About this episode
Danielle Sylvester’s journey into motherhood was anything but traditional. Pregnant at 17 by a 29-year-old, she was fully set on giving her baby up for adoption—until one life-changing moment in the hospital. From working as a stripper as a minor to selling pills at the club, Danielle opens up about her past, the struggles of young motherhood, and how she turned it all around. We dive into everything: her complicated relationship with Thyri’s father, the night she accidentally left her daughter in the car, and how she became TikTok’s favorite mom.
