As a mother of three, a medical professional, and a passionate advocate for women’s health, Dr. Nicole Saphier has built a successful career while balancing the challenges of motherhood. Now, she’s channeling her experiences into a deeply personal new book, “Love, Mom: Inspiring Stories Celebrating Motherhood,” just in time for Mother’s Day. The book, published by Fox News Books, offers a heartfelt collection of essays, memories, and reflections from Saphier herself, along with contributions from fellow mothers, colleagues, and fans who share their unique experiences of motherhood.

A Personal Journey: From Teen Mom to Medical Professional

Saphier opens the book with her own powerful story. She recounts how she became a mother as a teenager, facing the challenges of raising her son, Nick, while also pursuing a rigorous medical career. Saphier was determined not to let her new role as a young mother stand in the way of her dreams, and she carried Nick with her through medical school. She recalls her first day of residency, which coincided with Nick’s first day of first grade—a reminder of how life’s demands don’t always fit neatly into a schedule, but how those sacrifices are made with love and determination.

Now that Nick is in college, and Saphier has two additional sons, she reflects on the lessons she’s learned over the years. One of the key takeaways she offers to her readers (and to her younger self) is the importance of not trying to be everything at once. She writes: “When I’m in the hospital, I try not to think about my son’s upcoming soccer game; that’s not fair to my patients. When I’m at my son’s instrumental concert, I try not to look at biopsy results on my phone, because that’s also not fair. Everything has a time and a place.”

Saphier’s candid reflections serve as both a personal narrative and a broader message to working mothers who juggle professional responsibilities with family life.

Contributions from Other Fox Moms

Alongside Saphier’s own story, “Love, Mom” features contributions from other influential Fox News personalities, including Kayleigh McEnany, Janice Dean, Sandra Smith, Martha MacCallum, and Carley Shimkus, each sharing their own experiences of motherhood.

McEnany, who served as White House Press Secretary under President Trump, shares her journey of having children after undergoing a preventive mastectomy in 2018 due to a positive BRCA 2 mutation. She writes about the challenges of balancing her pregnancies with the pressures of the 2020 presidential campaign and her newfound role as a working mom. Her insight: “There will always be another task, another impossible deadline. My children are my biggest blessing and gift, and time slips away too fast. I don’t want to miss a minute of it.”

These stories—raw, real, and relatable—serve as a powerful reminder of the strength and resilience of mothers everywhere.

Vignettes from Fans: The Universal Experience of Motherhood

In addition to these famous voices, “Love, Mom” includes heartfelt vignettes from Fox News viewers who share their own personal reflections on their mothers. One viewer, Sandra Champlain, writes a touching tribute to her mother, Marion: “Mom doesn’t see herself as anything important. But I know—and everyone who meets her knows, too—that she is a uniquely intuitive, insightful, caring, generous, loving person. She’s amazing, and she is my best friend.”

This inclusion of fans’ stories highlights the universal experience of motherhood. It serves as a reminder that while each mother’s journey is unique, the love, sacrifices, and challenges are shared by millions of women across the world.

A Message of Support: Never Alone in the Struggle

Throughout the book, Saphier and her contributors offer an essential message: despite the frustrations, exhaustion, and challenges that come with motherhood, one of the most powerful gifts a mother can receive is the reminder that she is not alone. The shared experience of being a mother is both beautiful and demanding, but it’s also a source of deep connection with others who understand.

As Saphier writes, “Love, Mom” is about celebrating the incredible strength and resilience of mothers while acknowledging the very real struggles they face. In a world that often demands perfection from mothers, this book is an act of grace—a reminder that all moms need is support, encouragement, and a reminder of the importance of their role.
