I am a woman of many titles….wife, mom, empty nester, coach, current career boss bitch, soon to be island babe who works full-time helping other mommas feel independent, confident and sexy at any age.

I grew up in a huge family in a tiny town in N/W Ohio (O-H-). While I am so thankful to be FROM there, I knew at a very young age that I wasn’t meant to live there (literally in elementary school!). My husband and I just sold our home in Phoenix, Arizona, quit our careers, and traveled full-time for 7+ months before moving to our forever home, the island of Kauai. We are literally living our dream, the dream I've manifested for the past 7 years. The peace my soul feels is immense and the gratitude I have is enough to bring me to tears at any given moment🙏🏼

From a young age, I was very body conscious. I hated my legs so much that you rarely caught me in shorts or a bathing suit through high school and college. It wasn’t until I had kids that I finally decided that my body wasn’t going to get any better so I had better get over it. That being said, I have also done everything I had ever heard of to lose weight. I’ve done the Adkins diet, the grapefruit diet, a ton of different diet pills, HCG that I was shooting into myself…from Mexico🤦🏼‍♀️, Lipo Dissolve (don’t ask, so stupid), oh, and, let’s not forget every supplement that Dr Oz suggested. It’s embarrassing the shit I have done to lose weight. 

Then I got into fitness and nutrition... finally a healthy approach! I was getting results and wanted to show everyone the way. I was running all these challenges that involved strict following of a workout and nutrition regimen. What kept happening was that the women I was helping were getting results, but the results were hard to sustain. Unless you are willing to be dedicated the rest of your life, the super toned body is nearly impossible to keep. It was fun being super in-shape like in this pic, but, it's also fun to enjoy food and drink... so my body certainly doesn't always look like that. 

Someone, somewhere along the way, said to me "I just need to go slow and steady." and it changed the game for me. Why are we spending our whole lives trying to get "in the shape of our lives", only to succeed and fail time and time again?? And, is the whole purpose of life to be thin? Of course, we want to look good, we want to feel good, we want to be healthy. But does any of that have anything to do with our size or, better yet, our weight???? 

A few years ago, I found my purpose by happenstance. I find nothing more fulfilling than helping women step into their truest selves and find inner peace. I will believe in you until you believe in yourself. 

 

If you…

  • Are never happy with your body.
  • Don’t even know who you are anymore.
  • Can’t find the time to take care of yourself because you give everything you have to your kids, spouse and employer. 
  • Think that eating healthy means tasteless crappy food.
  • Have done all the fad diets and are ready for a different approach.
  • Feel like you're "crazy" and don't have anyone to talk to. 
  • Feel like you’re in a slump and don’t know how to get out of it.
  • Are craving community.

Are you ready to:

  • Get your shit together and stick with a healthy routine.
  • Have a group of friends that will make you feel supported through anything.
  • Learn tips to make eating healthy and super yummy. 
  • Make YOU a priority?
  • Feel strong and healthy, mentally and physically.
  • Feel confident and sexy in your skin.
  • Realize that you are not crazy and there are other people who are so much like you.
  • Give fewer f*cks.
  • Love your body, in all her shapes and sizes.
  • Be in control of life instead of letting life control you.
  • Stop starting over.

I'm sure you're skeptical. It kind of sounds too good to be true... to put yourself first, say whaaaaat?!

I used to way overextend myself. I would say yes to anything anyone asked of me. I worked on every vacation and bragged about it…"I can reply to emails at the beach with a drink in my hand... that doesn't stress me out at all". I had email notifications on my phone and was so proud of how quickly I responded, day or night. I was willing to give everything I had to my employer…but why? Being that available isn’t even sexy. Unknowingly, I was growing bitter and I brought it all on myself. I managed the stress by drinking nearly every night after work and all weekend… adding more stress to my body. Sadly, that stress just builds up in your body and if you don't deal with it, it will, eventually, make you sick... mentally or physically.

My point in telling you all this about me is that I have been there. I've been there with body issues, boundary issues, relationship issues. And if I haven't, one of the women in my Slow and Steady mentorship has. Life really doesn't have to be this hard. 

Come to the Slow and Steady side babe🤙🏼

 

Cheers to health,

Don’t worry, I’ve been every one of these and have learned the skills to get to the other side. I am in the best shape of my life, over 40. I used to say yes to everything and be so extended that I was bitter. I drank nearly every night after work and all weekend….it’s really not a good look folks, though I was a super fun party girl…still not a good look;P 

I wasn’t a workout person. And once I actually turned into a workout person, I sure as hell wasn’t going to be a morning workout person….those people are crazy.

I worked my ass off. I worked on every vacation and bragged about it…”I can reply to emails at the beach with a drink in my hand”. I had email notifications on my phone and was so proud at how quickly I responded, day or night. I was willing to give everything I had to my employer…but why? Being that available isn’t even sexy. 

My point in telling you all this shit about me, is that I have learned so many skills along the way that I know I have something to help everyone. And I also have many ways you can work with me, so that you can take it at your pace.

Come see what I have to offer!

 

Cheers to health,
Dani
