Questions to ask yourself:How am I speaking to myself? Out loud and internally?
What does this situation or dynamic remind me of?
Where in my life can I receive more support?
What in my life feels off or heightened?
How do I want my life to feel?
Where I am looking for external validation?
In today's solo episode I am sharing with you a little behind the scenes of a very in process self-discovery I've had in regards to business and pivoting and co-creating a beautiful life.
If you're anything like me you often crave newness and expansion, independence and freedom. But does that mean we always have to burn everything we've grown to the ground in order to experience the excitement and newness we're chasing? I'm learning maybe not!
Come on in. The water's fine. Let's dig through this, together.

Carla Bertogg shares the in's and out's of her Intuitive Pregnancy. Carla chose consciously at age 39 to have a child with her husband where they share a 19 year age gap. She never thought she wanted children until her late thirties where the call to become a mother was so clearly communicated with her.
She talks about her 500 year old home that her husband renovated. She talks about communal living, growing up and continuing to live in Switzerland, her many travels alone and with her husband and daughter, and so much more.
This is an inspiring conversation that is here to support you in advocating for yourself always and letting your intuition guide the way in every aspect of life. If you've been worried about whether or not you're "too old" to have a child or you know someone who is in this place, this episode is for you. This is also a perfect episode for simply learning about more alternative ways of moving through pregnancy and supporting those who do things differently.

In today's solo episode Dani takes you back to the very beginning where her relationship to money began, in utero. She invites us all to look at the beliefs we picked up when we were young closely and with compassion. This is a candid story of pain and shame around money, one that eventually moves into a place of grounded peace and empowerment.
You'll go on a journey through her adolescent years of stealing, getting scolded by a police officer, and continuing to steal even more; a painful pattern that eventually became a deep family wound that has since (thankfully) healed. She talks about the moment when she started to see her dysfunctional patterning and began navigating where it came from. She talks about her first healthy financial decision and the ripply effect that has had on her relationship to money (and love) today.
She talks about the lightbulb moment she had around the connection to money and her relationship; the deep rooted fear that it will all just go away. You will walk away with actionable steps on how you can completely shift your relationship with money, your relationships, and ultimately, yourself.
If you've ever felt hopeless, ashamed, and messy in your relationship with money, this episode is for you. Because if she can come to a place of higher self-worth and peace with money, she believes anybody can, all just by doing a little bit of digging.

Two years ago when Nache Snow interviewed me for her podcast Studio 78, I was barely aware of my white privilege. Being someone who hasn’t had to face the kinds of systemic road blocks that are thrown up for so many people just trying to live their best lives, I took her words for granted. And I want to revisit it now because now I am becoming more aware of my white privilege and I want to honor her gracious support, encouragement and friendship. Because she matters.
Today I am bringing you a throwback episode from the Studio 78 Podcast where Nache Snow interviews me! You’ll get to hear about where I was almost three years ago as I was just beginning my company. We talk about finding your happy, pivoting, and so much more.
All of that aside, Nache is such an incredible resource and mentor and I can’t wait for you to get to know her and love her like I do.

In today’s solo episode, Dani talks about punching herself in the face, about being a suicidal yoga teacher, and about punching herself in the face and then going to teach a yoga class, like yuh do! But really, Dani talks candidly about her experiences with suicidal thoughts during some of the hardest of times and she’s also found ways to weave humor into the more challenging parts of being a human.
(NOTE. This episode is not turning something as painful as suicide into a joke. Suicide is NOT funny as so many of us have lost people we love because of it. Any of the humor inside of this episode is because of Dani’s experience and her’s alone with suicidal thoughts. So again, suicide is NOT funny. Being a human is though.)
Dani also shares healing modalities that she found incredibly supportive during these times; practicing yoga + teaching yoga being number 1! She talks about the importance of creating a support system of people who you love and trust and who you can open up to about what you are experiencing.
Her intention with this episode is to leave you feeling less alone in the lowest of lows that so many of us experience but never talk about.
Without further ado, let’s move on to the show!

A perfect opportunity and practice of self-advocating and knowing what you can and cannot see today⎜⎜⎜
Today Dani interviews Lauren Bielenberg; a yoga teacher who’s passion lies within helping people reconnect to their bodies with compassion and tenderness. Lauren shares about her experience in healing with Orthorexia and is now opening up about her recovery process in hopes that she can make others feel less alone in the darkness of disordered eating.
She wants to bring awareness and light to this very common mental illness and wants to empower and inspire individuals struggling to see while it may not be easy, there is so much hope. She talks candidly about how she began her excessive exercise routine and how her body let her know she needed to slow down. We talked about her transition from personal training to becoming a yoga teacher and we also talked about how she weaves in so much softness and love into her yoga teaching.
