Mothers’ Heartbeats

Motherhood and career, often perceived as opposing forces, are in reality two vital components that can harmoniously exist, much like oxygen and hydrogen in one formula. It is a life relationship shaping the future of children and requiring a delicate balance of prioritizing important tasks while attending to urgent responsibilities. Balancing work and family life is no easy feat, but it is essential to value a mother's role as a capable person, not limiting her capabilities or undervaluing her contributions.  It is about her gaining potential, strength, confidence, and courage by making things the society thought she cannot do.

Mothers should take pride in their ambitions and expanding their learning. By setting new standards of expectations, they contribute to elevating society to new heights. At the same time, parenting is a full-time lifetime commitment that requires dedication, love, and adaptability. Impressing children can shape their daily experiences and future trajectory. The influence of a mother’s love and guidance can shape a child’s character, aspirations, and sense of self-worth in profound ways. In essence, motherhood is passion beyond words. Moms live by this, and it holds the power of all. They inspire and make things happen.

Working moms, and parents in general, require reliable support systems, positive attitudes, time-management, inclusive rules, and regulations to help juggle the demands of work and family.  Mothers are skilled at recognizing when something is not right with their precious ones - they are like super-humans in that sense. When it comes to children's dignity and health, working moms know innately not to make compromises. They know how to successfully grow the bond and intervene whenever important. Best memories come from regular actions such as bedtime stories and playing together. Enjoying some details and living in the moment is what matters most. However, it is realistic to remember that no parent is perfect, and there will be times of doubt, frustration, and tears. Yes, working moms can fall repeatedly, but the most important thing is to know how to stand up again. Being thankful for all the challenges, the tough times, the nightmares they face; these circumstances are what make them resilient and oriented towards desired goals.

It promotes a culture that values flexibility and diversity, providing support such as relocation assistance, offering virtual work options, involving on-site facilities, drawing transparency in pay and benefits, and fostering a caring organizational environment. The accelerated digital shift brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic has had a positive impact on increasing representation and opportunities for mothers in the sector. In regions like the Middle East, there is still progress to be made in ensuring that talented moms have equal access to leadership positions and opportunities. However, the momentum towards gender equality and inclusivity is undeniable, fueled by the unwavering determination of working mothers and their allies.

The love shared within families and the belief in oneself play a significant role in navigating obstacles and finding fulfillment in both personal and professional spheres. It is this power of mothers’ heartbeats that can make the Difference.
