Your Dreams and Desires Are God’s Will and Purpose for Your Life. Finding Faith to Be Courageous.

You’ve spent so long living for other people that you don’t even know what you want anymore. Maybe you gave it away slowly. Maybe it was taken. Either way, you stopped dreaming and started surviving. If you’re healing from people pleasing or self doubt, this one’s for you. On a car ride, Dani tells the story of a gas station stop in Ventura and a woman headed to Nevada with two kids, a dog and not enough money to get there. Dani filled her tank, bought snacks and sandwiches, and pulled $300 from the ATM. She’ll tell you she’s no saint. She’s just done the work to get out of scarcity, so generosity comes easy now. The desires in your heart are there on purpose: to give more, write the book, become a coach, invest, say hi to the stranger. God planted them, and finding your purpose starts with trusting that. The “how” is none of your business yet. Do your work, stay curious, take the next step. If you’re ready to stop living small and start moving forward, 1:1 coaching with Dani is where that conversation starts.

In this episode, Dani talks about:

• Why she filled a stranger’s gas tank and handed her $300 cash at a Ventura gas station
• How scarcity keeps you from being the generous person God made you to be
• The candy bar story, and what it means when people pleasing has left you not knowing what you want
• Why your desire isn’t disqualified just because someone else has already done it
• Healing from self doubt by letting go of the “how” and trusting God with it
• How a real estate deal reminded her God is still working on desires she surrendered years ago

Glad you’re here, Dani

You're at the happiest place on earth, you open one email, and your brain goes straight to worst-case scenario. That's where Dani was when a surprise tax bill landed in the middle of a family trip to Disneyland. This one comes from inside her coaching community, shared because it was too good to gatekeep.

The tool that helped her find her footing came from Betty, a prayer warrior in her 90s, who calls it Triple A Faith: Acknowledge, Appreciate, Allow. Name the hard and fight just as hard to name the good. Find the lesson and the people God brings through a rough season. Then let God be God. Dani lands the whole thing on Guardians of the Galaxy, the ride where she once pulled a shoulder muscle holding on, and this time rode it with her arms in the air.

Every season asks something hard of you. It's either hard to heal or hard to suffer, so choose your hard. If you're ready to stop white-knuckling and do the healing kind of hard with real support, 1:1 coaching with Dani is where that starts. Book at aholymess.com.

In this episode, Dani talks about:

• A surprise tax bill at Disneyland and the worst-case spiral that followed
• Why trauma survivors' brains jump to catastrophe, and why very few things are the end of the world
• Betty's Triple A Faith: Acknowledge the hard and the good, Appreciate the lesson, Allow God to be God
• Healing a money scarcity mindset that says it's never enough
• "Choose your hard" and why suffering with purpose beats suffering without it
• Riding Guardians of the Galaxy hands free, and what surrender actually feels like

What do you do when someone you love judges your faith or questions your calling from God? Dani recorded this one in the car on the drive home from LA, still processing a moment from the night before. A family member called her faith "Diet Coke" to his "Coke," and it hit a nerve. She gets honest about why it triggered her, and about what she found in herself once the sting wore off.

The opinions that cut deepest rarely come from strangers. They come from the people you love and respect most. Dani shares the story of a client who was at the top of his career in his 30s, felt called into ministry, and got pulled back into business because family and colleagues drowned out his own voice. She also revisits the priest whose words at 16 carried more weight than God or her own intuition, and what that cost her.

Here's the truth: your call from God is not a conference call. The people who love you don't get a vote. If you're ready to hear your own still small voice again, 1:1 coaching with Dani is where that work starts. Book at aholymess.com.

In this episode, Dani talks about:

• Why a "Diet Coke" comment about her faith triggered her, and why the anger didn't last
• The opinions that wound you most come from people you love, not strangers
• A client who left the top of his career for ministry, and what pulled him back
• How a priest's words at 16 outranked God and Dani's own intuition for years
• What to do with well-meaning people who weren't on your call from God
• Why seeking counsel from people who play small keeps you small too
