Reposted from @annikaburke_ 🌷Happy Mother's Day🌷 (OK, I'm a day late, but I don't post on Sundays 😋) ⁠⁠ I've been thinking a lot lately about our roles as mothers alongside our soul purpose work. (See @sarahjenks excellent course on sovereign motherhood).⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Most of us feel guilty most of the time. This is because the Patriarchy pushes us in two directions. ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ 1. We feel guilty that we are not spending enough time with our kids. This is because for 3000 years, the patriarchy has basically told us that our primary worth comes from motherhood.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ 2. We feel guilty that we are not progressing in our careers. We have failed to 'lean in'. This is because the patriarchy rewards linear progress and requires us to prove our worth in our careers. ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Within this paradigm, we cannot win. ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ ✨What we need is a totally new way of looking at our work and our role as mothers.⁠⁠✨ ⁠⁠ Firstly, we need to drop the guilt. ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Secondly, we need to believe that we have come here at this time in history BOTH to do our soul-work and to raise the next generation (if that is what we are called to).⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ It doesn't have to be either or.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Our work is to find the unique balance that works for us. Need 8 hours of childcare for your soul work? TAKE IT. Only want to work 2 hours? TAKE IT.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Our work as awakened women is to prove that a new paradigm is possible. ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Because I promise you this - the universe want you to express your soul. Spirit wants you to be full of joy, and love, and magic. ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ ✨We can be mothers on our own unique terms. We can be soulpreneurs on our own unique terms. How we want it. No more guilt. Just joy, connection and magic.⁠⁠✨ ⁠⁠ Annika 🧚‍♀️✨ xoxo
