Best D Life with Daniela - Work Life Balance & Wellness Strategies

Ever felt like you're in a fishbowl, only interacting with the same people every day? In my latest podcast episode, I had an eye-opening chat with David Coupland, founder of Qu Mindset, about how we can break out of our bubbles and connect with diverse individuals. David's platform, Qu Mindset, offers spontaneous video calls on shared interests, helping us learn and grow from each other. Whether you're into sports, marketing, or travel, there's someone out there to share insights and experiences with you. Dive into the world of diverse interactions and see how it transforms your personal growth!

At seven years old, growing up in a small English seaside town, David decided he would get the most out of life by traveling the world and meeting as many people as he could. That mindset carried him into a 15+ year career in film and television—Star Wars, Game of Thrones, James Bond—where he worked in over 50 countries, across oceans, deserts, studios, and cities. He met thousands of people, experienced endless perspectives, and lived the life the younger me had dreamed of. But something was missing. Even though he spent his life helping others grow, he’d always wanted to do more—to contribute to the world and the advancement of our species in a meaningful way. So in 2022, he left the industry and finally gave himself space to reflect. What had he really learned from all those years, people, and places? And what could he do with all of it?

That’s when Qu came to him. It hit like lightning—a culmination of everything he’d ever done, seen, and become. David realized he was happier than he’d ever been—not because life was easy (it wasn’t), but because he was growing in every area of his life, consistently and intentionally. And with each step forward, he felt it—real joy. Physical, mental, spiritual. As his growth became more deliberate, so did his happiness. Now David wakes up every day with that feeling—even in the hard moments. Especially in the hard moments. Because he knows they hold value, help me grow, bring him joy. The truth is, it took him 40 years, a global career, and countless experiences to develop what he now calls the Qu Mindset—the ability to learn and grow from every moment. David built Qu: to help others access the world’s greatest teachers, experiences, and other people in ways that are easy, exciting, affordable, and available to everyone, everywhere.

Did you know grief isn't just about losing a loved one? On my latest podcast episode, I had an enlightening conversation with Dawn Fackler, a hospice nurse and grief recovery coach. We discussed how grief can stem from various life transitions like divorce, job changes, or even becoming an empty nester. Dawn shared her journey and emphasized the importance of normalizing conversations around grief and mental health. Understanding and acknowledging these feelings is crucial for recovery. Listen now for more insights on navigating these complex emotions.

Dawn is a dedicated registered nurse who has been providing compassionate hospice care since January 2021. She passed the Indiana State Board of Nursing exam and became a registered nurse in March 2012. With a deep passion for end-of-life care, Dawn considers it an honor to support patients and their families through life’s final journey. In addition to her hands-on nursing experience, she has expanded her expertise into Legal Nurse Consulting, combining her knowledge to advocate for others in various capacities.

While her professional work is rooted in hospice and grief support, Dawn’s true mission is to help people move beyond simply existing and rediscover their passion for life. She understands the weight of grief and life transitions firsthand, having experienced the loss of her father, grandparents, a job, and the emotional shift of becoming an empty nester as her daughter, Trystyn, reached adulthood.

As a single mom, Dawn believes her greatest accomplishment is raising her daughter, especially through the challenges of the teenage years. She wants others to know they are not alone in their struggles and is committed to guiding them toward healing, resilience, and a renewed sense of purpose.

Ever thought about money as a form of self-care? In my latest episode, I had a deep dive with money coach Hanna Bier, who shared how viewing money as a currency of gratitude can transform our financial mindset. She reveals that money, much like our emotional well-being, should enhance our life and community connections, rather than just being a means to an end.

Money Coach Hanna Bier works with ambitious women from around the world to recreate their relationship with money from the inside out and step into a world of financial overflow. As the founder of Money Bliss and author of her new book, Wealth From Within, Hanna has led tens of thousands of private and group sessions and has helped hundreds upon hundreds of clients join her in living blissfully and abundantly.

She spent seven years trying to answer the question: Is it possible to create wealth without compromising our health, wellness, and/or happiness? Can we actually create abundant lives while living a life of joy? Happily, the answer is a resounding YES. And this is the work she now does with clients. Hanna's clairvoyant abilities allow her to quickly discover the deepest money blocks in people's energy systems. Once these blocks are released through her proprietary methodology, abundance opens up in an entirely new, magical (and sometimes awe-inspiring) way. Hanna’s clients soar… rising to new levels of success... seemingly overnight... and become the radiant leaders their communities deserve, while enjoying a new sense of overflow, lightness, ease, fulfillment, and joy in every aspect of their lives. (Because abundance IS.)

When she’s not performing her variety of magic, Hanna enjoys the balance of motherhood, living throughout Europe, and spending time with her young daughter.
