Hey there, beautiful souls! I'm beyond excited to share this incredible conversation I had with the amazing Cait Scudder. We dove deep into what it really means to "have it all" as a multi-passionate coach and mama.

Cait opened up about her journey, sharing how she went from hiding behind her brand to embracing her full, messy, beautiful self. We talked about the power of authenticity in building a magnetic community and how showing up as your true self can transform your business and your life.

Get ready for some real talk about balancing motherhood with entrepreneurship, the importance of investing in support, and why sometimes the simplest strategies are the most effective. Cait's wisdom on creating content that resonates and building a business that aligns with your values is pure gold.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone who's ever felt like they're juggling too many balls or struggling to show up authentically online. Cait's honesty and insights left me feeling inspired and empowered, and I know you will too.

I can’t wait for you to listen!!!

Muah!

EP 14: Balancing motherhood, business, and self while redefining 'Having It All' w/ Cait Scudder

In today’s episode, I interview an old friend and colleague, Cindy Owen. Following the death of a close friend’s child, Cindy found herself on the journey of learning how to cope with the abruptness of life. Cindy became a certified psychotherapist and eventually decided to acquire a coaching certification (among others). Cindy and I have always had a different approach to business - hers has always been more credentialed, and I’ve always subscribed to the idea that if you have genuine experience with transformation and have an energetic shift to offer, that’s enough. What I hope the listeners get from this episode is an understanding that the road that’s right for you as you start your service-based career has little to do with which path you choose (credentialed or experiential only) but why you choose it.

Neither is better than the other, and it’s up to you to decide which provides you with true inner freedom because that will be the right one for you.

I can’t wait for you to listen!!!

Muah!

Hey there, beautiful souls!

In today’s 2023 vault episode I had the most incredible conversation with the amazing Elaina Ray, and I'm literally buzzing with excitement to share it with you.

Elaina is not just a business coach – she's a force of nature who's been there, done that, and helps others create the life and business of their dreams.

In the episode, Elaina takes us on her journey from corporate America to spiritual seeker in India, and how she built her coaching business from the ground up.

We dive deep into what it really takes to build a successful coaching business. Elaina doesn't sugarcoat it, but she also shows us that it's totally possible with the right mindset and strategies.

She talks about things like why you shouldn't stress about your Instagram bio, and how to really connect with your clients in a way that makes them feel seen and understood.

I know so many of you are on your own healing and entrepreneurial journeys, and this episode is going to light a fire under you.

Elaina's energy is contagious, and her insights are game-changing. Whether you're just starting out or you've been in the game for a while, you're going to find something in this conversation that speaks directly to your soul.

So grab your favorite drink, find a cozy spot, and let's dive in. I promise you, it's going to leave you feeling inspired, empowered, and ready to take on the world.

Let’s go!!!

Join Elaina Ray and me as we explore the topic of using your voice to declare what you really want, allowing yourself to become open enough to receive, and not getting caught in old worthiness validation loops amid your journey home to your authentic self.

You know there’s more waiting out there for you.

All you need is a path, and this episode is a gorgeous place to start (if I do say so myself)!

See you inside.

🖤 Dana

EP 12: Live streams and dream clients: Visibility in the coaching world w/ Elaina Ray

There’s only one pre-requisite for becoming a modern-day healer.

It isn’t a degree, a certification, or anything you can learn from a book.

It’s living your truth, in your wholeness, as the Light that you are.

Today’s episode is my story. It’s a story about how I used to live my life in a constant state of defense.

How I used people, drugs, alcohol, and even thinking to numb the pain of my very existence.

It’s a story of desperately wanting to help others but needing to learn how to help myself first.

This is the story of what life was like for me before I got out of my head and began to live from my heart.

It was a painful time, not just for me but for many others as well.

I grew up repeating the mantra, “Everyone has their vice,” to myself, justifying my escape routes until one day, I woke up from the nightmare and stepped into the dream that was waiting for me all along.

If your mission in life is to be of service and to help other people heal, there are some golden nuggets in this episode about how you, too can clear yourself out to become the constant channel for your higher self and light to flow through which of course, is the only pre-req for being a modern day healer.

Connect with me  HERE [https://www.instagram.com/daring_to_be_dana/] and tell me what you loved most about this episode and what resonated deeply.

Join me in the upcoming (free) Unbothered Masterclass to learn a little-known but wildly effective mind-healing method to let go of negative thoughts in 10 minutes or less!!

EP 11: A proven path to help others heal (even if you feel like you have more healing to do yourself)

Your voice is meant to be used so that your desires can be heard and responded to accordingly.

By your lover and laws of It All.

But for that to happen, it’s essential to understand why no one seems to be listening.

Have you ever stood in the kitchen after a long day and pondered how easy it seems for your mate to plop down on the couch, scroll mindlessly through SM, and watch the game while their dinner is prepared by a personal chef just feet away?

“Must be nice,” you think to yourself.

But also, there must be a reason for this dynamic.

Cue the rigorous honesty…

How many times have you voiced that you’d love some help with the food prep so you can get done quicker and have more time to do literally anything else than cook?

How often have you allowed him (or her) to stand next to you at the counter and chop imperfect onion bits or peel cucumbers and potatoes?

And how often does he (or she) ask you for “help”?

To be his partner, to love him, to hug him, to hold his hand and kiss him?

The truth is, you might say you want to be held, embraced, and cared for, but if you don’t ask for these things, you don’t have the opportunity.

You might say you want money, clients, and creative direction, yet realistically, if you don’t use your voice and ask for these things, you don’t allow yourself the opportunity.

But why?

Why would we ever hesitate to ask for the multi-dimensional abundance this world has to offer?

And more importantly, how do we open ourselves up to accepting it like the partner who accepts homecooked meals four times a week without hesitation?

This is precisely what we cover in today’s episode of The Modern Day Healer podcast.

Join Nicola Navon and me as we explore the topic of using your voice to declare what you really want, allowing yourself to become open enough to receive, and not getting caught in old worthiness validation loops amid your journey home to your authentic self.

You know there’s more waiting out there for you.

All you need is a path, and this episode is a gorgeous place to start (if I do say so myself)!

See you inside.

EP 10: Using your voice to declare your desires, accepting real love, and escaping co-dependent validation loops w/ Nicola Navon

When I first started my online business (a decade ago!) I used to have this one niggling fear that stopped me from doing my job more times than I can count.

It was the fear that I wasn’t “professional” enough to be a business coach. Cue all of the images of corporate America with their tweed jackets and conservative slacks. I tried that life, and it wasn’t for me. So I couldn’t figure out how to find the happy middle between being me and being who I thought you wanted me to be.

"Is my hair brushed? Can I wear these jean shorts? Will people care if I’m still in my bathing suit cover-up after swimming with the kids?"

The thought of a polished Amy Porterfield pops into my head, with her scripts and ironed shirt tucked neatly into her probably very clean pants while I’m over here scraping some crusty baby food off the front of mine.

“Should I do it? What will they think? Will they take me seriously? I hope so…because this is all I got.” 

These are the real thoughts I had before I came to the conclusion that actually, the people who come to me like me because I’m me. They feel comfortable taking off their mask because they see me taking off mine. And sometimes it ain’t pretty. But the point of what we do as mentors isn’t to continue building a facade, it’s to break it down so others feel inspired to do the same.

My friend (and basically neighbor), Jessica Hawks, has built her massive online presence and multimillion-dollar business around what makes her most unique, not what might help her fit in.

This episode is jam-packed with ideas for how to show up more authentically online as well as how to find your niche (the people who want what you’ve got in the way that you have it), plus super simple strategies for how to use TikTok to expedite the process of finding your fans. It’s crazy good.

I hope you love today’s episode as much I did!!

Muah!

EP 09 - A relaxed approach to hitting the first $1M + 912.5k followers on TikTok w/ Jessica Hawks (Vault episode)

What if there was a way to feel so ridiculously confident in your abilities to go out there and help others heal that you could finally make the decision to stop tip toeing around and start WORKING your magic today?

I’m talking using your God-given gift to share the experiences of Truth you have to offer (in whatever way lights you up)  to help thousands thrive and RECEIVE money for your service in exchange.

And lots of it. More of it. More than you’ve ever received before…

In today’s raw and delectable episode, I interview Nikki Ananda, a beautiful, embodied example of what happens when you put your spiritual healing practices where your mouth is, HA! The topics we cover today are highly flavored with sex, vulnerability, and the concept of becoming a “receiver” (literally and figuratively) in your life and business.

The magic of this conversation is the discovery that all healing runs parallel to itself at some point. So no matter where you begin, as long as you take action and make it a priority to build your spiritual perception muscle (we give highly detailed advice for what practices you can employ for yourself in the episode if you haven’t got any yet!) the capacity to hold more of the richness of life (ahem, hello passion, money and love!) in any form WILL come to you…it’s just a matter of time.

EP 08 - Giving into your sexual bliss and increasing your capacity to receive w/ Nikki Ananda

In today’s episode (recorded over a year ago!) I had the opportunity to sit down with one of my business heroes, Ray Edwards.

What’s it like when the person you’ve looked up to for almost a decade for their prowess in business, their laundry list of absolute rockstar clients (ahem, Tony Robbins, Micheal Hyatt and Jack Canfield to name just a few…but nbd) and their uncanny ability to turn words into dollars sits across from you on Zoom as a guest on your podcast you ask?? Honestly, I couldn’t tell you because I blacked out from overwhelming excitement and don’t have a recollection…just kidding. It was like a fcking dream come true that’s what. We talked about the road to becoming an example for others of what’s possible in this lifetime, how Parkinsons Disease and alcoholism (or any other road block out of your control) can be the exact path to your life’s greatest gifts, how addiction has a funny way of affecting us all in some way or another and how it’s the great equalizer in many ways, reminding us that we’re all one at the end of the day and what’s possible for Ray is possible for me and what’s possible for me is possible for you. I couldn’t be more thrilled for this episode that’s been sitting quietly in the vault for so long to be released into the wild where it belongs. I hope you get as much from our conversation today as I did. As Ray eludes to in the episode, you never know what person, discussion, or event will be the catalyst that’ll get you to where you ultimately want to be, but my hope is this raw sharing between the two of us could be it for you.

EP 06 - Secrets of manifestation and magnetism I wish I’d known before I started my online business w/ Autumn Richardson

Welcome to this week’s episode of the Modern Day Healer podcast! In today’s episode, we welcome Odree Martin, a spiritual and self-integration mentor who stumbled upon language as a major pathway to spiritual awakening and embodiment after realizing her young daughter is (thus far) non-verbal. She believes that modern-day healers who can use their voices must do so with intention and responsibility to heal themselves and the world around them.

Discover profound insights on harnessing the creative power of your voice through practices like journaling, reframing negative self-talk, and receiving feedback with vulnerability. Odree emphasizes that as you build a heart-centered business, you must learn to wield your words as a modern-day healer - with empathy, curiosity, and a deep reverence for the oneness that unites us all. Whether you're just starting your entrepreneurial path or you’re an established leader, this episode will inspire you to embrace authentic communication as the gateway to living your truth.

Prepare to be uplifted, challenged, and forever impacted by Odree’s wisdom on using conscious language to create the world you wish to see.

EP 05 - How your words create worlds: the creative power behind your words, and how to use them to build a life you love w/Odree Martin

Dana Hayes's Show

I believe we are all healers. Healing isn't reserved for the 'holy few' and all it takes is an unblocking of that awareness for the modern-day healer to be born. 

I call this podcast the "Modern-Day Healer" because she is all of us. She's a mother, a wife, and a lover of personal development, philosophy, spirituality, business, and fun.

She's a multi-faceted, multi-passionate human who experiences life just like the rest of us but has learned how to live life on life's terms...to take FULL responsibility for her own happiness and empowerment and realizes that the ultimate path to freedom is by getting out of her own way and allowing her healed self to lead.

She still experiences the same ups and downs as everyone else, but she has the tools (and, most importantly, uses them) to quickly and without reserve get back to her higher (healed) self.

This is the Modern-Day Healer. She is me. And she is you.

All my love,

❤ Dana

The Modern-Day Healer is a show dedicated to inspiring and guiding today's healers, guides, and mentors to go all in on their Soul's calling to help others heal.

With the core ethos that you're already a fully healed human and have everything you need to help others experience that truth for themselves, Dana Hayes will show you how she cleared away any lingering thoughts that once blocked her from embodying this reality for herself, and how you can do the same.

In addition to hearing Dana's personal trials, tribulations, and triumphs in the healing industry (so you can avoid the pitfalls and get on the fast path to success), you'll have access to priceless interviews with successful leaders who can share what methods, tools, and experiences helped them become the successful healers they are today.

You never know what path, process, or modality could change everything for you—to give you the confidence, empowerment, and genuine clarity it takes to see yourself as who and what you truly are—the modern-day healer.

Dana Hayes
