What if the exhaustion you feel in motherhood… isn’t because you’re doingit wrong—but because you’ve lost yourself along the way?

In this conversation, Diane sits down with Scottie Durrett, host of the Momplex podcast, to explore the emotional landscape of motherhood—the parts we don’t often say out loud.

The pressure to get it right.
The quiet guilt many moms carry.
The way we slowly disconnect from ourselves while trying to hold everything together.

Scottie shares her powerful “laundry basket moment”—the moment she realized the life she was living was no longer sustainable.

Together, Diane and Scottie explore what it really means to move from surviving motherhood to thriving in it—not by doing more, but by reconnecting with yourself.

Because when a mother reconnects with herself… everything in the family begins to shift.

In this episode, we explore:

* The invisible pressure mothers carry to “get it right”

* Why guilt is so present in motherhood—and what it’s trying to tell us

* How disconnection from self happens (without us even realizing it)

* Scottie’s “laundry basket moment” and the wake-up call it created

* The difference between surviving and truly thriving in motherhood

*Why your connection to yourself is the foundation for connection in your family
