Before becoming a mum, Danny and her husband were living life to the fullest—careers they loved, a buzzing social life, friends, parties, and the kind of freedom you don’t realise you have until it’s gone. But nothing could have prepared her for the profound shift that motherhood would bring.
Danny’s experience of becoming a mum was not just life-changing—it was earth-shattering. A deeply traumatic birth left her with PTSD, and the emotional intensity of motherhood hit harder than she ever imagined. She had an unshakable bond with her child, but navigating the rollercoaster of emotions, identity shifts, and the pressure to return to work was overwhelming.
In this episode, we dive into:
🧡 The identity shift that comes with becoming a mum
🧡 The pressure to balance work and family (without losing yourself)
🧡 How to navigate judgment—from others and yourself
🧡 Why self-trust is the key to surviving the chaos
🧡 The emotional impact of parenting decisions and why grace is essential
Whether you’re in the thick of raising little ones, transitioning back to work, or just trying to figure it all out, this conversation is for you.
