Hi friend!
Today's a short episode, and I HOPE it encourages you!
I'm sharing one of my favorite quotes and verse—Romans 15:13.
Sometimes, life wears us out so much that we forget we have what we need inside to live a beautiful life.
I hope today's episode reminds you of the strength and wisdom God has given you deep within your being.
Sometimes, the best thing from hard times that we walk through is the wisdom birthed through it.
Quote: "What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies with us." --Ralph Waldo Emerson

Hi friend!
If you've ever felt more anxious after praying or wrestled with thoughts like, "Why isn't prayer helping?!" and "Am I doing it wrong?" and so many others, today's episode is for you.

Jesus, I surrender myself to you. Take care of everything. Amen.
The Lord's Prayer:
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdo ..read more

Loneliness can feel so isolating, but most of us feel the sting of it.
It can affect us in many ways--emotionally, mentally, and even physically and spiritually ..read more

Hi friend!
If you've ever struggled with knowing when to help someone who is struggling and when to set a boundary, I hope today's episode helps!
Today, I'm sharing a strategy that has helped me discern that whole thing!
And I love and live by this quote: "The place God calls you to is the place where your deep gladness and the world's deep hunger meet."
— Frederick Buechner
This strategy is not a perfect science by any means, but it has served me pretty well over the last decade, and I hope it helps you, too!
Glad you're here!
Much love,
Dani

Hi friend,
Well, life got real for me a couple of weeks ago when I unexpectedly drank alcohol on accident after over 13 years of sobriety.
I am still sober, by the Grace of God.
I'm sharing the story in today's episode.
There is so much more I could have shared, but I kept it short.
I've learned so much through this experience, and I'm sure I will share more about it all in the future.
For today, please know how grateful I am for this community and how thankful I am that you're here with us.
I'm also so grateful for the gift of life, for actually living and thriving, not just survi ..read more

Hi friend,
I used to think meditation was so "woo-hoo" or "new agey" until I started doing it and realized what a holy and fantastic practice it could be!
It doesn't have to be intimidating or be 20 minutes a day. You can do a short one in 30 seconds.
The more I practice, the more it helps. It's funny how things work that way.
Also, doors are open to The Feel Better Journey--my group coaching and mentoring program! Or aka, "Dani unplugged!"-- We laugh a lot and heal Spiritually together.
I love our community, and I'd love to journey with you! The program is virtual & ..read more
