Corporate America broke her, and that’s when everything changed.

In this episode, Danielle Zilg shares the unfiltered truth about what it’s like to lose yourself in a toxic work culture. Not just burnout — we’re talking panic attacks, insomnia, short-term disability, and a full-on mental health collapse.

Her story isn’t about managing stress better. It’s about becoming someone who refuses to normalize harm — someone who listens when their body says “no more.”

Danielle’s collapse was the catalyst. What followed was deep healing, a new mission, and a path toward guiding others out of the same darkness. She’s now a coach, a mental health advocate, and studying Marriage and Family Therapy — all rooted in the same mission:“To light up your path toward a purposeful, fulfilling WHOLE life.”

This isn’t self-help. It’s self-rescue.

We cover:

* How toxic corporate culture manifests in the body

* The moment Danielle knew she couldn’t keep going

* Depression, panic, and the real cost of pretending you’re okay

* Why short-term disability might be the bravest move you make

* Reclaiming your identity after it’s been crushed

* The mission she’s now on — and how it might help you, too

In this episode of the 33 Conversations Podcast, we explore an enriching conversation with Laurin Mariani, a spiritual guide who transformed her life through self-understanding and acceptance. Laurin shares the evolution of her spiritual journey, discussing how she harnessed her unique abilities and channeled them into creating transformative programs.

Laurin passionately talks about "Soul DNA", her brainchild, inspired by her frustration with the concept of 'overcoming' inherent aspects of oneself. Laurin's perspective is revolutionary: rather than trying to change aspects of ourselves, what if we embrace them as inherent to our Soul DNA, just like our human DNA? This paradigm shift allows a profound authenticity, enabling individuals to identify and understand their triggers and reactions. Laurin proposes a unique method to deal with one's emotional outbursts.

She suggests releasing your emotions into another dimension, figuratively, and dissolving that dimension afterward. It's an approach that might sound theatrical, but according to her, it helps fully express the rage or anxiety without causing harm in the 'real' world. Laurin believes in the power of the 5D – an advanced consciousness level – which she says is readily available to us if we learn how to harness it. In her view, we can manifest our realities, and the energy once thought to be stagnant or harmful can be shifted and dissolved.

The conversation underscores the power of perception and understanding that every individual's journey is a unique path. Laurin encourages the acceptance and understanding of our inherent traits, opening up an insightful discussion about how embracing our "Soul DNA" can lead to authentic living and profound transformation. Join us for this thought-provoking episode and connect with Laurin Mariani to explore more about the concept of Soul DNA and its profound implications.

Don't miss this opportunity to deepen your understanding and embark on a journey toward authentic self-understanding. Tune in now!
