Motherhood takes many forms — by birth, by choice, or simply by heart. At She Magazine and Empowered BWB ,we believe every woman who nurtures, uplifts, and leads with love is a mother in her own beautiful way.
This Mother’s Day, we bring you a heartfelt tribute to women who balance it all — caring for families, building businesses, and inspiring communities. Their stories are filled with grace, resilience, and purpose.
💖 Read on and be inspired by these incredible mums who continue to shape the world with their strength, love, and unwavering spirit.
“A mother is she who can take the place of all others but whose place no one else can take.” — Cardinal Meymillod 🌸
From Alaka Satapathy

Being a mum isn’t about ticking boxes — it’s not in the number of school lunches packed or how many times we say “put your socks on.”
It’s in the small, fleeting moments: spontaneous ice cream runs, giggles during a late-night walk, or those surprise cuddles halfway through a movie. That’s what they’ll remember.
And that’s what I’m holding on to. To every mum out there juggling work, home, health, and heart — who still shows up with love:
This Mother’s Day is for you. 💖 We were made to be calm in chaos, to be their harbour even when our own waves are crashing.
And to my own mum — my first harbour, my forever calm — thank you. You taught me strength wrapped in softness, and how to give endlessly, yet hold space for myself.
Wishing all the incredible mums a day full of love, reflection, and well-deserved rest.
Mother’s Day: A Living Orchestra of Love 🌸
From Casey Zhang
One Star Diamond Director – USANA Global Distributor
This Mother’s Day, I celebrate a new rhythm of motherhood — a living, breathing orchestra of love and conscious choice, playing softly and powerfully in the everyday moments of life. Being a mother to our three biological children — and stepping in for our beloved niece after the heartbreaking loss of my eldest brother when she was just 15 — has been a journey shaped by deep love, resilience, and grace. It hasn’t always been perfect — nor was it ever meant to be.
There were seasons of mismatched socks, of blame over lost clothes that were hiding under beds.
There were difficult financial decisions, like investing in our future even when cash flow was tight.
But love reveals itself not in perfection — it shows up in the quiet, everyday choices made with intention. Today, our daughters — now strong, thoughtful young women — show up for our family with their own savings, emotional strength, and unexpected acts of kindness. Amid rising living costs in Sydney, they’ve become pillars of support, reminding me:
Love always comes full circle. As an immigrant mother and businesswoman, raising and evolving alongside my children has been one of life’s greatest gifts.
I now find myself in a new season — where I am always their mother, but not always their “parent” in the traditional sense. Because parenting, I’ve learned, is not a one-way role. It is a dynamic relationship — of mutual support, shared wisdom, and deep, unconditional love. This Easter Monday was a perfect reflection of that harmony.
Our eldest daughter became the Master Chef. I joined her for grocery shopping, while my 15-year-old son and I helped prep the kitchen. My husband, usually the cook, relaxed for once.
Our second daughter brought home coffee — her way of pampering us all.
We laughed, cooked, sipped, and celebrated not just the meal — but the comfort and connection that filled our home. And of course, our two beloved corgis — Dino and Thorbi — are very much a part of this love-filled symphony. Their wagging tails, cuddles, and joy remind us daily that family love comes in many forms, and every heartbeat matters.
This is what motherhood has become for me —
A conscious dance led by love, not control.
A journey rich with everyday choices and shared growth.
A living orchestra, where each note — human or paw print — matters deeply.
To all mothers, caregivers, bonus parents, and those reimagining what family looks like —
May you feel empowered to compose your own symphony of love.
Let it be real. Let it be mutual. Let it be yours. Happy Mother’s Day 💖
Here’s to parenting reimagined — one choice, one moment, one heartbeat at a time.

This Mother’s Day, we celebrate not only mothers by birth but also the ones who nurture with heart, teach with patience, and uplift with love. Thank you, Pallavi, for bringing the spirit of motherhood into every beat and movement of dance.

Happy Mother’s Day 🌸
From Lydia Binil
“Some of the loudest laughs, the biggest lessons, and the softest moments of my life are because of these two little humans.
As a mum (and a dad, and everything in between some days), it’s not just about raising children — it’s about growing ourselves too.
It’s the 2AM cuddles, the scraped knees, the proud ‘look what I made!’ moments that teach us patience, presence, and unconditional love.
They think we’re teaching them how to live… but secretly, they’re teaching us how to truly be alive.
I wouldn’t trade this chaotic, beautiful, messy, magical journey for anything. ❤️
Here’s to the mums, the dads who’ve been mums, the bonus parents, and the village — doing the hardest and most important work in the world.”
Happy Mother’s Day to all the incredible hearts raising the future.
Mother’s Day: A Promise of Love, Laughter & Showing Up 🌸
From Michelle Walker Katz
Mother’s Day holds a special place in my heart. While much of my adult life has been shaped by the fast-paced world of business—tight deadlines, long hours, and building a career I’m proud of—being a mum to my three beautiful daughters is, without question, my greatest achievement.
I always dreamed of having three children. After our second, there was a pause, and like many women, conceiving again wasn’t easy with age. But I never let go of that hope—and eventually, we were blessed with our third daughter, completing our little trio perfectly.
Raising three strong, kind, and fiercely loyal girls brings me immeasurable joy. They cheer for me in business as I cheer for them in life. I want them to know that women can lead, succeed, and still show up with heart, grace, and kindness. That’s the legacy I strive to live by every single day.
My parents migrated from the former Soviet Union 45 years ago, working tirelessly to give my sister and me a better life. Their sacrifices taught me resilience and drive, but also inspired a quiet promise—to always show up for my children. To be there, emotionally and physically, creating lasting memories filled with laughter, love, and connection.
I often share these moments on social media—not for validation, but because they are everything to me.
To my mum: thank you for always being proud and for your love—even in your toughest feedback, I see your strength.
And to my husband Steve: thank you for making my dreams come true. For building this beautiful family with me, supporting my journey, and being my biggest cheerleader.
This Mother’s Day, my heart overflows with gratitude—for the life we’ve built, the love that surrounds us, and the family that means everything.
Wishing all the incredible mums, dads, and caregivers a beautiful Mother’s Day filled with joy and unforgettable memories. 💖
Happy Mother’s Day 💗
— Sejal Joshi, Owner of Prompt Driving School
This Mother’s Day, I honour two mothers —
the one I lost, and the one I’m becoming. 🌸
I lost my mum when I was just 11. I never fully experienced a mother’s love — and that silent ache stayed with me through the years. But her absence became my strength. It became my reason to love louder, hug tighter, and show up every single day for my children in ways I once longed for.
Today, I strive to be their safe place, their joy, their forever home.
Though she’s not with me, I carry my mother’s memory in every loving moment I create with my kids. A part of her lives on — through me, through them, through love.
We wish you all a Happy Mother’s Day! 🌸
– With love, Indu
