What happens when the thing you've built your entire life around suddenly disappears?

Cooper Chapman was a top 100 professional surfer living what looked like the dream, traveling the world, sponsored by major brands, representing his country since age 14. But beneath the surface, his self-worth was being affected on a deeper level. Every competition result, every sponsorship deal, every sticker on his surfboard determined whether he felt worthy or worthless.

Then at 22, at the peak of his career, his major sponsor dropped him without warning. He went from making $50K a year doing what he loved to working 50-hour weeks digging holes on construction sites just to afford his next competition. After a powerful moment with his sister, he began to pave a new path.

Today, Cooper's Good Human Factory has transformed over 10,000 lives across Australia. His revolutionary 1% Good Club, based on just 14 minutes of daily meditation and gratitude has generated over 1 million moments of gratitude.

In this episode, we talk about finding identity beyond achievement, why losing everything can lead to purpose, and how giving just 1% of your day to meditation and gratitude can rewire your brain for positivity. Cooper shares his five core values of responsibility, gratitude, empathy, mindfulness, and kindness and opens up about imposter syndrome, resilience, and building peace of mind from the inside out.

A listener’s raw confession stopped me in my tracks: “I know I’m not worthy because I fuck up.” She’s paying off $100K in debt, thriving at work, and being an amazing mom yet she wouldn’t let her daughters speak to themselves the way she speaks to herself. In this episode, we unpack the cruelest lie we tell ourselves: that self-worth needs to be earned, can be lost, or is up for debate.

You’ll learn why those “not good enough” beliefs aren’t really yours, how childhood experiences shape your worth story, and the difference between making mistakes and being a mistake. We explore tools like the ANTs to PETs practice to rewire negative thought patterns, and ways to reparent yourself with the compassion you deserve. Spoiler alert: your worthiness isn’t a report card, it’s your birthright, simply because you exist.

Danielle’s beloved mother, Carolyn Colley, has lived with multiple sclerosis for 35 years. Now facing imminent respiratory and renal failure, she's been granted voluntary assisted death in New South Wales and she's happier than she's been in years.

Not because she’s given up, but because after decades of being in surrender to her body making the decisions, she finally gets to make a choice for herself.

In this deeply personal conversation, Danielle sits down with her mother to explore why death isn't the enemy we think it is, how choosing your exit can bring comfort and relief, and what it means to live fully even in your final months. This isn't a conversation about dying, it's about living with courage, choosing on your own terms, and the radical act of kindness.

It is a conversation about dignity, but not the kind you're thinking of. About the loss of it, catheter malfunctions, needing help to pull your pants up, the deeply unsexy reality of a body that's shutting down. And then we discuss finding it again, on your own terms.

If you've ever wondered what it actually means to die well, to live fully even when you're dying, or how to let go of someone you love who's asking you to be happy for them, this one's for you.

Content Warning: There are discussions about death, voluntary assisted dying, degenerative illness, loss of bodily autonomy, and grief. Also: surprising amounts of bathroom humor and karaoke references.
