The answer to why? Is why not! I was thinking while I was out there why do I do things like this. In the beginning the answers were super coachy we need to challenge our selves to grow. By the middle I headed to guru land so we can see who were are without all the other things. By the end I had stepped back into my human form why the f**k do I do this s**t to myself. And by the time I reached my house I needed this to remind myself of who I am.

The level of f**kery in my head is directly correlated to the level of importance I put all the millions of things I have zero control over and don’t really have impact on me.

10/10 highly recommend

I’ve been stuck in the bulls**t of my own making. To much to do without the space for fun, curiosity and possibilities. I am not a rule follower even of those rules are mine. So when I’m stuck it is time to move some s**t around. It’s time for in person cafecito in the morning with and then an impromptu gym session and then sit in the sauna a little longer listening to OutKast. I have a ton of work to do but it will go so much faster once I’ve broken a few rules 😉
What rules are we breaking today?

If you see me in real life or on the internets this is me 97% of the time, there is no make on, the hair a little wild and probably pulled off my face. I’m talking way too fast and way too loud. I’m wearing a tank top or the lightest long sleeve T-shirt with the sleeves pushed up because even when it’s cold I’m hot. And I definitely do not have shoes on. I do not fit in some “professional” box.

At some point I’m laughing with my whole body, I’m telling you you can do the thing you feel in your soul is right for you and I’m always willing to sit through the hard thing with you (and I’ll probably try to make it a little less hard).

The way I coach and host community is from my soul.

And at some point in my life I have tried to change every one of these things but it doesn’t feel authentic for me.

I could wear the makeup, do the hair, upgrade the clothes, lower the voice, slow down my speech. But than the full bod of laughter is me covering my mouth when I laugh, it’s me agreeing that life is hard, it’s not being able to sit through the hard things because I can’t even sit with myself.

So this is me, all of me ❤️

If you know me I’ve probably said this to you. When you said, “I need more of this” or “ I wish …” or “why don’t i do more……” or any of the things where you can see a glimpse of something different or better. Because it is what I truly believe, your life is always 1 to 2 decisions away from being different, sometimes it slightly different and sometimes it’s totally different but that my friends is completely and totally up to you. What you want is always available!

I had an Aha moment recently that hit me like a ton of bricks.

I was driving to pick up one of my kids, listening to Gary Vee’s podcast, when he said:

“Attention is our greatest asset.”

My immediate thought was “I don’t want that asset.” And it stopped me in my tracks. Right before this I was in an all day session with we were talking about your money story and all transparency was annoyed I was doing this exercise for like the 10th in my life and the story is still the same. I realized something I’ve been carrying since I was 7 years old: My entire plan in life has been to fly just under the radar, to avoid being “found out.” It’s not like there is something to find out, it’s a feeling that some day the “gig will be up”

Growing up in the 80s with undiagnosed ADHD and dyslexia, school was hard. I remember the shame of being called on to read aloud, of struggling to keep up, of feeling like I must have missed the day where everyone else learned all of this. Back then, there weren’t words for what I was experiencing—just the silent judgment of not “paying attention”

So I learned to stay small. To hide the parts of me that felt broken. To avoid surprise attention and only create attention to me in areas that I was excellent in.

But here’s the kicker: Success—true, visible success—means being seen. And to my 7-year-old self, being seen felt like the least safe thing in the world.

Hearing Gary Vee and my immediate reaction made me realize I’ve been carrying this belief for decades. It’s shaped everything—how I show up, how I grow, and even what I believe I deserve.

I’m untangling this web in real time, the subconscious is always an interesting place to go!

Saturday I will be hosting a panel at The 2nd Annual Reproductive Health Event on The Inner Journey of Motherhood: Thriving Mentally, Emotionally, and Spiritually
Motherhood is not only a life stage but also an evolving energy that embodies creativity, patience, and deep empathy. Join our host, Jaime Nolan, from The Anima Collective, as we explore this powerful journey with four incredible experts: Alison Yanni, Craniosacral Therapist and Healing Facilitator; Ashley Garritson, Medicine Woman and Life Coach; Seneca Williams, Licensed Therapist and Coach; and Chinmayee Devi, Reiki Healer and Yoga Guide.

This discussion will go beyond the physical experience of being a mother to explore how the mother energy transforms us, helping women navigate identity shifts and cultivate compassion, wisdom, and spiritual practices. We’ll also discuss the path of evolving from mother to elder, honoring the creativity and intuition that shape this transition.

Whether you’re a mother or someone who embodies the nurturing mother archetype, come learn how to embrace the journey of nurturing yourself and others, fostering resilience, and growing into your fullest expression.

This might be my new favorite analogy 😂🤣😂
Friday night I was making a dinner I hadn’t planned on but was happy to be making while texting a friend. The bowl I picked was the size I needed to serve the potatoes in but too small to mash the potatoes in. So every time I pushed down the potatoes were going up the side of the bowl forming a wall above the rim, that I would push back to the middle and start again. This made it super slow and very little room for any other ingredients butter, sour cream and milk made for a less stable wall above the rim. Eventually with some care I made it work but damn if this isn’t life right now. It’s delicious and it all barely fits every time I add something to make it better I have to move a little slower to make sure nothing is spilling over. I’m sure it’s going to work out in the end but it’s a little iffy at the moment. Also mashed potatoes are always a good idea!!

Last night I was at the awesome event! There were so many amazing women there. I met the awesome Shea from and we were talking about life and business and the interesting road we all have traveled on and what is coming next she said “I show up so the universe can exceed my expectations!” I love this, like really really love this! I may have made her repeat it 3 times 😉

How many times in life are we expecting s**t to go wrong? How often do we settle for good enough? What if you walked around with the expectation that life is planning on exceeding our expectations!?

Thank you for the reminder Shea! Let’s see what expectations we can exceed!!

Y’all my friends are starting to ship there microgreens and needed to test the packaging, cooling and post office delivery. They passed the test and made it from NC to Miami!! They even sat outside in direct sunlight for some period of time 😬. Not only are microgreens super nutrient dense but they are delicious!! Awesome job Danny and Jenn!! Go follow them!!
