How incredible has the last two weeks been in athleticism and sport? Highlighting the kaha, the strength of our wāhine - especially in motherhood.
Mumhood or not, this post is for you.
Mumhood and performance has always been a thing, and the recent attention and highlights of our mums reaching greatness continues to uplift and evolve beliefs and attitudes of women around the globe.
It the great words of Tia “If you have a goal or dream, go for it” -
Becoming a mum does not halt a women’s ambition. These women continue to give us hope and purpose beyond.
What we tend to oversee, or not pay the needed attention to is the PROCESS it takes to continue the goal driven attitudes of our women. And we heard it numerous times these past week..
✅The gold medal and podium contribution of the villages and whānau that support mum to thrive.
✅The mental and physical changes and challenges that are overcome.
✅Body composition and rebuilding phases of mental and physical strength and trust in performance
✅Identity changes, adaptability in routine and acceptance.
✅Sacrifice, compromise snd compensation.
All these things mums go through are worthy of celebration, as well as the high performing finish!
I put this post in the context of fitness and performance, however the same applies in any goal orientated wāhine. Business, or even having motherhood as the ultimate goal, the process remains the same and should be celebrated and highlighted all year round.
Humble brag, second slide - 4months PP with my first baby, after my first BODYATTACK filming. A highlight in my career, and not achieved without the process and all the above pillars to continue a career of abundance. Forever grateful.
Here’s to acknowledging these incredible women (final slide the ones in particular who inspire me)
If becoming a mum is something you desire amongst other ambitions, it’s done and will always be. You are greatness.
Kia kaha wāhine toa!
