A CPSD survivor, Danielle shares her journey through childhood trauma—how she moved from feeling unloved and unworthy to embracing healing, hope, and freedom.

    She introduces the S.E.L.F.© Path (See, Expose, Love, Free) she created to help others break free from emotional trauma and live in their true worth. Danielle also discusses how she empowers both women and men through coaching, courses, and workshops to walk in freedom and purpose.

  • Single, Whole, and Worthy: Rewriting Your Relationship Narrative with Fanny Tristan
    Aug 13 2025

    In this empowering episode of From Grief to Purpose, I’m joined by Fanny Tristan, LCSW-R — a Licensed Trauma Therapist and Coach for Single Women of Color, and the founder of Her Soul Supply, a coaching platform that helps women stop centering romance in their happiness and build lives rooted in purpose, self-trust, and meaningful connection.

    With over 15 years of experience in mental health, Fanny offers a grounded, liberating perspective on singlehood—especially for women navigating the constant pressures of where they “should” be in life. Her work challenges the outdated belief that wholeness comes only from partnership and instead reframes singlehood as a powerful and valid life season—rich with opportunity, clarity, and growth.

    Together, we explore how to rewrite your relationship narrative, embrace wholeness, and live fully in your season of singleness. Whether you’re healing from heartbreak, redefining what love looks like, or simply seeking to deepen your relationship with yourself, this episode will inspire you to stand in your worth and walk confidently in purpose.
