Welcome to the Women of Influence Podcast and it is with great pleasure I introduce you to my friend Danielle (or Danza to her friends).

Actually she has already been featured on the Women of Influence so this is really a re-introduction!

Everyone needs a friend like Danza in their life. And if you don't, well I'm going to share her with you every Thursday.

In this episode we get straight into it!

The Blunt Text

Gifts from your ex.

Collingwood

Netball.... and then I accidentally zone out a bit!

We are in desperate need of a fact checker!

This episode was recorded in Danza's caravan which doubles as her hair dressing salon. You can check it out at on instagram @paristhecaravanbar or @parishairandbeauty_by_daneel

We will also continue to feature incredible women but..... just once a week you get just Kate & Danza living our best lives! Talking crap, solving the problems of the world, laughing and crying.

Enjoy.

Luv Kate
