Description
Hi there. Welcome to Piece of Work, the Podcast. I’m Danielle Tantone. I’m a nurse, author, coach, and survivor.
I love inspiring people to live their best life, reach for those big dreams, and find joy even in the pain.
As I wrote my memoir over so many years, trying to make sense of a story where I was way too often the bad guy instead of the hero, I came to understand that we are all a piece of work. But we’re also a work in progress. And even in our messiness, we are a work of art, too. All at the very same time. In fact we are all beautifully unique pieces of one masterpiece, waves in the same ocean.
This podcast explores the stories and struggles that make us human, the miracles that surround us, and all the ways we work to make sense of it all. Welcome to Piece of Work, The Podcast, with Danielle Tantone.

Getting to know James, contemplating our conflicting religions, trying to figure out if we have a future together...My first husband, Ian, didn’t believe in God, but we still celebrated Christmas. I even cut down my first Christmas tree with him. According to him, I was too “religious.” But the truth is I’ve always been more spiritual than religious - seeking truth, trying to understand God and people, never simply following the rules and reciting prayers and rituals by rote. In my mind, “rel...

My friend Rebecca Johnson happened to be in sweltering hot AZ, so we thought we'd chat on the podcast. Just like me, she's a self-proclaimed hot mess and a work in progress. Her best friend's son was murdered, her husband died suddenly, and then she found out she had a rare form of eye cancer. That would be enough to knock the life out of anyone. But laughter, friendship, breakdowns, work...and trips to the hot Arizona desert helped her heal. Her advice to anyone grieving or suffering: Take F...

This one is sort of an informal interview, with Mike asking me the questions...then of course interjecting has own thoughts along with my answers! (When Mike and I are together on the podcast, there's always a lot of banter, but thankfully our usual bickering is held at bay by the microphones in front of our faces!)We lived just a few miles fro one another in the suburbs of Chicago, IllinoisGrew up in Scottsdale, AZ - when it was just a little western town (met Mike in high school...

Five years ago when I was considering going back to school to become a nurse in my mid-40s, I read a book called The Shift that gave me an amazingly accurate view into a day in the life of a nurse. It was my great honor to sit down with Theresa Brown, the author of that book. Her third book, Healing: When a Nurse Becomes a Patient came out in paperback last month. It's a wonderful read about health and caring, breast cancer, grief, and healing. We had such a fun discussion about being a new n...

I loved getting to sit down with author and influencer Ashleigh Renard. Her memoir, Swing has become somewhat of a manual for couples who want to keep their marriages hot.When I met Ashleigh last year in Cathy Heller's Abundant Ever After program, I was instantly impressed by her energy and spunk, and the fact that she had recently published a memoir, which I was working on doing myself. I started following her on social media and devoured the audiobook version of her book. More th...
