Danielle is a LinkedIn strategist who built a fully booked freelance business without pitching, cold outreach or chasing trends. She helps founders and freelancers attract clients through content that connects and brands that feel real. She’s also built a wellness-focused brand on Instagram, showing how to grow across platforms without burning out. Her approach is rooted in clarity, consistency, and sharing what actually works, not just what looks good online.

In this episode, she shares what it actually takes to grow on LinkedIn and beyond. We talk about content strategy, building a brand that feels like you, and showing up even when you don’t feel like it. You’ll learn how to attract clients without selling, post without overthinking, and create content that helps people, and works for you. This one’s for anyone trying to grow online without losing their voice in the process.
