We’ve been conditioned to believe that leadership means having it all together; polished, poised, always in control.

But what if that illusion is the very thing keeping us from real influence?

In this episode, I pull back the curtain on one of the hardest seasons of my life. A time filled with broken trust, hidden truths, and deep personal growth. I also share what I’ve learned about the quiet power of vulnerability, ownership, and embodied presence AND why they’re not weaknesses in leadership, but your greatest assets.

If you’re into leadership, business, or personal growth, this one’s for you.

• The myth of “having it all together” in leadership

• Why vulnerability builds trust faster than any strategy ever will

• How to lead while healing, without losing your power

• The “Real Talk Filter”, a tool to share honestly, not recklessly

• A powerful reflective question to help you lead from truth

  
  

“Your vulnerability doesn’t make you weak. It makes you trustworthy.”

🎧 If this episode speaks to you, I’d be honoured if you’d subscribe, leave a review, and share it with someone who’s ready to lead more honestly and powerfully.

Thank you for being here. The world doesn’t need your perfection.

PS. I hope you LOVE the new background!

This episode is perfectly imperfect…
The video? Yeah, it’s not my best work.
But the message? The sound? 🔥
It’s clear, powerful, and exactly what you need to hear.

Because around here, we’re all about showing up real, not perfect.

It’s one of those words we all say, but rarely stop to feel.

And this past week, it was everywhere I turned.
From conversations with highly successful businesswomen in my private coaching…
To unexpected moments in rooms filled with tradespeople and leaders during my facilitation work.

Different industries.
Different life experiences.
But the same conversation:
How do we build trust, not just with others, but within ourselves?

Here’s what I’ve learned…
The deepest trust you’ll ever build won’t come from proving yourself to others.
It won’t come from being liked, accepted, or validated.

It comes from the quiet, steady practice of returning to yourself.
Again and again.

In this episode, I’m inviting you into a deeper conversation about trust;
Not the kind that’s built through strategies or scripts, but the kind that starts within your body, your nervous system, and your truth.

Because self-trust? It's not just a mindset, it’s a practice.
And it’s the foundation of every courageous, magnetic leader I know.

Inside this episode, we explore:

• • The unexpected ways trust shows up (and slips away) in leadership and life

• Why self-trust isn’t something you ‘find’, it’s something you remember

• How your nervous system holds the key to every powerful conversation you’ll ever have

• Why embodied leadership changes the way you speak, listen, and lead

• A practice I use personally and with my clients to rebuild self-trust in any moment

What if the very thing you’ve been praised for; being humble, easygoing, low-key is actually the thing holding back your leadership?

In this powerful opening episode, I share the truth about playing small and why it’s not humility… it’s self-suppression.

I unpack the hidden cost of shrinking yourself in business, leadership, and life and how it’s time to stop dimming your light for the comfort of others.

You’ll hear a deeply personal story from my journey, a science-backed reason our brains confuse safety with silence, and a reframing tool you can use today to take up more space with confidence and authenticity.

💭 What we cover in this episode:

• The myth of humility and how it masks fear

• What “playing small” really communicates as a leader

• A neuroscience perspective on why visibility can feel threatening

• A powerful self-coaching prompt to expand your presence

• How to stop outsourcing your voice and own your space

Power quote:
“You weren’t born to be palatable. You were born to be powerful — with heart.”

Thank you for being here, we’re just getting started.

You’ve built the business. You’re leading the team.
You walk into rooms that once felt out of reach…

But deep down, a voice still whispers:
“You’re not good enough.”
“Any minute now, they’ll find out.”
That, right there, is imposter syndrome.

In this episode of The Danni Vee Show, I strip back the polished mask of confidence and talk about the real reason so many high-achieving women feel like frauds, no matter how much they’ve accomplished.

I’ll share:

• Why confidence alone won’t silence imposter syndrome

• How to identify performative vs. embodied confidence

• The link between self-respect, inner authority, and true presence

• A powerful mindset shift that frees you from needing constant validation

  
  

This is a heart-to-heart for the woman who “has it all together” on the outside but still doubts her worth on the inside.

It’s time to stop performing and start embodying the leader you already are.

In this episode of The Danni Vee Show, I break down the first pillar of my EMBODY framework:

ENERGY

Welcome to the very first episode of The Danni Vee Show; where we go beyond strategy and into the heart of what makes powerful, authentic leadership.

In this debut episode, I share the story I’ve never fully told.
The one behind the polished bio, beyond the achievements.
The one that shaped me into the woman, leader, and coach I am today.

I dive into:
🎙 The masks I wore as a leader and why I finally took them off
🎙 What true executive presence really means (and how to embody it)
🎙 The pivotal moments that redefined my confidence, leadership, and purpose
🎙 Why your story holds the key to your influence, impact, and power

If you're a woman who knows she's meant for more, but you've felt the pressure to perform, conform, or shrink, this episode is for you.

This is where we start.

Raw.

Real.

Powerful.
