Your archetype is Village mum!
Image Source
Hello Village mum! As a Village mum you value the idea that you cannot do it all alone! You know that this is a myth. You love: - organising playdates for your little one- organising group activities so that your child gets to know other people- school pick ups and meeting other parents- sharing your journey with others especially when it gets overwhelming at timesYou are a networker which means that you love the concept of creating a village around yourself to look after your children. From taking your kids to activities or organising playdates. You will want to know the mothers and fathers outside the school run. It does not scare you to look after a group of children as long as the same will be done when you need it too! It's so cool to be able to rely on other people when it comes to raising children. We know that we need a village to raise them and sometimes we feel quite alone especially when our partner might be working long hours and travelling! That's why you should prioritise:- organising their weekly activity schedules- school pick ups at least 2x a week over other priorities- getting to know other parents which will help you when you might have an emergency or are in need of a break!- understand the preferences of your child and creating quality time that will match your skills!This doesn’t mean that you don’t care about showing up for other things in your kid’s life, BUT it does mean that this is probably what you should prioritize the most. AND realize that you can delegate some of those other tasks. Remember that you can’t do it all as a working mum and it’s okay to NOT feel guilty that you can’t do all the things because you’re focusing on what’s truly important.----------------------------------------------As a Village mum your Moto is: "In this world, there are things you can only do alone, and things you can only do with somebody else, it is important to combine the two just the right amount" - After Dark, Haruki Murakami----------------------------------------Here are the 3 pillars of the 21st Century Mum! A A 21 CENTURY MUM IS A TRUTH-SEEKERA 21st Century mum does not shy away from the truth of her emotions. It's not straight forward to going back to school after a break for our children and the same applies to us. When we decide to embark on something new such as returning back to work, we might be facing so many different emotions (awkward, loneliness, resentment, fear...). This is why it is so important to name those emotions so that we can own them and work through the discomfort! 1. Reality Check. Find the truth about your emotions, your skills as well as your limitations! When you understand your emotions rather than burrying them, you can process them and name them. Shaming yourself doesn't work. If anything you can feel more resentment towards your child if for instance you feel impatient to going back to work and think that you should stay at home.What is it that you want to do? Is working a big part of your life? It may be as simple as accepting this and deciding on how you can go back to work so that you don't feel submerged with guilt. 2. Accept what fulfills you. You will not enjoy every single stage of child development! Some mothers love the baby phase. I know I do! Some others prefer when the child is much older, sometimes the dreaded teenage phase ends up to be the preferred time for some parents. Being able to have conversation and brainstorming ideas might be what you love doing. Hence why every mother's skills are different. Comparing yourslef to your next door mother will make it worse. Realise what your skills are and then move towards creating your own motherhood definition! 3. It's about embracing and accepting your limits After naming your skills, accepting your limits is the next step. That does not mean that you ignore them, you might want to pause and ask yourself how can I fill the gap here? Do I want to invest in them or shall I delegate? My biggest realisation here was to realise that other people can help. I am a Highly Sensitive person myself and I want our children to see other ways to handle big challenges than the way I do. I want to give them different resources to overcome anxities in their lives. Hence why the idea of creating a village of people around you that can spend time with your kids is key! It also removes the pressure of thinking we have to do it all! A 21st CENTURY MUM MAKES DISSOLVING GUILT HER PRIORITY! If Guilt was a box of medecine, you would want to choose the one that dissolves quickly in the glass of water! Guilt is a normal emotion and we need it to become better at what we do, including motherhood. However too much of it will make us shame ourselves. So let's disolve this guilt by normalising that: 1. It's okay to want a career Mothers sometimes feel guilty that they want a career and might prefer working more than they prefer mothering. Realising that children can be raised happy and healthy even if the parents arent there at all times is key. There is a difference between never being here or present and being here for the moments that matter to you and your children. The key is realising that sometimes 10min a day is better than hours of disconnected time. 2. Create Quality time by matching your own interests with your childrens' If there is one thing to take away from this Quizz is that the most important about Quality time is to focus on prioritizing the activities you are good at as a mother taking into consideration the preferences of your child. If your daughter likes going outdoor and you enjoy being creative. What is it that can be a good activity for the two of you to do outside? 3. Another very common guilt is doing it all and alone. You have a limited amount of time available on a weekly/monthly/yearly basis. Therefore, you will need to understand that it is not possible to do everything by yourself. There is a difference between what you think is expected of you as a mother and what you want as a mother. You may want to realise something: it's ok to want a career, it's ok not to enjoy every phase of child development, it's ok not to like doing certain activities, it's ok not to want to be with your kids all the time.It's not ok to compare yourself to other mothers and feeling shame for not being good enough.The perfect mother doesnt exist. Instead, work on being a good enough mother.One client told me that the best memories she had with her mother was when she saw her 10min a day before bedtime and her mother was happy doing something that she loved. She said to me that the connection they felt then was worth the unlimited amount of time she had to dedicate to her when she was less busy and not fulfilled! A 21st CENTURY MUM PRIORITISES PLANNING PRIORITIES! Planning is key to everyone but even more so to working mothers. The reason being that we need to be super flexible. There are too many unexpected and unknown things coming our way on a daily basis. Hence why asking yourself on a Sunday what is it that: - I could schedule and block time for the important- I could reschedule to another date?- I could delete or delegate? Are the top questions we should be asking ourselves on a Sunday before the week starts. This will help remove so much pressure and uncertainties for our week ahead. We need to be able to block time and invest strategically around our priorities. This means asking for help with our partner, our nanny or our village.The 21st Century is a truth seeker also about her pace. When we do goal setting exercise, we need to pause in accepting the fact that if you only have 30 hours of work a week, there is so much you will be able to achieve. Sometimes we have unrealistic expectations about what we want to achieve and when. This means we will not feel satisfied and will lack confidence.

Remember that you can’t do it all as a working mum and it’s okay to NOT feel guilty that you can’t do all the things because you’re focusing on what’s truly important.----------------------------------------------As a Creator mum your sentence is: "Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution"; Albert Einstein.----------------------------------------Here are the 3 pillars of the 21st Century Mum!

Nothing stops you from encouraging your child to explore things that seem difficult to them. You love:Spending time chatting to your children about the challenges they may be facing;Putting them to bed as long as the moment is shared to learn something new or reading a book together!You love dinner time and a good conversation makes it even more fun!Spending alone time with them as you believe there is more time to brainstorm ideasYou don't mind doing homework with them and you absolutely love it when they get excited about it too!You like the challenge and it fulfils you to see their progress. When you take your children to activities, it is important for you to see that they make the most of it. Spending time with them is even more enjoyeable when you feel that that time was spent learning something new and even more so if you are able to contribute to the moment by sharing your knowledge.That is why you should prioritise:1-1 time and alone time with them so that you can teach them what you believe is important.Not feeling guilty for choosing to spend time with them doing things that have a sense of achievement over things that you might consider being a waste of time such as driving them around to their next activity.As a mentor mum, you will enjoy challenging questions and will crave for them to ask for your advise. Baby phase might not be your favorite phase of child development!Know that you might feel fustrated doing things that might not feel like the kids are improving.
