The 3 influencers who tell the truth about being a woman and a mother
Are you about to become a mother and the idea of childbirth as well as that of motherhood in general terrify you? Quiet, although many want to convince you otherwise, everything is normal. Giving birth to a new life can be extraordinary but also traumatic, especially for women. The completely deformed body, lack of free time, sleepless nights are part of the complete package and it is fair to talk about it to normalize even the darker sides of pregnancy and postpartum. If you are tired of the rhetoric that has hovered around motherhood for years, sold everywhere as the best experience a woman can have, then we recommend that you follow three famous mothers who think exactly like you: Julia Elle from "Desperately Mom", the top model Ashley Graham and last but not least Alice Mangione, the explosive mother of “The Pozzoli's Family”. After taking a ride on their social pages, you will immediately feel understood and relieved, both as a mother and as a woman!
Julia Elle - Desperately mom
Turin by birth, Irish by adoption and, for years now, living in Brianza, Julia Elle is one of the most loved and followed mothers-bloggers in Italy. On Instagram, in fact, she has more than 570 thousand followers and in bookstores she is present with 4 books, the last of which published in 2020. At 25, Julia becomes pregnant with the beautiful Chloe, a news that completely distorts her life and that - alas - forces her to give up her greatest passion: singing. The record company she works for, in fact, does not renew her contract and the girl finds herself unemployed and with a small child to raise alone. Julia's love life is also quite turbulent. Despite this, this young woman is determined to make it and, with the awareness that we are the only architects of our destiny, she rolls up her sleeves and decides to reinvent herself. And that's how in 2016, when in the meantime she also gave birth to little Chris, she was born "desperately mamma ", an Instagram profile in which Julia talks about parenting in a direct, ironic and funny way, highlighting even the darkest aspects of this extraordinary experience and addressing delicate and often taboo subjects such as infertility. Tiredness, stress, the difficulty in taking even a simple shower, these are just some of the problems that this desperate mother highlights through videos and posts in which many other mothers recognize themselves and find comfort. Today Julia is expecting her third daughter and explains what prompted her to want to share content like hers:
“Nothing has changed me the way my children have changed me. No one had told me what it would be like, and that I would have to accept it. Nobody told me a lot of things. So now I'd like to tell you! Because it is right for someone to say. That is hard. A lot. But also that it's worth it. All time".
Ashley Graham

This force of nature, in fact, specializes in the discipline of internet truth and does not hide behind the glossy image that everyone would expect from a celebrity of his caliber. On the contrary, between a shooting and a catwalk, she tells us what it really means to be women and mothers, with all the ups and downs associated with it. Scrolling through her Instagram profile you will not only find designer clothes and luxurious holidays, but also many selfies in the company of the breast pump, photos of stretch marks and stories that tell the many difficulties related to motherhood, such as the sense of guilt felt every time you go to the work or mischievous looks that prevent you from breastfeeding your little one in public. Ashley Graham, in fact, already the mother of little Ervin (1 year and a half) and today expecting her second child, is not afraid to show herself vulnerable and, realizing how many other women have already lived or still live the same hardships, has understood that I wanted to represent a point of reference for all of them and for future generations, telling those bitter truths that no one has ever had the courage to admit before about pregnancy and motherhood.
