- A Continuation of the Journey That Led Me Here - Meet the New Dani
Welcome back to Season 3 of Perfectly Broken! In this episode, I reflect on my past New Year's intentions, the lessons I’ve learned, and how those experiences have shaped the way I show up today. I also share my new intention for the year and the massive shifts that have already started unfolding.
What you'll hear:
- Why Intentions Over Resolutions?: Resolutions fade, but an intention guides you all year.
- Looking Back to Move Forward: Five years ago, I was stuck— shame, stress, survival mode. If you’ve ever felt trapped in old patterns, know that real change is possible.
- Growth Feels Slow— Until It’s Not: Ever feel like you’re doing all the work but nothing’s changing? I’ve been there. And then, suddenly, everything shifts. That’s the magic of quantum leaps.
- Surrendering to the Unknown:Last year broke me open. In my lowest moment, I got the clearest message:Just trust. What would happen if you stopped resisting and leaned into trust?
- My 2025 Intention: Play:This year, I’m focusing on joy, presence, and reconnecting with my inner child. If you've spent your life in hustle mode, maybe it's time to soften into play too.
- Healing Is a Layered Process: More of my past surfaced on January 1st—proof that healing isn’t linear. If old wounds are coming up for you, know that you’re only given what you’re ready to process.
This season is going to be deep, raw, and full of growth— forme and for you.
