Hi! If you've been feeling that pull toward something more, like maybe God's been whispering about using your story to help others… Oh friend, this one's for you.
I'm officially launching something I've been dreaming about for YEARS: a Life Coach Certification and Training Program—and I want to tell you all about it.
In today's episode, I'm sharing:
Why I'm finally doing this (and how this dream went from "too big for me" to "okay God, I trust You")
What makes a phenomenal life coach (spoiler: it's all about asking really good questions that help people find their own answers)
How life coaching changed MY life first before I ever helped anyone else—these tools transformed my own healing journey
Why your story matters and how it's meant for His glory, not your shame
The "why not you?" question that shifted everything for me (your past doesn't define or limit your purpose)
What makes this certification program different and what we'll cover over 6 months together
Details about the training—one-on-one coaching with me, group sessions, practice coaching with real feedback, my signature tools and frameworks, plus an optional in-person retreat celebration
Why I'm only taking 12 people in this first cohort (I want to pour into your well)
Who this might be for—if you feel made for more, called to help people heal, or curious about stepping into your purpose
This is a gentle, heartfelt episode about:
Not despising small beginnings (God works with your mustard seed of faith)
Stepping into what scares you because He equips you
Using the very things that broke you to help others break free
Trusting that your journey—all of it—has prepared you for this
👉 Book Your FREE Discovery Call
If you're feeling called to help others heal, transform, and step into their purpose—and you're ready to explore if life coach training is your next step—let's connect.
Let's explore together if this is your next step. You don't need it all figured out—just bring your open heart and your curiosity.
Schedule Here!
Holiday Reminder: The holidays can be beautiful AND difficult. Make time for yourself and your soul. Remember what this season is about: Jesus being birthed into our lives and all He wants to birth through YOU.
Prayer Request: Pray that God brings the right people to this training and that I steward this opportunity well!

Dani

Hi!
If you’ve been feeling pulled in a thousand directions, overwhelmed by expectations, or stuck in the old habit of people-pleasing… oh friend, this one’s for you.
This week, I had to make a really big decision:
Do I fly to a business retreat in sunny Florida that I’ve been looking forward to for six months…
or do I stay home for my son’s state semifinal football game?
Both were good. Both mattered. And honestly? It sent my nervous system into a spiral.
In today’s episode, I’m sharing:
What it’s like to make decisions when you’re overwhelmed
How I calmed my nervous system enough to hear God clearly
Why we cannot make wise choices from anxiety, guilt, or pressure
How people-pleasing used to run my life (and almost broke me)
A simple, biblical way to connect with your intuition and the Holy Spirit
The exact phrase that finally brought me clarity and peace
Why choosing alignment over approval is spiritual maturity
And how to stop doing “all the things” so you can stay human, whole, and grounded
This is a gentle, practical episode about letting go, honoring your limits, and trusting that God guides you when you get quiet enough to listen.

What if healing isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass… but learning how to find peace while it’s still raining?
While driving down the California coast in a torrential downpour, with full sunshine pouring through the windshield, God gave me a powerful epiphany that changed the way I see healing, peace, and inner resilience.
For years I believed healing meant fixing circumstances, praying away the struggle, or finally getting to an “easier” season. But sometimes the rain doesn’t stop. What can change is our capacity, our perspective, and our ability to hold both suffering and joy at the same time.
This episode is especially for you if you’re tired, overwhelmed, spiritually disconnected, or waiting for life to calm down before you let yourself breathe again.
Scripture:
Hosea 2:15 — “I will make the Valley of Achor a door of hope.”
Joel 2:25 — “I will renew the years the locusts have eaten.”
Song:
“Scars” by I Am They
Quote:
“You can’t change what happened in the past, but you can change how you frame it. We’re offered a range of different lenses: acceptance, forgiveness, and gratitude.”
— Noelle Oxenhandler
If this episode resonated and you’re ready to find peace in the storm, not just after it, I’d love to support you.

Ever feel like you've tried EVERYTHING—therapy, retreats, prayer meetings, all the books—but you're still struggling? This episode reveals what might be the missing piece: integrating your body into the healing process.
👉If you’re tired of feeling lost, unheard, or disconnected from your purpose, AND you’re feeling a pull toward “something more” but can’t seem to find your way there, let’s talk. Schedule a complimentary Discovery Call and we’ll gently explore what’s getting in the way of the life you know you’re meant to live.
Still feeling stuck after prayer, therapy, and all the self-help? You’re not broken, and you’re not alone.
If you’ve ever wondered, “Why do I still feel this way after everything I’ve done?” I hope this episode helps.
Today I’m joined by one of my favorite humans on the planet (and my longtime therapist), Jim Beebe.
Jim’s a wealth of wisdom, life experience and compassion. AND he’s the real deal! I’m so grateful when he shares his time with us on the show! Today we’re talking about my new Coaching program The Third Act, and about why so many of us still feel anxious, overwhelmed, or quietly disconnected on the inside… even though we’ve spent years trying to heal.
We break down the real reasons you might feel stuck, including:
why talk therapy, prayer, and spiritual work can eventually hit a ceiling
how trauma and stress live in the body and nervous system
the triune being: body, mind, and spirit working together
The 3 Acts of your life story, and why so many of us end up circling in Act Two far longer than we need to.
We also dive into what The Third Act really means, and how to step into a more grounded, purposeful, peaceful chapter of your life… one that actually feels like you.
If you’re spiritually-minded, love Jesus, and feel exhausted, invisible, or quietly lost inside (even though your life looks “fine” or even great on the outside), this conversation will bring clarity, compassion, and a deep sense of hope.
👉 Ready for your Third Act? Schedule your complimentary Discovery Call with me here and let’s explore what’s possible for you in this next season.
So grateful you’re here,

Hey friend! Today we’re talking about growing our relationship with our Creator, AND why the phrase "quiet time" makes me cringe and how I learned to connect with God in ways that actually work for who HE made ME to be.
If you've ever felt like you're not doing devotions "right" or that your relationship with God doesn't look like everyone else's, this episode is for YOU.
It's time to let go of the shoulds and discover what actually feeds your soul.
What You'll Learn:
✨ Why traditional "quiet time" doesn't work for everyone (and that's okay!)
💪 What a "spiritual workout" looks like and how to create your own
🏃♀️ How movement, dancing, and even naps can be part of intimacy with God
📖 Permission to skip scriptures that bring shame instead of empowerment
🧠 The mind-body-spirit connection you can't ignore
Key Quotes:
"You may have been your mom's accident, but you are not God's accident. You are here for such a time as this."
"I don't believe my thoughts until I move my body."
"Scripture was meant to empower you. If there are scriptures tearing your soul apart, don't read them right now."
"I'm so exhausted from trying to figure everything out on my own."
My Spiritual Workout Includes:
Gentle morning movement (12-minute circuit)
Brain dumping & intentional journaling
Dancing to worship music
Nature meditation walks (praying and listening prayer)
Sauna time for body + soul
Rest when needed (yes, naps!)

Are you ready to show up as the best version of yourself? Know you need support getting there? Schedule your complimentary call with Dani here.
Ever notice you show up as different versions of yourself depending on who you’re with or what’s going on?
One version feels light and free — the “you” who laughs easily and feels close to God.
Another feels heavy, guarded, or disconnected.
In this episode, I’m sharing how to recognize the versions of you that show up in different seasons — and how to gently choose the one that feels most peaceful, authentic, and you.
You’ll hear:
✨ Why it’s not inauthentic to have different “versions” of yourself
✨ How your environment shapes who shows up
✨ How to spend more time with the version of you that lights you up
✨ A prayer to help you return to peace
This isn’t about doing more. It’s about coming home to who God made you to be.
Much love,
Dani

🐸 THE FROG IN THE KETTLE:
Why do high-achieving, empathetic women (and men) wait until their 50s, 60s, or 70s to find their voice?
Because they're like the frog in boiling water—so adaptable to suffering, they don't realize they deserve better.
This episode explores:
The 3 S's of suffering: Service, Silence, Self-Doubt
Why you self-sabotage when life finally gets good
How to build capacity for joy when you've only known struggle
Why most women don't wake up until midlife (and why that's perfect timing)
If you've spent decades putting everyone else first and finally realized "I'm not even on the totem pole"—this is your wake-up call.
You're not selfish for wanting peace.
You're not too late.
You're right on time.
READY TO STOP BEING THE FROG IN THE KETTLE?
If you want support finding more joy, harmony, and purpose in your next season, schedule a discovery call with Dani here.
So glad you're here,

I just returned from an incredible trip to Ireland, and while I was there, I heard a poem I had to share with you. It’s by Emery Hall, and I believe it will bless you as much as it blessed me.

Do you have big emotional reactions that don't seem to match the situation?
Feel like you're "too broken" to heal?
Maybe you've been telling yourself you're fundamentally damaged when life gets messy.
In this episode, I'm sharing a personal story about having an intense reaction to my husband's playful tickling—and the powerful revelation it sparked about healing and identity.
I’m hoping this conversation will shift your perspective from feeling "broken" to understanding you're God's masterpiece being restored.
We'll explore the beautiful Japanese art of Kintsugi and how it perfectly illustrates God's healing process in our lives.
You're not broken—you're buried under life's hardships, but your foundation remains strong.
It's time to move from "I'm a problem to solve" to "I'm an experience to live." You are God's masterpiece, created for good works, and your healing journey is part of His beautiful design.
So much love to you,
Dani

I genuinely believe YOU and I were created with purpose, and sometimes navigating our next steps can feel overwhelming. That's exactly why I created The Third Act.
If you're ready to stop playing small and stop letting your circumstances control you, let's talk. Schedule a free discovery call and see if The Third Act is right for you.

Ever feel the stress in your body? Welcome to the club! ;) A club I’d rather not be in, but I am here, so here we are. ;)
This by no means is an exhaustive list of ways to help, but I thought I would bring this subject around again on the show because so many of us are feeling the stress of life in our bodies. And I don't want to be a ‘victim’ of that stress and have been on a journey to really learn how to care for myself in this. It’s been quite the process, but soo worth it!
I mention "The Body Keeps the Score" by Bessel van der Kolk, a phenomenal book that triggered me the whole way through. But it taught me so much about why my body was feeling it and “keeping score.”
I hope this episode blesses you.
Key Topics Covered:
Understanding Body-Stress Connection
How stress manifests physically in the body
Personal examples of stress patterns (shoulder tension, hip pain)
The importance of acknowledging rather than shaming physical stress responses
What Doesn't Work
Self-shaming and harsh self-talk
"Suck it up buttercup" mentality
Ignoring your body's signals
Personal Evolution in Self-Care
How body needs change over time
Transitioning from ice baths to heat therapy
Listening to your body's changing needs
Honoring hormonal changes with age
Key Takeaways:
Your body keeps score - Physical symptoms often reflect emotional and mental stress
Permission to prioritize - Self-care isn't selfish; it's necessary
Adaptation is normal - What worked before may not work now, and that's okay
Gentle approach - Choose loving, nurturing ways to care for your body
Individual needs - We're not one-size-fits-all; honor your unique body
Feeling a tug towards finding your purpose and learning to how prioritize yourself without the guilt? It’s probably time to deal with what’s actually holding you back so you can move forward with more joy and harmony in life. We invite you to schedule a complimentary call with Dani to explore if working together is the right fit for you.

Ever walk into a room and instantly feel the weight of someone else's sadness? Me too! Today I’m talking about practical steps to protect your energy and not pick up what others are putting down.
Key topics:
Galatians 6:2 - "Carry one another's burdens"
The difference between carrying WITH someone vs. carrying FOR someone
How to steward your sensitivity as a gift, not a burden
Practical Steps for Energy Protection:
Recognize - Notice when emotions aren't yours (taking your temperature before/after interactions)
Pray for them - Use your sensitivity to pray more specifically for others
Release it - Pray for protection and ask God to remove what isn't yours
Reset - Take action to recalibrate (walk, water, music, movement)
Action Steps:
Before your next difficult conversation, take note of how you're feeling
Practice the pray-release-reset method when you absorb others' energy
Identify relationships that consistently drain you and prepare accordingly

Hello you beautiful soul!
If you're feeling overwhelmed by negative thoughts, stuck in loops of fear and self-doubt, or just plain exhausted, this episode is for YOU.
We're talking about God's incredible power to transform the wilderness places in our lives into streams of living water.
What You'll Discover:
✨ Why you're NOT broken if you struggle with negative thoughts
✨ How to begin the process of rewiring your brain from negative patterns to healthier thinking.
✨ The vision of boats on the lake - letting resentment and anger sail on by
✨ Why healing takes time and that's perfectly okay
✨ The difference between pouring out empty vs. giving from overflow
Key Scripture: Isaiah 35
"The desert and the parched land will be glad. The wilderness will rejoice and blossom... Water will gush forth in the wilderness and streams in the desert."
Real Talk:
You're not doing anything wrong if transformation feels slow
Your overactive imagination can be trained for good instead of fear
God wants to speak to ALL of us - you're not a unicorn!
