There is no doubt that distractions can be beneficial sometimes, especially when we need a moment or two to steer our attention away from something that’s uncomfortable, stressful, or unexpected in our lives. But, depending on the distraction can teeter into the realm of unhelpful or "unhealthy" if relied on too heavily or too frequently.

It was Mother’s Day in the US yesterday (happy Mother’s Day to our Mighty moms! 💐). While it’s a day of celebration, it can also be a day of reflection that brings up a plethora of emotions — from joy, to grief, to sadness, to longing.

From your experiences and perspective, what does motherhood mean to you, whether you’re a mother yourself or reflecting on the mothers and nurturing role models in your life?
