Stephanie told The Huffington Post she hopes other moms and moms-to-be will find comfort in the movement. “I would like the #SoGladTheyToldMe movement to be a positive step in changing the larger conversations we have about motherhood; I am optimistic that it will present a broader, more realistic, and more balanced image of motherhood so that women will feel less inadequate, adversarial, and isolated.”
