"Kicking off by explaining to listeners that her family "has had to make so many adjustments" to their daily life for the show, Danielle shared: "I used to regularly pick both of [my kids] up from school, take them to karate, take them to baseball. On the weekends, I was always at their baseball games, and we could have playdates, and we would do movie nights, and now... I just haven't really been able to be as present.""
""I felt really good being able to be like: 'Wow, it's such a relief to not have all this day-to-day constant house pressure, like, taking care of the house pressure, taking care of the kids pressure," she continued. "What a selfish, but selfish in a great way, thing I've been able to do. What a gift that I've been able to focus on this, and it's been just about me, and it's felt really good, and everyone was doing really great, Jensen was loving it.""
Danielle Fishel, 44, shares a 6-year-old son, Adler, and a 4-year-old daughter, Keaton, with husband Jensen Karp. A podcast episode recorded before her elimination from Dancing With the Stars described major family adjustments due to her prolonged absence. Adler struggled with the change, reportedly telling his teacher his mother was dead and begging her to quit the show. Fishel described reduced involvement in daily activities, feeling relieved and grateful for the opportunity to focus on herself, and noted Jensen's support. Adler had hoped she would quit after an injury and physically kicked her hand away in the car.
