Mother’s Day isn’t just about cards, brunch, or bouquets. It’s about reflection. It’s about honoring the stories that shaped you – and choosing how you want to be remembered. Whether you’re a mom, grandmother, mentor, or nurturing soul in someone’s life, you have a legacy worth celebrating.
Here’s how to slow down, zoom in on your life’s story, and define the mark you’re making– starting now.
1. Reflect on Your Journey 🌿
Your legacy isn’t just the big moments – it’s the quiet strength, the resilience, and the pivots no one saw coming.
For me, it meant stepping away from a 30+ year corporate career, letting go of titles, and asking: Who am I now? It’s taken years – and plenty of fizz – to answer that. But what I’ve learned is this: Your legacy starts the moment you decide to live intentionally.
Prompt:
What moments shaped the woman you are today?
What did you survive that you once thought might break you?
2. Share Your Story 📖
Your story can be someone else’s survival guide. But we often wait too long – until everything feels polished and perfect – to share it.
I’ve realized that my most meaningful connections come when I speak honestly about the messy middle: reinvention after retirement, finding love at 50, raising four daughters, letting go of expectations, and rewriting my own rules.
Prompt:
Who needs to hear the real version of your story – today?
Could you write them a letter, record a voice memo, or even just sit down and talk?

3. Honor Your Legacy Through Action 💞
Legacy isn’t just what we leave behind – it’s how we live right now.
Are you modeling rest, boundaries, or joy? Are you choosing growth, even in later chapters?
When I started Find Your Fizz, it wasn’t about building a business – it was about choosing freedom over burnout, and empowering other women to do the same. Your actions – small and steady – can speak volumes.
Prompt:
What do you want your days to say about you?
Where can you shift from “should” to soul-aligned action?
4. Embrace the Spirit of Mother’s Day 💐
This day can bring joy, grief, reflection, or all three.
If you’re a mom: give yourself credit for the unseen labor, the long nights, and the choices no one else understood.
If you’ve mothered others in love or leadership, you’ve left fingerprints on hearts that will never forget you.
And if this day feels complicated? You’re not alone.
Motherhood is not one-size-fits-all – and your legacy doesn’t have to be either.
Prompt:
How do you want to be remembered – not just as a mother, but as you?
What would your younger self be proud of today?
Final Thoughts 💫
Your legacy is already unfolding – in every laugh, every boundary, every truth you choose to speak aloud.
So, this Mother’s Day, celebrate you. The full story. The woman behind the roles.
The one who’s still growing, still learning, still lighting the way.
Because your fizz?
It’s not fading.
It’s just getting started.
