E. 36 Not Because I Have To — But Because I Want To
15 Plays1 month ago
In today’s episode, Danielle shares a raw and honest moment from the heart as she reflects on creating 36 episodes of Oh, There You Are. This isn't about chasing a paycheck or fame—it’s about purpose, passion, and showing up because it matters.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re pouring into something that isn’t “paying off” the way you hoped, this one’s for you.
We talk about:
- Why impact isn’t always measurable
- The lie of “falling behind” and why your pace is perfect
- What to do when you feel like you’ve lost your spark
- A reminder that your voice still matters—more than ever
This episode is a heart hug for anyone out there doing meaningful work behind the scenes. Keep going. You’re not alone. 💛

Introduction and Mission
00:00:00
Speaker
Hey friend, I'm so glad you're here. Welcome to all There You Are. This is the podcast for anyone who's ready to step out of the shadows of self-doubt and into the life they've always dreamed of.
00:00:13
Speaker
I'm your host, Danielle, a wife, mom, and registered nurse who spent way too long believing my voice didn't matter. But guess what? It does, and does yours.
00:00:25
Speaker
If you've been holding back, waiting for the perfect moment, or telling yourself you're not enough, this is your reminder you are more than enough. You've always been enough.
00:00:36
Speaker
Everything you need is already inside you. In this space, we're going to push past fear, stop hitting snooze on life, and start going after what we really want. Each week, I'll bring you solo episodes and interviews with people who had the courage to go first so that you can go next.
00:00:55
Speaker
So grab your favorite drink, settle in, and let's go. And hey, don't forget to hit subscribe so you never miss an episode because we're just getting started.
Purpose and Impact
00:01:05
Speaker
And remember, you're not late, you're right on time.
00:01:09
Speaker
And I can't wait to see where this journey takes us.
00:01:14
Speaker
Hey, Brynn, welcome back to all There You Are. Can you believe it? This is episode 36. 36 episodes of showing up, sharing stories, bringing light and speaking life.
00:01:29
Speaker
Not because I had to, but because I wanted to. This podcast, this space we've created, it's totally been a labor of love. I'm not out here making millions off this mic.
00:01:42
Speaker
I'm not even sure if I've made anything, but I can tell you this. I've gained something way more valuable. Purpose, connection, the joy of knowing that someone somewhere pressed play and felt seen.
00:01:59
Speaker
And that's everything. Some days, I'll be honest, I wonder, is this still worth it? Does anyone care? Am I even making a difference? And every time that doubt creeps in, I come back to this one truth.
00:02:15
Speaker
I've never started this to become famous. I started this to make someone feel less alone. That someone could be you. That someone was me. And maybe that someone hasn't even found the show yet.
00:02:30
Speaker
But I'll keep showing up, even if it's not perfect, even when I stumble, even when I feel like I'm losing touch. Because I believe in this mission. To wake you up to your own potential.
Aligning with Passion and Authenticity
00:02:44
Speaker
To remind you that your voice matters. To help you to stop hiding and to start living. So today, i just want to pause. Pause. to reflect, to remind us both of why we keep showing up, even when it's hard.
00:03:01
Speaker
Here's what I know to be true. You don't need to be making money to be making an impact. Sometimes the work you're doing in silence is building something that can't do be measured yet, and that's okay.
00:03:16
Speaker
Don't measure your purpose with someone else's metrics, right? If your heart feels alive when you're doing it, that's the wind. Joy is the strategy.
00:03:27
Speaker
Connection is the currency, right? And if you're waiting for the permission to go on and all in, to go, go do it. Friend, this is it.
00:03:38
Speaker
You have everything you need already within you. Your story, your gifts, your light. It's not an accident.
00:03:49
Speaker
So stop silencing yourself. Stop letting fear narrate your next move. I've shared this quote before and I'll share it again. The key to unlocking greatness lies in daring to ignite your passion, disrupt mediocrity, and boldly stand for what truly matters.
00:04:13
Speaker
So what truly matters to you? Let's stop chasing applause and start chasing alignment. Let's stop performing and let's start living.
00:04:26
Speaker
And I want to say this too, okay? If you've been second-guessing yourself, thinking you've lost your spark or feel like you're falling behind, i promise you, you have it.
00:04:40
Speaker
You're just in a season that's asking for presence, not pressure, right? A season that's about redefining and not rushing.
00:04:51
Speaker
There is no timeline on your transformations. There is no deadline on your dreams. We hear that over and over and over when somebody comes on here and shares their story.
00:05:03
Speaker
Everybody's alignment and timing has been unique to them. That is what makes you you, right? So you just keep showing up. You speak even when your voice shakes.
00:05:15
Speaker
You laugh when no one gets the joke. You move when you're unsure where it's going to lead. Because this world, It doesn't need more polished perfection.
00:05:29
Speaker
It needs more real. It needs you. ah You know, I sit here and I say these things and sometimes I wonder, ah um oh my gosh, I've just said it before. Like these thoughts for other people.
00:05:45
Speaker
But so many times we come to the drawing board and to write things down and they come out because we continue to speak to ourself. The world needs me too, right? It needs you. It needs me.
00:05:59
Speaker
We all are such important pieces
Gratitude and Final Encouragements
00:06:01
Speaker
of the puzzle. And without us, things just don't work right. So, friend, thank you for being here, for listening, for walking with me through 36 episodes, for reminding me I'm not alone either.
00:06:18
Speaker
and want to continue to make this a safe place And for a place for others to be able to share their voice and share their passions and to go first so somebody else can go next. To continue to be brave and let us walk through the messy together.
00:06:33
