Moms Who Own It – Stop Apologizing!

Hey there, fellow moms! I totally understand where you’re coming from. Every type of mom—whether you’re a career woman, a stay-at-home superhero, slim, or curvy—deserves to feel great about themselves. But in our quest to celebrate the everyday mom, who often wrestles with body image, parenting missteps, and outside pressures, are we just settling for “good enough”?

Is mediocrity a temporary phase, or are we aiming for it as a goal? I’m all for keeping it real, but that mantra of “I’m not the perfect mom, and that’s totally fine!” might be sending the wrong message. When did striving for greatness become something to shy away from?

Real-Life Examples

Take my friend Sarah, for example. She has three degrees and a Pulitzer Prize, yet she feels the need to moan about her burnt cookies just to fit in at the local playgroup. Or there’s Jessica, whose son got into Harvard, but she downplays it as “no big deal” just so her relatives won’t feel awkward at family gatherings.

High-achieving moms, listen up! Just because you might make others feel inadequate doesn’t mean you need to feel superior. Many of us totally get that. So why not celebrate our wins and look up to those fierce women who own their accomplishments?

Don’t get me wrong—I’m not saying we should flaunt every little success on social media. No one needs to be put on a pedestal; that just sets you up for a fall. Laughing off our flops is healthy, but we don’t have to apologize for our muffin tops when someone praises us for finishing a marathon in under five hours.

Inspiration Over Intimidation

We can highlight moms who juggle family life and still excel in other areas. Why? Because it’s incredibly motivating to see women like us kicking butt and taking names. I used to think, “Sure, famous moms like Beyoncé can do it all. They’ve got the resources!” But then I read about a woman who authored another bestseller, and she insisted her husband’s salary deserved all the glory. Isn’t that a bit of a cop-out?

Instead of feeling intimidated by success stories, let’s feel inspired! Why don’t we celebrate groundbreaking female scientists, Nobel laureates, or brave doctors with the same enthusiasm as binge-watching reality shows?

Breaking Free from Mediocrity

We don’t need any more excuses. The pressure to conform is everywhere, yet here we are—many of us balancing successful careers, training for Ironman races, writing articles, mastering Mandarin, or even becoming black belts. We craft laws, save lives, and raise amazing kids who are both smart and kind. We’re organized, capable, and proud of our bodies and families.

Our partners pitch in with chores, but we manage all of this without a full-time staff or platinum album sales. We’re achieving everything we’ve dreamed of and more. And guess what? We don’t owe anyone an apology for that.
