In light of the upcoming Mother’s Day holiday, there is a video which represents the intensity of a day in the life of a Mother that has gone viral. It was an experiment of sorts. A ‘fake’ job was posted on a highly respected job site, and the applicants who applied for this position were interviewed via video conference, so we would see their reaction to the job description at hand. The position was that of a Mother. And without going into detail, take a look at this before reading this to the end.

Touching right? Had me totally in tears. Not just for the principle of what we as women and Mothers do every day without hesitation, but also for the fact that this is the hardest job in the world, without monetary reward, and a job that we would never ever quit! Motherhood. Something that nobody can ever describe into words or actions. Something that you will experience on your own once you have children and BAM…..we will now never judge another parent full-knowing the complexity of it all!
So as my blogs are health and fitness based, this week is about our mental health. We all need help! Maybe not in the present, but help finding ourselves again. Help from other mothers, sisters, friends who are going through and have experienced this awesome life roller coaster. Help to let us laugh, cry, yell, hug, high-five and just plain old vent. Yes we have our significant others who we vent to every day, and for that I’m grateful. But only a mother understands what we are fully going through. Who could ever go on this journey alone? This is one of those life experiences that should be shared with others who have crossed that threshold!
There is one thing that I will never take for granted, the power of women. I know I will grab onto my girlfriends and hold on tight and say thank you. Thank you for applying for my help wanted position and accepting the job! I do hope I can also provide even the tiniest bit of help and therapy that each of you have given me. Without you women and mothers, I don’t know if I could have gotten through this beautifully full and crazy kid-filled life! Happy Mother’s day to all of us high level underpaid executives! JOB WELL DONE!
