So much (too much) noise, but also, someone help me know exactly what I should be eating 😅

A very Dani internal dialogue:

“Chat - make me a fun character of all the things I like to do” (does this, gets a fun photo of me doing all the fun things)

Proceeds to get on Instagram and scroll for 4 minutes to see all of the craziness in the world.

“Damnit Dani, how can you be so self indulgent in the world when there’s like - all this crazy s**t happening”

“It’s just a trend, calm down”

“Yeah true, but using chat to make cartoons of yourself is literally not helping anything”

“Heal the world by healing yourself”
“Find your own inner peace and your helping the world”

“Well, how can I find inner peace AND stay somewhat informed? I put myself in a bubble of peace, but then I feel ignorant for not knowing what’s going on in the world. Then I learn about what’s going on in the world, and I feel nervous system fried, exhausted, and overwhelmed”

“Chat, make me a cartoon showing my anxiousness, overwhelm, and nervous system deregulation about these topics:
- Epstein files
- NWO
- dealing with my own autoimmune disease
- ICE deaths
- Iran massacre (power to the people + matriarch!!)
- Gaza
- natural disasters// erratic weather patterns
- AI?? What is even real anymore
- people talking about a virus outbreak in India (finding out nothing to be worried about!!)
- everyone and their mom trying to be a leader and tell me how to regulate my nervous system and the next best biohacking tool
- the feeling of “not doing enough”

Lmao. And here we are with this photo. Not sure chat reallllly captured all of it/ I couldn’t even think of everything I’m overwhelmed by… but it did its best. 😆 Happy Monday fam, we’re doing our best out here. ❤️🙏

Also - not sure why chat gave me a wedding ring or a backwards hat but I’m just going with hit haha🤷‍♀️

Here are my steps to align my chakras:

- stood near a vortex
- breathed deeply
- said “wow”
- felt spiritually superior for 12 minutes

Hehe - kidding.

It would never be that easy. “Aligning your chakras” aka getting your whole body, mind, nervous system, emotions energy to work together as a team instead of fighting each other is a slowww, mildly inconvenient process that involves real self-awareness, regulating your nervous system, moving your body consistently, having honest (sometimes uncomfortable) conversations, and doing it all over again. Very not glamorous.

I live and teach yoga here in Sedona and sometimes I’m baffled by the blind *credulous* (yes I know what this word means!!) beliefs people believe in when visiting here 😆

A lil Mexico drop ✨🌮🇲🇽

Agradezco por mi vida!! All of it 🙏 (highs lows and everything in betweeen) So happy to be able to celebrate my college roommate/ sorority sister love ❤️ 🫶, have some girlie time, and also get to spend some solo-dolo time (low key so necessary) in Mexico recharging ⚡️🙌

Integration from a month of travel so far has been lots of friend dates, back to workkkk, finally getting off of prednisone steroids 🤦‍♀️ and easing into things, walking the hill outside my house every morning at sunrise while chanting the Sri Sukta 😜 (day 4 of 40!), and planning another Sedona yoga retreat this spring (this time including pickleball!!.. Yes - yoga - hiking - PICKLEBALL!) (🙋‍♀️lemme know if your interested🙌🙋‍♀️!)

Yay ok Happy Sunday ☀️🤗 !

A colorful life. 🎨

I’ve always strived to live a colorful life.

Blue peaceful mornings, red passionate nights,, green grounded walks in the woods, violet floaty meditations, orange flavors and spices, yellow conversations and friendships, golden adornments, silver moments of stillness, and gray moody days sitting in coffee shops by myself, making up my own meaning to life.

A life filled with travel, adventure, creativity, play, dancing, singing, painting - alllll of the expressions - depth, emotion, and love… which often comes with pain 🤗🥰

Mostly, I’ve wanted to live a life that makes me feel ALIVE… and deeply human.

And if there’s one thing I can say I’ve been successful at for much of my life, it’s this - haha. ☺️

A colorful life. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🩷🤗

So much gratitude for the colorful life I’ve created - good, challenging, and mostly beautiful. And a deep bow of respect and gratitude for the amazing for taking this ride with me 😊❤️✨🙏

I played one of those conversation starter games recently, + one of the questions was “what’s something you wish people just KNEW about you”. Easy question huh? 🤔 It got me thinking though.. long after the game ended. What IS something I wish people knew about me? And why do we want people to know certain things about us, over others? Why do we post certain things on social media, + share the things we do?

I’ve been less + less active on social media, yet more inquisitive about it all. Trying to just be a witness to it - and this ain’t new information but - butttt recognizing it’s all rooted in the ego. The desire to be understood, accepted and loved. A clinging to an identity that we’re either dreaming up, or society has placed upon us. And there’s no real way to escape it. We all have ego. We’re all human. And there’s also nothing really wrong with it either. It’s just an awareness of what and who’s running the show when we’re doing it. Participating in social media AT ALL, any shape or form, is an expression of self + ego.

So anyways, one thing I wish people knew about me is that happiness doesn’t necessarily come super easy/ naturally for me. I’m generally pretty happy, but it has taken a lot of work to get here.. creating an environment that supports it, doing alllll the things… and I’m still not happy all of the time. A lot of times though, I feel the pain I carry isn’t necessarily “mine” either. (Cough *ancestral healing*).

The last month of 2025 has been the toughest month of them all. A full on autoimmune flare up like I’ve never seen before (see rash photo 6 - all on my arms). My mental health being severely challenged because of it (amongst other reasons.. financial stress, community dramaaa, etc). And the steroids I’m on seemingly disconnecting me from myself. Honestly, I’m the most unstable I’ve been in a while. Doing my best, but I’m pretty much at capacity.

And why am I sharing this? Oh, I guess to be one of the small voices in a little corner of the internet somewhere trying to keep the humanness alive.. + to be understood, accepted, + loved. ❤️.. I guess :)

Happy Holidays Fam ✨🥰

You still move with love in a world like this?

How sexy of you…

To stay open in this human earth school - this sacred classroom of contrast - is pure courage. I see you. I honor you. I love you. You are my people. 🫶❤️🥰

I love being a woman 🐍🌹🤍

And I love these women and this photoshoot 😘

Sharing just a couple of these *gorgeous* film shots by a couple weeks ago where we pranced and giggled and sang and appreciated each others beauty in our truest forms as healed/ healing women do 😘

Happy Navratri!! Day 4 - the goddess of cosmic energy, light, + warmth. Felt right to share these during this celebration of the 9 goddesses. ✨
