Hello my friend!
Holy moly, can a lack of deep relationships burden our hearts and minds, especially when we long for deep friendships.
In today's episode, I talk about the power of and our desire for deep relationships that we all long for. Yet, so many of us struggle to find those relationships, so if you're struggling, hang in there.
You are not alone!
I also shared a funny story that I hope makes you laugh and that you don't judge me for! I'm a work in progress… ;)

Hi friends!
I'm so grateful that Therapist Ron Huxley is back on the show with us today! If you missed Episode 52 with him, check it out!
Ron’s an amazing human dedicated to helping people—he’s been a Therapist for over 30 years and a follower of Jesus. I am so grateful he shares his goodness and knowledge with us today!
We talk about many different things, and he walks us through a short meditation at the end of the episode. He also talks about three healing steps that help us heal from harm and hurt we are processing through—3 steps—Label, Listening & Let go. I love how Ron gives us easy ways to connect with what’s going on deeper within us.
Check out Ron’s amazing resources at:

Hi friend,
Happy Thanksgiving! I'm thankful for YOU! I want to reach through this episode and hug you!
Therapist Jim Beebe is back today—I'm so grateful for the fantastic insight and wisdom he freely shares with us!
In today's episode, we talk briefly about the loneliness some of us feel around the Holidays, even if we aren't 'alone.' And how to manage dysfunctional relationships and people. He also talks about expectations and managing our emotions.
Jim says, "Joy takes trust."—Woah, mull on that for a moment.

So much love to you,

Hi friend!
This episode initially was "3 Tips To Managing Stress Leading Up To The Holidays".
However, after meeting with some friends a few days ago and hearing them deal with the 'Holiday funk,' I decided to keep it simple and change it to one tip!
It's too important of a subject--so I decided to create one episode around this whole concept.
This concept is one of the secret sauces to a more peace-filled life.
I know there are a ton of pressures in this season--so hang in there, my friend.
I hope this episode encourages you!
Love,
Dani

Hi friend,
In today’s episode, I share my gratitude and heart for my 12-year sobriety journey. I’m so grateful for you all, and I love being on this journey with you!
Mentions:
In AA, there’s a phrase that I love— “Don’t quit before the miracle happens,” — so, whatever is going on in your life, don’t give up.
Jeremiah 29:13-14 “You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you,” declares the Lord, “and will bring you back from captivity.”
5x5 Rule: If this thing you are struggling with won't affect your life five years from now, don't give it more than 5 minutes of your time today. (Yes, I know -- 'easier said than done,' so be patient with yourself! But it's good to have goals.)
So much love,
Dani

Hi friend!
I'm so excited for today's episode--it's with my AMAZING Therapist Jim Beebe. If you've ever asked yourself, "Do I need therapy?" -- I hope this episode encourages you and helps you figure your next steps out with Therapy, AND/OR gives you much peace you're already on the right track with what you're doing!
Jim's a super humble and kind man. He agrees Therapy is not the 'magic pill' to fix everything(don't I wish there was a magic pill, though!). I think Therapy can be especially helpful in seasons when life seems difficult. It can be a powerful asset to be able to process in a safe space.
Other episodes and conversations with Jim: Episode 5, Episode 6, and Episode 29

So much love to you all!
