Life is about progress, not perfection. It's okay not to have everything figured out. We must give ourselves permission to grow, learn, and evolve.

Life's beauty lies in its imperfections and the mess. So let's embrace the mess together! Next week, my coaching program begins, and I'd love for you to join us.

This program is something I've been designing over the last decade as I've journeyed with God and found joy again.

Reach out if you have questions, or sign up now. I can't wait to see you there!

I've struggled with depression and anxiety since day one, and a whole host of trauma and drama I'm working through.

I'm learning to build a beautiful life, thrive within it, and laugh about it.

I have this community of people in my life to help empower and equip me, and that's what this is all about."

To learn more about this community, check out The Feel Better Journey Coaching Program. https://buff.ly/47vzdBj

None of us can ‘squeeze’ through life without walking through hard things. And I have found that, in some way, these hard things define some part of us.

I once heard that “hard things either make you bitter or better.”

We all have stories, and I believe the most beautiful people in this world are those who embrace their stories and find a way to accept and live at peace in their lives.

There is no ‘refund policy’ on any part of our lives. Trust me, I have sometimes looked high and low for a refund! 😂

FYI—there is no exchange policy either. If you're looking to dig deeper into your journey, I invite you to join our upcoming round of The Feel Better Journey coaching program, where you will learn more about how I navigate the challenges in life and how you can do the same as you thrive. You are not alone! https://buff.ly/47vzdBj

Hey friends! There are a lot of new faces, so I want to introduce myself and welcome you!

Life can be a wild ride, filled with its fair share of heartache, self-doubt, and that persistent feeling of not measuring up, but we are in this together and have an awesome community to invite you into.

Hi, I'm Dani, and I'm on this journey with you. I've been in recovery for 13 years on my own journey of healing.

I love Jesus and cuss a little (so you've been warned). 🚨🤣

We have a podcast, weekly emails you can subscribe to, and even a group coaching program.

Join us in living an authentic life. Let's dive into the chaos, savor the moments, and discover the beauty in the brokenness together. Let's goooooo!

This poem by Mario de Andrade (San Paolo 1893–1945) has stuck with me!

I read it in Episode 124 and wrote it out for you on the blog. I hope it blesses you today and as you move forward into this year. https://buff.ly/3HgOHOZ

I counted my years and found that I have less time to live from here on than I have lived up to now.

I feel like that child who won a packet of sweets: he ate the first with pleasure, but when he realized that there were few left, he began to enjoy them intensely.

I no longer have time for endless meetings where statutes, rules, procedures and internal regulations are discussed, knowing that nothing will be achieved.

I no longer have time to support the absurd people who, despite their chronological age, haven't grown up.

My time is too short:

I want the essence,

my soul is in a hurry.

I don't have many sweets

in the package anymore.

I want to live next to human people,

very human,

who know how to laugh at their mistakes,

and who are not inflated by their triumphs,

and who take on their responsibilities.

Thus human dignity is defended and we move towards truth and honesty.

It is the essential that makes life worth living.

I want to surround myself with people who know how to touch hearts, people who have been taught by the hard blows of life to grow with gentle touches of the soul.

Yes, I'm in a hurry, I'm in a hurry to live with the intensity that only maturity can give.

I don't intend to waste any of the leftover sweets.

I am sure they will be delicious, much more than what I have eaten so far.

My goal is to reach the end satisfied

and at peace with my loved ones

and my conscience.

We have two lives.

And the second begins when you realize you only have one.

Hey friend! Friday was my birthday! I won’t bore you with the top 44 things I’ve learned in the last 44 years… who has time for that? 😂

Here’s one thing I’ve learned over the last year, though—no matter what 💩 storm comes our way—we can and will get through it! And that’s not some Christian cliche like “just pray about it.”

We may feel like a square peg in a round hole. BUTTT, we belong here in this world. YOU BELONG here.

And I’m so glad our paths have crossed, and you’re part of this community.

As a birthday present to my community—I am hosting a FREE workshop on Sunday, January 21st, at 2 pm PST called Thrive Under Pressure.

At this workshop, we will discuss how to thrive when life feels hard and how to move forward when you’re feeling stuck, exhausted by life, or struggling with anxiety.

I’d love for you to join us at the workshop, and I hope the time encourages you.

Sign up for the FREE virtual workshop now, and I'll see you there!

It's my birthday! I'm inviting you to a free virtual workshop called Thrive Under Pressure. If your life looks pretty good on the outside, but you're on the struggle bus internally, join us!

Holy moly, can the humans we love drive us nutty at times? In Episode 123, I share a quick story from my life and a turnaround tactic I use when I’m on the struggle bus. I talk briefly about my struggle with codependency—a very human struggle that most of us sensitive beings struggle with at times. There are two vital questions I find myself asking time and time again to help me thrive during rough moments: What do I control right now, in this moment? And what can make this moment better? I hope this episode blesses you! https://buff.ly/48KqWdT

In my program, The Feel Better Journey, we unpack several concepts to find meaning and purpose in our lives and ultimately feel better! We don't just talk about these concepts in the program; we apply and practice them. That's why it works.

The program aims to help empower us all to thrive through life, not just 'survive' life.

In Episode 122, I thought I would share one of those concepts—we take time to unpack it more in the program—but I hope no matter where you are, these thoughts and concepts can help you on your journey.

The concept/framework we are talking about is 'THAW,' and it can help us all feel better in our day-to-day lives. https://buff.ly/48Hdqrq

I focus on surrounding myself with real, raw, and authentic people; it makes a difference in my energy, perspective, and ability to help others.-Dani

Most of my friends are authentic. Honestly, it's just how I roll now. Read more on our blog for Episode 121, where we talk about Brennan Manning's Quote: “In every encounter, we either give life or we drain it, there is no equal exchange.” https://buff.ly/3S3wsmd

07/01/2024

I heard this quote a few weeks ago—and I can't stop thinking about it— "Life's a concert, not a museum."

For so long, I suffered under the 'museum' belief about my life—don't get me wrong, I love some museums, but if I had a choice between going to a concert OR a museum, I'd probably choose a concert.

Actually, I'd probably skip both, stay home with a fire, and watch Netflix. But me being a homebody is not my point! 🤣

I want my life to be a concert—where all the keys and notes play together to make one beautiful symphony. And I'm sure you do too!

The only issue is that sometimes it's hard to embrace that it will all work together somehow for us. In Episode 120, we talk about just that.

I hope this episode encourages you. https://buff.ly/4aKPsO2

Sometimes, hopelessness manifests in self-sabotage. The Holiday Season we just experienced can trigger hopelessness that may haunt or exhaust us after the actual holiday. If we feel stuck, it can be grief or hopelessness, and we can acknowledge it and find ways to grow around it. Check out Episode 119 for more and let me know if you can relate. https://buff.ly/47m99cB

Sometimes, our private pain is rooted in unspoken grief. We might be mourning the loss of our envisioned life or dealing with personal challenges that we can't disclose to others. These unspoken burdens can weigh heavily on our hearts, affecting our ability to connect with loved ones and be present in our relationships. So how do we navigate this pain? Listen to Episode 112 for more. https://buff.ly/41xSj8D #grief #privatepain #mourning #burdens #christiancommunity

The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those crushed in spirit. ❤️‍🩹 Many of us know too well that despair is tough. Maybe we run from it for fear it will talk us out or overcome and preoccupy us. Finding a healthy Christian community and ways to allow yourself to feel and process truly is vital. Listen to Episode 113 for a soul-stirring conversation about life's highs and lows.

“In every encounter, we either give life or we drain it. There is no neutral exchange.” - Brennan Manning. There is zero energy for BS in my relationships anymore as I surround myself with people who refresh me and truly give life. In Episode 121, I share more. Listen in for more about surrounding yourself with people who recharge you. -Dani ✨ https://buff.ly/4agG2t2

Life can be so tiring at times, ESPECIALLY when we have to deal with people who constantly find fault or nitpick and drain our energy. I feel your pain if you have some Dracula-like people in your life—thankfully, they don't suck your blood, but they do have a way of sucking the life right out of you! In Episode 121, I share a quote from Brennan Manning and hopefully a few helpful tips to empower you through it. You deserve healthy and empowering relationships in your life! #aholymesspodcast #danisumner #getyourenergyback #lifetransformationcoaching https://buff.ly/4agG2t2

What do kidney stones and the holidays have in common? Eventually, they will pass. The holidays may feel like a kidney stone, but this season will pass. I promise. 😆 But really, I’d like to commiserate how difficult the holidays can be as I'm starting to feel it... you too?🍗 🍽️ ✨🎄 In Episode 119, my counselor, Jim Beebe, and I candidly talk about how difficult this season can be for most of us. All the pressure and expectations of others make this time of year less than magical, not to mention the extra high expectations we pile on ourselves. https://buff.ly/47m99cB #holidays #holidayhumor #emotionalwellbeing #familytrauma #healing #anxiety #faith #expectations

If you're struggling with things you can't even put words to or aren't ready to share yet, I just want you to know it's okay and you're not alone. Listen to a short episode for encouragement. #healing #community #encouragement #lifewithJesus #faith #beencouragedtoday #christianlifecoaching
