In this honest and deeply relatable episode of You're the Mom, Dr. Laura Le is joined by Danae Crume, a licensed therapist and executive director of TheraPride Counseling & Wellness, 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.
