Before the brunches, greeting cards, and bouquets, Mother’s Day was born from a deeper purpose—unity, peace, and the enduring power of maternal love. In this heartfelt episode of Pulse of The Bluff, we trace the rich, complex history of Mother’s Day, from ancient goddess festivals to the visionary work of Ann Reeves Jarvis and her daughter Anna Jarvis, who fought for the holiday’s official recognition.

Discover the global roots, the social justice origins, and the surprising twist of commercialization that left the founder disillusioned. Learn how Mother's Day was once about reconciliation after war, and why its true spirit remains as powerful today as ever.

Key highlights:

  • The role of motherhood through history

  • The activism of Ann Reeves Jarvis & Anna Jarvis

  • The impact of commercialization on a heartfelt tradition

  • Mother’s Day traditions around the world
