The Mother Chapter

June 10, 2025

The Mother Chapter is a community dedicated to helping moms navigate, cope, connect, share and thrive in their postpartum identity.Here are some selected quotes, but please check out the full article!

"The strength it took to walk away from that first engagement is the same strength I now bring to motherhood, every single day. I refuse to accept others’ “must-dos” or arbitrary timelines. No more trying to impress or shrinking to fit in for the sake of expectations. Just the courage to stand by my decisions and unapologetically be the mom I want to be."  

"For years, I chased some imagined ideal and tried to be the perfect daughter, woman, and partner. But perfection is a myth, and pursuing it only kept me small. To walk away from my engagement, I had to embrace all of my flaws. 

Now, motherhood demands that I let the cracks show. That I model resilience, not flawlessness. So I continue the daily practice of softening, of showing up as I am. I may not be perfect, but I’m present. And that is more than enough."

"Now, when I show up for my daughter, with all my imperfections and absolutely all my love, I know exactly where my strength comes from. I trust myself. And that trust is the legacy I’m passing on."

“Before starting a family, it was important to me that I knew myself, first and foremost,” she tells Parents.

Feeling more grounded in herself has paid off in terms of her parenting, says Woller. “I feel more confident in my ability to parent intuitively, remain patient, and block out distractions and trending advice from the outside world,” she says. “I feel deeply satisfied in my commitment to my daughter and my family, while also knowing the value in simultaneously prioritizing my own well-being, without guilt.”
