Hey friend! Today we’re talking about growing our relationship with our Creator, AND why the phrase "quiet time" makes me cringe and how I learned to connect with God in ways that actually work for who HE made ME to be.

If you've ever felt like you're not doing devotions "right" or that your relationship with God doesn't look like everyone else's, this episode is for YOU.

It's time to let go of the shoulds and discover what actually feeds your soul.

What You'll Learn:

✨ Why traditional "quiet time" doesn't work for everyone (and that's okay!)

💪 What a "spiritual workout" looks like and how to create your own

🏃‍♀️ How movement, dancing, and even naps can be part of intimacy with God

📖 Permission to skip scriptures that bring shame instead of empowerment

🧠 The mind-body-spirit connection you can't ignore

"You may have been your mom's accident, but you are not God's accident. You are here for such a time as this."

"I don't believe my thoughts until I move my body."

"Scripture was meant to empower you. If there are scriptures tearing your soul apart, don't read them right now."

"I'm so exhausted from trying to figure everything out on my own."

• Gentle morning movement (12-minute circuit)
• Brain dumping & intentional journaling
• Dancing to worship music
• Nature meditation walks (praying and listening prayer)
• Sauna time for body + soul
• Rest when needed (yes, naps!)

Are you ready to show up as the best version of yourself? Know you need support getting there? Schedule your complimentary call with Dani here.

Ever notice you show up as different versions of yourself depending on who you’re with or what’s going on? One version feels light and free — the “you” who laughs easily and feels close to God. Another feels heavy, guarded, or disconnected.

In this episode, I’m sharing how to recognize the versions of you that show up in different seasons — and how to gently choose the one that feels most peaceful, authentic, and you.

You’ll hear: ✨ Why it’s not inauthentic to have different “versions” of yourself ✨ How your environment shapes who shows up ✨ How to spend more time with the version of you that lights you up ✨ A prayer to help you return to peace

This isn’t about doing more. It’s about coming home to who God made you to be.

Much love,

Dani
