Mother’s Day Special – Emotions & Stories from Mothers

Rashmi Chauhan

I came to Australia as a student and slowly built a life that became my home. Becoming a single mother of two young children was never part of my plan, but it became my greatest strength. Through every challenge, I kept showing up for my kids, giving them love, stability, and support.

As my children grew, I found the courage to rebuild my own dreams through entrepreneurship and personal growth. Inspired by the resilience of my mother and grandmother, I continue to move forward with strength and purpose.

My story is a reminder that no matter how difficult life becomes, we can always rise again. Happy Mother’s Day to every mother carrying silent battles with courage and love.

Shirin Lakhani

I became a mother at a time when I was still piecing myself back together after cancer had taken so much from me—my certainty, my identity, my sense of control. But in that vulnerable space, something extraordinary happened. Motherhood didn’t demand perfection from me; it invited presence, honesty, and softness.

I learned to mother from a place of truth—showing my children what strength looks like when it’s quiet, what courage feels like when it’s trembling, and how love can be both fierce and gentle at the same time.

That journey shaped the leader I am today: grounded, intentional, and unafraid to rise again and again. If my story reaches even one woman who feels lost, I hope she sees this truth—you can rebuild, you can rise, and you can lead from the very place that once broke you.

Before becoming your mum, Arya, there were heartbreaks and losses that tested me deeply, including losing my own mother far too soon. I still wish she were here to see you and the mother she helped shape me into.

Then you came into my life — our miracle. In just a few weeks, you’ll turn 5, and being your mum remains the greatest gift of my life. Your love, laughter, and gentle heart healed parts of me I didn’t know were broken.

This Mother’s Day, I celebrate not only motherhood, but the strength, love, and journey that brought us here together.

Being a mother is an art shaped by love, strength, sacrifice, and instinct. There is no perfect way to be a mum — every mother is simply doing her best for her child.

This Mother’s Day, let’s choose compassion over judgment. Behind every mother is a journey filled with silent worries, endless sacrifices, and unconditional love.

To every mum in every stage of motherhood — you are stronger than you think, and what you do every day truly matters.

Ranjita Sharma

The day my son was born, my life changed forever. He gave my life a deeper purpose and became the reason I continue to grow, strive, and move forward every day.

Motherhood has taught me resilience through sleepless nights, quiet sacrifices, and the challenges of balancing life, work, and family. In every difficult moment, my son has been my greatest source of strength and inspiration.

Inspired by the values and wisdom passed down from my mother, I’ve learned that motherhood is not just a role — it is a journey of unconditional love, growth, sacrifice, and becoming stronger with every step.

Dr. Shinu Kiran

Motherhood blossomed within me through my son, Sachvin — my greatest blessing and my constant source of strength. In his smile, I find peace, and in his love, I find the courage to keep moving forward.

He is my anchor, my inspiration, and the reason I continue growing into the woman I’m meant to become. Motherhood is a quiet kind of power — where love runs deep, strength grows silently, and a mother’s heart becomes her greatest superpower.

From little girls holding onto your hand,
to strong young women standing beside you —
time moves quickly, but a mother’s heart treasures every moment forever.

Happy Mother’s Day to a bond that begins with love and grows into a lifelong friendship shared between a mother and the two hearts born from her.

Aditi Janveja

Motherhood has been my greatest teacher — filled with lessons of patience, strength, and unconditional love. Watching my son grow into his own person has been both humbling and deeply rewarding. Every challenge has shaped me, and every moment has grounded me.

I may be raising him, but in so many beautiful ways, he has shaped me too. Love you, Aahan, more than words could ever express. Thank you for being my greatest joy and proudest blessing.

Deepa Nair

Motherhood is not merely love—
it is the quiet authority of a heart that understands before it is heard.

It is where emotion is refined into wisdom,
where words are chosen with care,
and even silence carries meaning.

To my children—
carry this into the world:
speak with intention, listen with depth,
and leave every heart better than you found it.
