Have you ever felt a quiet tug for more - more space, more meaning, more time for you - only to be hit with a wave of guilt for even thinking it?

If you’ve ever caught yourself wondering, “Shouldn’t I just be grateful?” or “Who am I to want more when others have less?”, this episode of Her Turn is for you.

Today, Dani unpacks the deeply ingrained guilt that so many women carry when they begin to crave something beyond what they’ve been told is “enough.” This isn’t about toxic ambition or abandoning gratitude - it’s about honouring your truth without apology.

You’ll hear:

• Why women are conditioned to feel guilty for prioritising themselves
• How to recognise the voice behind your guilt - and release what’s not yours
• The power of holding both gratitude and desire at the same time
• How to take small, guilt-free steps toward what lights you up
• Why wanting more isn’t selfish - it’s your signal to grow

Whether it’s a shift in your career, your relationships, or just a deeper relationship with yourself, this episode invites you to stop silencing your desires and start exploring what’s next - with tenderness, courage, and zero guilt.

💭 Journal Prompt: What’s one thing you’ve been quietly wanting, but haven’t allowed yourself to name?

✨ Keep the Conversation Going:

• DM me on Instagram @coached.by.dani and tell me: what’s the “more” you’re ready to claim?
• Share this with a friend who’s been downplaying their desires - you never know who needs this permission slip.
• Leave a quick review if this resonated - it helps more women hear the message that they’re allowed to want more.

Are you stuck in a loop of self-doubt, burnout, or feeling like you’re never enough - no matter how hard you try? You’re not alone.

In this powerful episode of Her Turn, we’re diving deep into the silent stories that shape your inner world and your outer reality.

Whether it’s “I’m too much,” “I’ll never figure this out,” or “This is just how life is for me,” these quiet thoughts often run the show without us even realising.

But here’s the truth: you didn’t choose most of those stories - and that means you get to choose new ones.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why the beliefs running your life were likely inherited - not consciously chosen
• How to identify, unpack, and reframe limiting stories that keep you stuck
• The neuroscience behind why your brain believes what you repeat - and how to use that to your advantage
• Four practical steps to rewrite the narrative and start living in alignment with who you’re becoming
• A simple mindset shift that helps you break the pattern of perfectionism and people-pleasing

If you’re a woman who’s been showing up for everyone else, doubting yourself behind the scenes, or quietly questioning whether more is possible for you - this one’s for you.

In today’s episode of Her Turn, Dani is blowing up the myth of ‘balance’ that’s quietly burning out smart, capable women everywhere.

You’ve probably been told to chase perfect work-life balance - flawless career, thriving kids, tidy house, epic relationship, and a solid self-care routine. But really? Balance is a scam.

We’ll talk about:

• Why the 'balanced woman' is a harmful illusion
• What living in alignment actually looks like (and how it feels)
• How to stop trying to be all things to all people
• 4 practical steps to shift out of perfection and into peace
• How to identify your core values and let them guide your day-to-day choices

Because when your life starts to reflect what actually matters to you, everything changes.

And no - it doesn’t need to look perfect to feel aligned.
