#84 Daniella Rabbani on Motherhood: How It Breaks You Down—and Builds You Back Up

Motherhood changes everything—your body, your boundaries, your belief in yourself. This week I sat down with my wildly talented friend Daniella Rabbani — actor, creator, mom of two, and host of Mom Curious. In this episode, we have a raw and layered conversation about what it means to come undone in motherhood… and then slowly, steadily, put yourself back together again.Daniella opens up about filming Oceans 8 while eight months pregnant (yes, she opens the movie with Sandra Bullock!), finding her voice in both motherhood and creativity, and navigating the deep work of raising kids while healing herself. We talk gentle parenting, mom rage, generational patterns, and why sometimes the most radical thing we can do is say, “I don’t know—but I’m showing up anyway.”We get into:Why her firstborn “opened the matrix” for her—and what shifted with her daughterBreaking generational cycles without breaking yourselfGentle parenting vs. actually parenting—what happens when the kids don’t listen?Why our kids chose us (and what that means for how we show up)“Parenting teaches you more about yourself than anything else. Sometimes I like what I see, sometimes I don’t. And that’s the work.”📣 Listen if you’re:Trying to parent differently than you were raisedFeeling stretched thin and wondering if you’re still “you”In a season of rebuilding—creatively, emotionally, spirituallyCurious what happens when motherhood becomes your greatest teacher✨ Mentioned:Daniella’s podcast Mom Curious https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/mom-curious/id1602585064 The Better Sister (her latest show!) https://amzn.to/3GfG62g Her iconic Ocean’s 8 scene! https://www.instagram.com/p/C2-bDzyuRyV/ Lauren and Daniella at the Doula Expo https://youtu.be/sAKIR5o_cAk?si=fHIzn7O7CHXEbNpT 📺 Subscribe on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@ThatTwinMamaPodcast/videos🎧 Podcast Website: www.thattwinmama.com/podcast📲 Follow on Instagram: @thattwinmamapodcastCredits:Production: Berty EnterprisesEditing: Nomadic OrcaMusic: Far Eye HousePhoto: Birch ThomasDesign: Erin Fox CreativeAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
