  • DANIELLE PEAZER: Navigating Identity as a New Mum
    Jul 28 2025

    🔍 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
    • How Danielle is navigating her identity as a first-time mum
    • What it’s like putting motherhood before career — and figuring it all out in real time
    • How she and her partner juggle parenting, work, and support
    • Why friendships can shift in motherhood — and why it's normal to grieve your old life

    In this episode of the CEO MUM Podcast, host Jada Sezer sits down with Danielle Peazer — creator, former pro dancer, and now first-time mum for an honest and heartfelt conversation about the quiet but powerful transformation that happens when you become a mother.


    Danielle opens up about the identity shift she’s experienced since having her daughter Mia, and how she’s navigating life, career, and purpose with a whole new perspective; one that places motherhood at the centre. She shares how she and her partner are figuring it out together and the practical help they lean on.


    They also get candid about friendships; how some have deepened, others have faded, and how motherhood can leave you feeling unseen even when you're surrounded by people. Danielle shares how she’s learned that sometimes, you’re not asking to be included... you just want to be remembered.


    Finally, Danielle opens up about her decision to freeze her eggs while she was single, the judgment she faced, and how she’s found peace and power in doing what’s right for her, regardless of outside noise.


    This is a raw, real, and deeply relatable conversation for anyone in the thick of transition, navigating uncertainty, or redefining what it means to be a woman, a mother, and still yourself.
