Welcome back to Happy & Healthy! In this super honest episode, I sit down with my longtime friend and fellow content creator, Dani Austin Ramirez. We go way back — like 2014 YouTube quirky days 😂 — and wow, has her life transformed.
Dani opens up about what it really means to “have it all” as an influencer, mom of (almost) four, and founder of Divi. She shares her journey from burnout and people-pleasing to finding real joy in the mundane moments of motherhood. We talk about mental health, faith, the pressure to be a “girl boss,” and what it’s like to be “canceled” online.
She also gets super vulnerable about how blowing up her life (yes, for real!) helped her reconstruct it around what really matters — her faith, family, and values. This one’s for any woman wrestling with identity, purpose, and what it actually looks like to slow down in a hustle culture.
If you’ve ever felt like your worth is tied to productivity, or if you're a new mama (or mama-to-be!) trying to do it all, this is a must-listen. 🫶
