In an interview with The Tot, Daphne shared her motherhood philosophy, “I think it’s so important for us to remember that we are still women after we become mothers. We’re still allowed to love the things we used to love and be the people we used to be, even though all our priorities have shifted now that we are the upgraded 2.0 version of ourselves. This is the real juggling act of motherhood: how do we meet the needs of everyone who relies on us and take care of ourselves too? The happiest kids have happy parents to show them how it’s done”
In her spare time when she is not running after the kids or spending quality time with her husband, she likes to workout. The workouts she enjoys the most are Dance Body and Soul Cycle because it allows her to check out and not even remember that she is exercising.
