Building a Vision Beyond Motherhood with Danielle LaShawn
In a lively conversation with Jacqueline, Danielle LaShawn, a mom of four, author, content creator, and full-time employee shares her experiences of motherhood and self-transformation. Danielle emphasises the importance of maintaining personal identity and fulfilling individualistic goals alongside motherhood - a principal topic in her book 'Make a Deposit'. She explains the concept of identifying 'deposits' or small consistent actions that make significant impacts over time and keeps the individual enriched and motivated. Given the demands of motherhood, she advises on curating daily activities to ensure one's happiness and achievement, which indirectly benefits the family too. Transforming her journey and understanding to her widely acknowledged book presented an opportunity to connect with mothers who lost their identities to become mothers and help them reclaim their individualism.00:00 Introduction and Guest Welcome00:15 Getting to Know the Guest: Danielle's Background01:11 Unveiling Danielle's Book and Its Core Concept03:04 Understanding the Impact of Daily Choices03:20 The Power of Vision and Consistency05:21 The Importance of Self-Identity in Motherhood05:47 The Role of Structure and Balance in Achieving Goals10:11 Overcoming Mom Guilt and Embracing Individuality13:58 The Impact of Daily Choices on Relationships16:22 The Evolution of Motherhood and Personal Growth19:24 The Power of Positive Consumption and Self-Discovery27:05 Final Thoughts and Advice: Just Get Started28:04 Connecting with Danielle and Conclusion• Danielle's YouTube Channel, website, and book • Join the Motherhood Intended Community• Follow @motherhood_intended on Instagram• Leave a review for the podcast• Apply to be a guest on the showStruggling to conceive?
