Her View From Home Featured Article: Motherhood and Teacups Aren’t Meant to Be Perfect

Written By Larissa Darter

Blending my three greatest passions—mental health, faith, and motherhood—has become one of the greatest joys of my calling. Whether through speaking or writing, I find deep purpose in encouraging women right where they are.

Writing has always been a sacred space for me—a creative outlet I’ve loved since childhood, and now a meaningful way to connect with moms navigating the tension between grace and growth.

I’d love to invite you to read a recent article I wrote, featured by Her View From Home. It’s a personal reflection on motherhood, shaped by the real, raw moments that have grown me the most.

Because here’s the truth: people often learn more from our struggles than our victories.

That’s why I also chose to write Prosper in Motherhood—a book woven with my own stories, missteps, and hard-won lessons. It’s not a guide from someone who has it all figured out, but a companion for moms who want to walk in grace, healing, and joy.

You can find the book now on Amazon.

“Because in the end, motherhood is not about preserving perfection—it’s about embracing the beauty that emerges from the broken.”
