In this vulnerable solo episode, Dana opens up about the years she spent shapeshifting to fit the mold—hiding that she was a teacher, a mom, or even just herself. From navigating burnout and resentment at the venue to reckoning with the fallout of people-pleasing in leadership, she shares the turning point that forced her to stop pretending.

This episode is a reflection on the power (and cost) of authenticity in life and business—and a reminder that if your whole heart and whole truth aren’t in it… what’s the point?
