Special Edition: Women Empowerment Jams - Summer 2021

If Mothers Ran the World There Would Be No War

In this episode designed to empower and encourage, Kelly talks about what it would mean if mothers ran the world. We look at cultures where women and mothers traditionally lead and talk about how after making, growing and keeping alive another human, you are less likely to send a child to war. We talk about the power of women to “break the script” of the status quo and how it’s time that people with pro-social, pro-future, pro-collective good perspectives were catapulted into decision-making and leadership positions. 

Quotes mentioned in the episode:
“I am sure that if the mothers of various nations could meet, there would be no more wars.”
- E. M. Forster

I do honestly think that if women were running the world there would be more investment in peace, because basically as women we do not want to see our children killed. Maybe I am completely idealistic, but until we see women in equal positions of power in the world, I just think that we are doomed.”
- Meryl Streep

“If men cannot get along without the shedding of blood and putting the knife to the throat of a brother, let them no longer set themselves up as guides and rulers but confess their self-evident insufficiency and turn the management of affairs over to the mothers who will temper their justice with love and enthrone mercy on the highways.”
- Mary Elizabeth Lease

Mothers and others: let’s celebrate ALL the nurturers 

There are many beautiful ways to create, nurture and mother. With Mother’s Day upon us, let’s celebrate all the nurturers - the mothers, the Aunties, the neighbours and friends that give love and allow us to survive and thrive! And as we do, let’s expand our definition of mothering as we understand the immense value of creating, nurturing and supporting each other!
Mad Mega Love to all the nurturers out there! Thank you!
