You don’t have to be a ‘mother’ to celebrate darling.
Mothering Sunday is in fact, an old religious tradition for giving young women in service a day off to be with their families at church. It was reconfigured by the USA in the early 1900’s to celebrate nurturing of children and family. The trouble is Mother’s Day is thought to be only for mothers and leaves many women out of the equation for a number of reasons.
However, you don’t have to be ‘a mother’ to celebrate and be celebrated. Neither of The Burnout Queens have children, but over our careers we have nurtured hundreds (verging on thousands) of young women (and some men).
As psychotherapists and international coaches, we nurture our clients to grow, mature, expand their lives, marry, divorce, have children, decide to be childless, secure careers, change life direction, and become beautiful humans. For that we are proud of our mothering.
For us, however, the biggest mothering blessing is to witness clients finding their true soul’s desire.
So to all the women we know (and have yet to meet) who think today is only for those with children, celebrate helping and nurturing those around you. We and you are loved and make a massive difference!
Love, The Burnout Queens xx
