About this listen

 Do you ever feel stuck, emotionally drained, or like you’re constantly striving but never “enough”? You’re in the right place!

Welcome to A HOLY MESS Podcast (ranked in the top 1% globally🎉), a podcast designed for you if you’re ready to break free and heal from self-doubt, burnout, and overgiving—so you can step into confidence, peace, God’s grace and purpose with clarity.

Each week, I share biblical wisdom, mindset shifts, and real conversations to help you:
✨ Overcome self-doubt and fear with faith-based confidence.
✨ Let go of striving and perfectionism and embrace God’s grace.
✨ Set healthy boundaries and stop people-pleasing without guilt.
✨ Heal from burnout, shame, regret, and emotional exhaustion.
✨ Renew your mind with God’s truth and step into your purpose.

There’s no magic wand to find more freedom, but there are practical tools that can help.

Even as Christians who sometimes feel unworthy and shame about our past, anxious about our future, or feel like we are not enough. There is so much more for us! There’s hope, joy, peace, fun, purpose, and a reason that YOU are on this planet.

If you’re ready to rediscover your worth, reconnect with God, and finally feel at peace, you’re in the right place.

We can have fun and laugh while trudging through our messes; this stuff doesn’t need to be dry and boring.
I can’t wait to journey with you.
Your new friend,
Dani

    203. Becoming the Version of You That Feels Like Home | Feel Peaceful, Excited, and Like Yourself Again
    Oct 16 2025

    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

    202. The 3 S's of Suffering: Service, Silence, and Self-Doubt (How to Break Free After Decades of People-Pleasing)
    Oct 9 2025

    🐸 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, Dani
