You know what we need, mamas?
An anthem.
We need a song that we can belt out at the top of our lungs in the shower, at the gym, in the car, or in the middle of the dadgum Target parking lot on days when the tiny people are acting like terrorists. Just a three-to-four-minute stretch of time during which we can gather our thoughts and regain our strength, preferably to a decent beat. Because Lord knows the Kidz Bop just isn’t going to cut it.
So my belated Mother’s Day gift to you is the below power playlist that’s perfect for moms in need of a musical intervention. The list was generated by the female attorneys at my law firm who were asked to name their go-to song for days when they are feeling down and need a reminder that they’re a rock star.
