"There's no way to be a perfect mother and a million ways to be a good one."- Jill Churchill

LESSONS FROM MOM is a tribute to the women who loved us, hurt us, lifted us, and taught us. Sometimes, without even knowing they were teaching at all.

In these raw and unforgettable stories, thirteen courageous women open their hearts to reveal the profound impact their mothers had on their lives. Through triumphs, struggles, heartbreak, and healing, they reflect on the lessons that have shaped who they are and who they aspire to become.

These are stories of strength and survival. Of unconditional love and impossible loss. Of forgiveness, resilience, and the complicated, beautiful truth of mother and child relationships.

Each story is a reminder that even the most difficult or loving journeys can offer wisdom, and that sometimes, the most powerful lessons come wrapped in both pain and grace.

LESSONS FROM MOM will move you, inspire you, and help you see your mother and yourself in a new light.
