In the chaos of new motherhood, we often overlook ourselves. We forget just how important it is for us to show up as our best selves - how much our babies need US to heal so we can truly be there for them.

So today, I want to share some of my tips and insights on how to accelerate your postpartum healing and find your peace again.

In honor of all of the amazing mamas out there, today I want to share my 5 biggest lessons of motherhood so far.

Motherhood is a journey. It challenges your beliefs, your understanding of yourself and your ability to grow even when you are more tired than you’ve ever been before.

The insights I’m sharing with you today are mindset shifts in how I think about my child, my role in her life and my own aspirations in life. Our minds can be our greatest tool or our greatest hurdle - and they can be both at the same time. Here are some of the ways I use my mindset to support my motherhood journey.I hope that these insights offer you some tools and perspective shifts that support you as well.

Welcome to today's episode of What We Tell Our Daughters! Today, it's just you and me and the story of giving birth in a Portuguese Public Hospital.

This is the story of a woman who had every intention of having a home water birth, in our beautiful peaceful room, with snacks, my amazing midwives, and my husband by my side. Life had very different plans for me - in fact the complete opposite of what I had hoped for.

I share this story to help you understand what the Portuguese Public Hospital system is like for pregnant women. I share my to-dos and not-to-dos and what I would do differently if I were to do it all again.

If you're a mother, an aspiring mother, or have any children in your life - whether it's a niece, a neighbor, or a friend - this show is for you!

In this very first episode of What We Tell Our Daughters, I dive into the idea that hormones run the show of your body. They impact our experience of life and our perception of what it is like to be US. I will go to bat for the idea that most women don't truly even know what it feels like to be them because their hormones have been masked or out of balance for so long. I'll also share how this show came to be and why I'm so passionate about sharing this message with you and the world! If you're a mother, an aspiring mother, or have any children in your life - whether it's a niece, a neighbor or a friend - this show is for you!

Welcome to What We Tell Our Daughters!

Our collective daughters... the future women of the world. So no - you don't need to be a mother to enjoy this show.

Join Danya, your host, a mother, a digital nomad, and a functional medicine practitioner as she seeks to answer this question:

"What are the most important things to share with our daughters? How will we guide them through the world?"

Each week we'll dive into the topics of women's health, hormones, health advocacy, and most importantly - creating life on our terms.

Because how can we guide our daughters if don't truly understand ourselves?
