Do you ever feel like you’ve lost parts of yourself since becoming a mom? Like you’re constantly measuring yourself against an impossible standard?

In this honest and encouraging episode, Danielle sits down with parenting coach and mom of four, Nellie Harden, to talk about identity, self-worth, and the toxic trap of comparison in motherhood.

Together, they explore:

  • Why so many moms struggle to recognize themselves after having a baby
  • The ways comparison shows up in motherhood—and how to break free from it
  • Simple steps to start rediscovering your unique voice, values, and vision (without guilt)
  • and so much more...

This conversation is a breath of fresh air for any mom feeling lost, stuck, or overwhelmed trying to live up to everyone else’s highlight reel.

🎧 Tune in now to rediscover your identity and start showing up for motherhood—and yourself—with confidence and clarity.
