Joining the podcast is Dani Wearden, a mom, a creative, a writer and a business owner/entrepreneur. She recently began offering copywriting and social media management services. She loves the outdoors and is a spiritual soul. That’s a big part of why we connected. I feel like Dani is an old soul who looks younger than her 30 years. She shares that she feels like she’s lived two lifetimes. Growing up on a working farm she was the cowgirl 4H’er. She got a teaching degree, and that was her path. Her life as wife, mom, teacher didn’t work out as planned. When she stopped school to be a mom, and her marriage ended, she began her plan B. She bought a business and jumped in. The first year was a huge challenge, and Danie explains how she made it work. Then the pandemic hit. She says she “fell into” her current life. She applied to write for a magazine because business was down during the pandemic. Hear how getting that job led her to new opportunities that opened the door to where she is today. How did you give yourself the grace to make big life changes? Like many of us in the midst of big transitions, it was about surviving and doing the best she could for her son. It was often day to day. Hear the question she asked herself to gain confidence and look to the future. She looked for the next opportunity. She did not see herself staying stuck. She explains that she stays in the moment and puts her all into what she’s doing while also paying attention to the signals when it’s time to make a change. This is such a helpful frame of mind! Resilience comes from a mindset of understanding that you always have options. Hear Dani explain how she knew it was time to make a change. The universe helped bring the right connections and opportunities just when she needed it. Not only did she get the income she needed, she also realized that she could use her new-found skills (some that she’d discounted earlier) in a business that would provide for her. Dani’s advice: Detach from requiring a specific outcome. Take small steps forward and be open to opportunities. Allow room for the magic to happen.
