In this episode, I talk about what it feels like to grow into womanhood and how my sense of femininity has shifted as I have gotten older. I share how comfort has become a big part of my identity and how following my own timeline with makeup and beauty helped me understand myself better.

I also talk about learning to be more comfortable with who I am, both inside and out, and how certain habits, interests, and moments still connect me to the girl I used to be. Whether it is the shows I watch or the routines I gravitate toward, I can see the ways my younger self still influences my life today.

In this week’s segment of What’s Dani Thinking About, I explore how our twenties become a time where we reconnect with our inner child. I reflect on how nostalgia helps us see ourselves more clearly and how returning to the things we once loved can guide us toward a version of ourselves that feels honest and grounded.

In this episode, I talk about girlhood, the tiny moments that stayed with me, and the memories that shaped who I am today. From getting my first American Girl doll to the chaotic games my siblings and I made up, this episode focuses on the sweet, strange parts of growing up that still matter years later.

I share what girlhood looked like for me, including being a tomboy, playing pretend on my own, and dancing with my doll’s reflection in a bank window. These small memories became the ones I carried into adulthood without even realizing it.

In this week’s segment of What’s Dani Thinking About, I explore why nostalgia feels so powerful in our twenties and how our earliest experiences still influence us now.

This episode is all about concerts, nostalgia, and the chaos of live audiences. From talking about missing Tame Impala because of the spiked ticket prices to realizing that openers at smaller/indie concerts have to be hot...because how else are they going to attract their hot audience, since hot people love hot people. (it’s true) I’m sharing my favorite memories and funny moments from all the concerts I’ve been to, including the most recent time I somehow got secondhand high at a Beach Fossils show.

I also started a new segment called “What’s Dani Thinking About?” It’s a fun throwback inspired by the random bits we all loved in our favorite TV shows growing up. This time, I’m talking about my first concert, which was One Direction (with Zayn still in the band), pretending I didn’t like Justin Bieber even though I totally did, yet being an unapologetic One Direction girl at the same time.

Overall, this episode is about connecting through live music and enjoying the experience with everyone around you while realizing that growing up in your 20s is just reconnecting with the things we loved as kids. It’s being 13 all over again.

Music takes you anywhere… Back to your childhood car rides blasting Radio Disney or into a new chapter of Tame Impala's latest album. In this episode, I talk about how songs shape our memories and how new music can still make us feel nostalgic in its own way.
