Mudlark

Makayla Wilson was diagnosed with a rare form of Lymphoma back in 2017 and in today's conversation she shares with us what her fight has looked like. This is a tender, muddy, profound share and Makayla was so gracious with her time and presence.

She talks about her frequent trips to Mexico for treatment. She talks about family life and about what the conversation around her health has been like when talking with her young children. She shares candidly about the physical and emotion toll cancer has had on her and also shares what keeps her staying strong everyday.

This episode is for anyone needing a shift in life perspective and an adjustment from chasing to presence. Makayla's story is inspirational, powerful, and deeply moving and I can't wait for you to get to know more about her and her life.

In today's solo episode Dani takes you back to the very beginning where her relationship to money began, in utero. She invites us all to look at the beliefs we picked up when we were young closely and with compassion. This is a candid story of pain and shame around money, one that eventually moves into a place of grounded peace and empowerment. 

You'll go on a journey through her adolescent years of stealing, getting scolded by a police officer, and continuing to steal even more; a painful pattern that eventually became a deep family wound that has since (thankfully) healed. She talks about the moment when she started to see her dysfunctional patterning and began navigating where it came from. She talks about her first healthy financial decision and the ripply effect that has had on her relationship to money (and love) today.

She talks about the lightbulb moment she had around the connection to money and her relationship; the deep rooted fear that it will all just go away. You will walk away with actionable steps on how you can completely shift your relationship with money, your relationships, and ultimately, yourself. 

If you've ever felt hopeless, ashamed, and messy in your relationship with money, this episode is for you. Because if she can come to a place of higher self-worth and peace with money, she believes anybody can, all just by doing a little bit of digging.
