What's Up?! I'm Danielle!

 

🍟French Fries & Ice Cream are my love language

 

🐾My 2 German Shepherds think I'm brilliant (they haven't told me otherwise)

 

✈️I haven't been everywhere but I'm working on it

 

📺If you can't find me I'm watching Vanderpump Rules or Big Brother (#IloveRealityTV)

 

I was a typical happy little girl, playing with barbies, dancing my heart out, and hanging out with my friends. In 6th grade it got serious...I started worrying about what I looked like. I quickly realized my legs didn't live up to beauty standards and started refusing to wear shorts. 

Taking all of my high school graduation money to purchase a "procedure" to get rid of all of my cellulite, the drastic weight-loss attempts continued...diet pills, consuming less than 1200 calories, eating only 1 time a day, overexercising, strict diet plans and on and on and on...

I wanted to be smaller, prettier, and absolutely perfect. Refusing to show up to any college course that required me to give a presentation and receiving a comment on a paper from a grad school professor stating "You have to speak up in class or you won't be successful," I had succeeded; I was almost invisible...quiet, unnoticed, "perfect" because I wasn't taking a chance on being seen or making a mistake. 

 

 

"When I get SUPER fit and lose weight I'll be SO confident and happy and THEN I'll speak up..." 

The lie I continued to tell myself.

I lost weight. I got 4-pack abs. I was the healthiest I had ever been. It didn't change anything.

I still had cellulite I despised. 
I still wouldn't speak in front of people. 
I wasn't happier. 

Society lied to me. 

CONFIDENCE is a CHOICE. 
BEAUTY STANDARDS are BS!
We aren't "PERFECTLY IMPERFECT" we are PERFECT! 
My Body isn't wrong SOCIETY IS! 

I began a new journey... Body Confidence. I asked myself "can I create peace & freedom around food & fitness and practice body appreciation to unleash my confidence (I was born with it) and fall in love with my body?" 

I didn't know the answer but I was willing to try. 

And this crazy cool journey took me on a ride of a lifetime. 

 

After spending a decade coaching, mentoring, & speaking with women around the world, it didn't matter if they were 25 or 75 the conversations always came back to similar statements...

"I can't wear a tank top because of my arms..."

"I need to lose more weight..."

"I'm part of the 70-85% of women that choose not to do LIFE because of my body..."

So HOW can we make a BIGGER impact so little girls don't grow up having similar thoughts?!?! 

The Pretty POWERful Girl program was created to mentor girls directly & help girls AND moms communicate about topics to help increase confidence. 

Every program I've created for women is with ONE goal in mind --> help them unlock their confidence & shift their mindset around food, fitness, & their bodies so they can be a POWERful example to little girls of what a confident & healthy woman looks like and talks like. 

I believe we will change the world when we STOP thinking about our bodies and START living in our POWER...and I hope one day I don't have a job because we no longer need my my message...

I cannot wait to hear YOUR Pretty POWERful story!

It's time to question beauty standards and get OUT of your body thoughts and INTO living your best, most POWERFUL life!
