• 194. How to Stop Absorbing Other People's Emotions & Protect Your Own
    2025/07/05
    Ever walk into a room and instantly feel the weight of someone else's sadness? Me too! Today I’m talking about practical steps to protect your energy and not pick up what others are putting down.

    Key topics:

    • Galatians 6:2 - "Carry one another's burdens"
    • The difference between carrying WITH someone vs. carrying FOR someone
    • How to steward your sensitivity as a gift, not a burden
    Practical Steps for Energy Protection:
    1. Recognize - Notice when emotions aren't yours (taking your temperature before/after interactions)
    2. Pray for them - Use your sensitivity to pray more specifically for others
    3. Release it - Pray for protection and ask God to remove what isn't yours
    4. Reset - Take action to recalibrate (walk, water, music, movement)
    Action Steps:
    • Before your next difficult conversation, take note of how you're feeling
    • Practice the pray-release-reset method when you absorb others' energy
    • Identify relationships that consistently drain you and prepare accordingly
    • Set healthy boundaries around news and social media consumption

    Also, feeling a tug towards finding your purpose? It’s probably time to deal with what’s actually holding you back so you can move forward with more joy and harmony in life. We invite you to schedule a complimentary call with Dani to explore if working together is the right fit for you.

  • 191. What If Your Negative Thoughts Aren’t Your Fault? How to Finally Transform Your Thought Life
    2025/06/22

    Hello you beautiful soul!

    If you're feeling overwhelmed by negative thoughts, stuck in loops of fear and self-doubt, or just plain exhausted, this episode is for YOU.

    We're talking about God's incredible power to transform the wilderness places in our lives into streams of living water.

    What You'll Discover:

    ✨ Why you're NOT broken if you struggle with negative thoughts

    ✨ How to begin the process of rewiring your brain from negative patterns to healthier thinking.

    ✨ The vision of boats on the lake - letting resentment and anger sail on by

    ✨ Why healing takes time and that's perfectly okay

    ✨ The difference between pouring out empty vs. giving from overflow

    Key Scripture: Isaiah 35

    "The desert and the parched land will be glad. The wilderness will rejoice and blossom... Water will gush forth in the wilderness and streams in the desert."

    Real Talk:
    • You're not doing anything wrong if transformation feels slow
    • Your overactive imagination can be trained for good instead of fear
    • God wants to speak to ALL of us - you're not a unicorn!

    In this episode I sit down with the brilliant Dr. Sandra Richter, author of the Deborah Bible study to discuss finding God's grace in our broken stories and answering His call to reclaim kingdom territory.

    She shares part of her story, and you guys, she’s one of us. She’s amazing and God is doing so much good work through her. I hope hearing her story and her heart and passion for her work inspires you on your journey. God’s NOT done with YOU!

    About Dr. Sandra Richter:

    Today as we talk you can tell her approach combines brilliant theological insight with authentic vulnerability from her own journey of healing from childhood trauma. Her passion is making Scripture accessible while challenging believers to step into their kingdom purpose.

    We’re talking about her bible study, “Deborah Bible Study Guide plus Streaming Video: Unlikely Heroes and the Book of Judges (Epic of Eden)”

  • 189: Finding Purpose in the Messy Struggles: Navigating Faith, Forgiveness & Surrender
    2025/06/10

    Ready for clarity on your next steps in life and want to learn more about working with Dani and how she can help you get there? Schedule a complimentary call with her to explore your options.

    Hi friend!

    Today, I'm covering a few things… We're talking about one-day-at-a-time healing, why forgiveness isn't a "pray once and done" situation, and how to feel your feelings without letting resentment poison your soul.

    Also, just a friendly reminder, God hasn't forgotten those dreams He planted in you long ago... I think sometimes we need that loving reminder. ;)

    Take care of yourself this week - do something that makes you feel alive. You're worth it.

    Life is such a journey! I hope this episode blesses you.

    2025/06/10

    ☎️Holy Shift! Ready for one?! Book a call with Dani to explore if one-on-one coaching is right for you! Click here to schedule! 📆

    Hi!

    I’ve spoken with a few friends lately who have relapsed with their addiction struggles.

    Relapsing can be so difficult and really pile on the shame.

    I want you to know—you are not alone, and it’s going to be okay. Please reach out and find a support system to help you get back to your sobriety. You deserve the help you need!

    If you’re struggling deeply with a destructive addiction, please reach out to a local recovery group near you. There are amazing resources for every type of addiction. Remember, you are not alone!

    👉🏼💛 If you’re looking for more freedom and personal growth in your relationship with God, or if you want to find more peace with yourself, reach out for a discovery call. We can explore together if working together could help.

    Love,

    Dani
