?

Mother’s Love for child: no bond
so strong in the entire world
 Patience
 Affection
 Unconditional & selfless
 It knows no law, no pity
 No love so insttantaneous &
forgiving

What is motherhood ?
 A divine role, a gift from God,
 Highest, holiest selfless service
 Both a daunting responsibility
& a glorious opportunity
 An indescribable journey
where the umbilical cord can
never be cut!

Motherhood is learning how to mother yourself
Motherhood is
discovering YOU
that YOU knew
never existed

Beauty of Motherhood
Never Letting Go

Being a mother doesn’t
mean simply having children
 A Life starts within
 Choice starts
 Caring for yourself & baby
 You watch your heart beating
outside your body!

 After all motherhood is a choice you make every
day to put your child’s
HAPPINESS & WELL- BEING ahead of your own

She knows when to let go

Her happiness depends on her children…

That cannot be seen or touched
FEELINGS

 When you first missed your period, test was positive for
pregnancy
 When you saw your baby’s heart beat on ultrasound
 When you first felt nausea
 When you first felt the kick
 When you first held the baby in your hand, first touch & feel
 When you first breastfed him
 When you saw the first smile
INDESCRIBABLE FEELINGS...

BEING HUMAN & FORMING BONDS

CHILD
What is it that makes you a Mom?

Forms lasting emotional bonds
SHARING JOYS & SORROWS

UNCONDITIONAL LOVE & AFFECTION

 Girlhood brain- focus on

Female Brain & Hormones……..

Motherhood brain
 Brain changes essential part
of motherhood- make the

back to work soon after
delivery- profound conflict- go

My journey as a Mother

from a daughter to a working mother
What do you want to do when you
grow up?
Many answers
Like you, a working mother.
“I still love this question” when kids answer

Balance between Definition &
Completion
Motherhood defines me in more than one way
Work completes me in more than one way

 Immense pressure & numerous problems both
at personal and professional fronts
 New problems – New wisdom
 Every day is different
 Every patient is unique

My Learnings from motherhood

You learn selflessness
You want to give your kids an incredible
experience
That’s all that matters
I will feel like my heart is outside my chest.

As moms, we always have the special
mommy moments. What’s one of your
favorites?

My Give to You All in your journey as
a mother………..
As you rise, you need to ask for help. Ask
people to help watch your kids. These are
family goals…not just mommy goals. Don’t
isolate your business from your family.
Bring in your spouse and your kids into
your business.

Tips for being successful in
what you do
Think long term, not short term
Spend less time with negative people
Don’t be afraid to ask for help
Always follow through
Learn how to lead other women & men
Value your time
Every year, rest new goals
Get uncomfortable
Surround yourself with people who believe in you
Stay focused
Never depend on anybody for your happiness
Speak up: Be assertive

 She brought us to this world
 Fed us with her milk
 Sang lullabyes
 Woke up with us throughout night
 Cared all the time
 Still holding our hands no matter how old we are
Celebrate for our mothers
Tell your mother how much you love and respect her

We have only one
life- only one mother-
before its too late
express your love
I LOVE YOU MOTHER

Most of us owe our successes in
the world to the love we received
from Mom
