Facing unexpected triggers that come with being a first-time mom is no easy feat. Danielle has a way of making you feel seen for the human you are, giving you gentle support to implement easy strategies and integrate them into everyday activity. Her expertise in mindfulness practices and early intervention as an occupational therapy clinician give you the balance needed to combine self-care and child-rearing. All mommas can return to these simple strategies, even when your babe is older. You are not alone on this momma journey with Danielle's wisdom in hand. --Alexis Joelle, occupational therapist, momma, and founder of Confident OT Life Academy I feel so seen after reading this book, and equally bummed that it didn't exist when I needed it most in those first few months of motherhood. Even though my kids are now 4 and 6 years old, I still 100% relate to the challenges regarding the mental load of motherhood and the need to control my emotional responses. The tools and techniques that Danielle shares have helped me work through those moments! I can't wait to give this book to all the new moms in my life, because there certainly needs to be more advocacy, acceptance, and assistance when it comes to maternal mental health. --Meghan Fox, occupational therapist and owner of WooTherapy, creator of WooTape, wootherapy.com This is the book every millennial mom needs in her toolbox! Danielle offers a truly refreshing lens, where she finally says what most parenting books and experts try to hide with sparkles and rose-colored glasses: motherhood is hard, and some days, it can feel impossible. She does an amazing job of letting us feel valid and seen with those feelings, and giving us valuable tools to work through them in a practical, doable way. --Laura Petix, MS, OTR/L, CEO and founder of The OT Butterfly, LLC
