Before we jump into telling you about today's guest, we would like to first, let you all know that this will be Carly's last episode as co-host! We are so sad to see her go but are so grateful for all the time she put in to make this podcast what it is and to bring such a beautiful light into all of your homes. Thank you so much for everything, Carly! Second, this change is not entirely a sad thing, because we are now welcoming Danielle Enguero to YANA as co-host along with Becca. Dani is super special, fun, and just dynamite so sit back and get ready for The YANApodcast Phase 2 coming at you starting next week! 

That all being said now, let's welcome today's guest who will be sharing Part 2 of her incredible story! Dallas Slankard aka @Dallyjeeaan on TikTok is a Colorado Native that has worked both in the entertainment and business industries. She has recently found her voice through social media and has used her platform to open up about her mental health journey, finding support and camaraderie within online communities. She currently lives in Colorado with her 2 dogs and cat and loves to do theatre, bake, and create unnecessary home improvement projects in her spare time.
