That Twin Mama Podcast

Motherhood changes everything—your body, your boundaries, your belief in yourself. This week I sat down with my wildly talented friend Daniella Rabbani — actor, creator, mom of two, and host of Mom Curious. In this episode, we have a raw and layered conversation about what it means to come undone in motherhood… and then slowly, steadily, put yourself back together again. Daniella opens up about filming Oceans 8 while eight months pregnant (yes, she opens the movie with Sandra Bullock!), finding her voice in both motherhood and creativity, and navigating the deep work of raising kids while healing herself. We talk gentle parenting, mom rage, generational patterns, and why sometimes the most radical thing we can do is say, “I don’t know—but I’m showing up anyway.” We get into: Why her firstborn “opened the matrix” for her—and what shifted with her daughter Breaking generational cycles without breaking yourself Gentle parenting vs. actually parenting—what happens when the kids don’t listen? Why our kids chose us (and what that means for how we show up) “Parenting teaches you more about yourself than anything else. Sometimes I like what I see, sometimes I don’t. And that’s the work.” 📣 Listen if you’re: Trying to parent differently than you were raised Feeling stretched thin and wondering if you’re still “you” In a season of rebuilding—creatively, emotionally, spiritually Curious what happens when motherhood becomes your greatest teacher ✨ Mentioned: Daniella’s podcast Mom Curious https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/mom-curious/id1602585064 The Better Sister (her latest show!) https://amzn.to/3GfG62g Her iconic Ocean’s 8 scene! https://www.instagram.com/p/C2-bDzyuRyV/ Lauren and Daniella at the Doula Expo https://youtu.be/sAKIR5o_cAk?si=fHIzn7O7CHXEbNpT Stay Connected: Be sure to subscribe for more candid conversations on parenting, relationships, and life with multiples.

Okay, so… I got my boobs done. Not implants. I got a breast reduction—and in this episode, I’m walking you through everything: the emotional backstory, the wild insurance hurdles, the drains (ugh), the Hooters farewell tour, and why I would do it again in a heartbeat. From being the first girl in fourth grade told to wear a bra to breastfeeding three kids, this has been a long time coming. I share what pushed me to finally do it, how I chose my surgeon, and all the things no one really preps you for when it comes to healing and reclaiming your body. We talk about: Growing up with big boobs and feeling hyper-visible from a young age Why this felt like a personal and physical reclamation—not just a cosmetic decision The continued struggles with health insurance coverage How painful and weirdly humbling recovery really is (have you ever tried showering without raising your arms?!) Shower hacks, pain meds, body image shifts, and parenting while healing Answering your DMs about cost, implants vs. reductions, and explaining it all to your kids Why running out of Hooters in slow motion should honestly be an Oscar-nominated short film (someone call Pamela Anderson and ask her how she survived Baywatch beach runs!) This episode is for the girls who’ve ever wanted to feel more at home in their body—and the ones Googling “can you sleep without a bra?” because same. 👀 MENTIONED: Dr. Victoria Suh in Fairfax, VA https://www.victoriacosmeticsurgery.com/ My viral Hooters farewell video https://www.instagram.com/p/DGLgaEmJMzZ/ Post-op items I wish I’d known about before surgery https://amzn.to/442OPh6 💬 If you’re thinking about a reduction… You don’t owe anyone an explanation. Not the internet, not your cousin, not some guy named Henry from Norfolk. 🙃 But if you want the story, this is mine—and I hope it helps you feel more prepared, informed, and supported (pun intended). 🎧 Listen in, share with a friend, and tag @thattwinmamapodcast if this episode hits home. “I’ve had boobs since I was nine.
