You’re Not Crazy — Motherhood Is: Holding the Both/And of Motherhood with Danae Crume

Together, they dive into the raw and often unspoken challenges of modern motherhood—from anxiety and burnout to perfectionism, comparison, and the pressure to “bounce back.”Danae shares her own motherhood journey, the impact of raising twice-exceptional children, and why so many moms feel like they’re silently failing. Learn about the signs that it’s time to seek support, the power of self-compassion, and how to reframe motherhood as both brutal and beautiful. They explore how generational patterns, social media, and internal dialogue contribute to maternal mental health—and what you can actually do about it.If you've ever wondered if you're the only one who feels overwhelmed, exhausted, or not enough—this episode is for you.🎧 Topics we cover:Why moms feel alone (even when they’re not)ADHD, anxiety, and trauma in motherhoodHow shame and comparison keep moms stuckThe both/and of motherhood: beautiful and brutalHow to tell if you're struggling vs. needing deeper supportDaily tools: mindfulness, breathwork, journaling & more🔗 Resources Mentioned:Kristin Neff’s self-compassion tools: selfcompassion.orgThe Gifts of Imperfection by Brené Brown📍 Connect with Danae Crume at TheraPride Counseling & Wellness✨ Connect + Explore More 📖 Check out my book Postpartum Reimagined and online birth course → ⁠www.drlaurale.com⁠ 📓 Grab the 90-Day Mindfulness Prayer Journal for Moms → ⁠https://a.co/d/cDYGyFU⁠🛍️ Shop my favorite wellness tools + affiliate picks → ⁠stan.store/bestlifechiro⁠ 📲 Instagram: ⁠@dr.laurale_⁠ | TikTok: ⁠@dr.laura.le⁠👉 Subscribe, leave a review, and share this episode with a fellow mom who needs encouragement today!
