Welcome Wild One, I’m Danielle, D, or Dan.. depending on who’s talking.

I’m a Certified International Freedom Coach, Speaker, Equality Advocate, Podcast Host, and adventurous free(d) spirit with what could be considered a masters in outside the box thinking, a PhD in the power of play and new experiences, and an almost magical ability to transform the way you see yourself, your potential, your life and others. 

… Not exactly stock standard credentials, right?
Like you, I’m not a stock standard kinda human.

For most of my life, I, too, have felt like the odd one out.

While everyone else around me was fretting over career choices, pre-planning their perfect homes, marriage, babies and picket fences, I was dreaming about traveling the world and making a difference.

Call me crazy ( and many people have ) but I’ve always had a deep belief that our lives are meant to be steeped in the richness of adventures, creativity, freedom and Sovereignty of Self and connection to and with others.

I believe you were, I was, we are built for and deserve more… And that none of us are free until we all are.

My rebellion against the rules, the structures and stories that keep us disconnected from ourselves, our purpose, our passion and each other started at a young age from questioning my teachers, my parents and anything else that made me feel suffocated or resritced.

I was always told I was ‘too much’ of something.

So I enrolled in University because everyone was telling me it was the ‘right’ thing to do if I wanted to get a ‘decent’ job and be ‘successful’.

I come from a long line of creative adventurers. My family is from England, Zimbabwe and South Africa and they moved a lot before settling in Australia. Even though travel is in my blood, when it came time to choose my path in life; my truth, my wanderlust and my desire to make big meaningful impact in the world got trapped under all of the things I ‘SHOULD’ do, and so I made decisions to try and please everyone else instead. 

Ugggggh. Spoiler alert: It didn’t work. I felt like a caged bird.

So, at 19 I made the decision to pause my university studies and follow my cravings to explore and learn about the world through actually experiencing it.

I didn’t know what I was looking for, or where this decision was going to lead.. but I just knew there was something ‘more’ out there for me than the cookie cutter way we’re taught life ‘has’ to be lived.

That solo adventure morphed into what is now 12+ years of slowing traveling, volunteering and working through 57 countries and for some time calling 8 of them home.
