In this week’s episode, Sheri and Nancy are joined by one of America’s leading healthy lifestyle experts, the fabulous Danette May. Danette is the living embodiment of what happens when you dream big even when it seems CRAZY.  Danette went from being a single mom struggling to make ends meet to running her own multi-million dollar empire in less than five years. Danette shares how she uses social media to reach a huge audience and why continuing to empower women to help them rise is her mission in life.

[13:16] Danette May shares her heartbreaking story of divorce, single motherhood, financial struggle and hopelessness and how she transformed it all into an empire.  

[18:44] It’s not just dwelling on our current reality that keeps us stuck deep in the mud, it’s our hidden limiting beliefs that are driving our choices. Those old stories live in our subconscious and we want to make sure they aren’t at the steering wheel.

[21:56] Danette still feels a great amount of fear, doubt, and anticipatory anxiety about upcoming projects, but she uses it for fuel to succeed and inspiration to dive in deeper and dream big anyway.

[23:40] Science shows that fear and excitement produce the same chemical result in our body, so one tip to move through fear or anxiety is to find a fun way to make it exciting. Nancy takes this approach when pitching big projects or running workshops.

[25:05] Danette knew that going the extra mile to follow her big dream was worth it and her soul’s calling, but she did it logically and incrementally. She waited until she had proven success in her own ventures before she dropped her 9-5 job, and built the muscle of discipline and focus along the way.

[28:30] Danette’s calling is to remind women that they have the power inside of them already to accomplish whatever it is, inside their personal recipe.

[30:10] Danette’s Three Pillars of Ultimate Success:

1. Healing Foods
2. Healing Movement
3. Healing Mindset

[30:46] Danette reframes Healthy and Healing Movement not only for the purpose of fitting in our skinny jeans, but to spike our energy, clean out the cobwebs, and release the feel-good hormones. As an added bonus, Healing Movement can bring on money-making ideas, expel the toxic energy and shift it into gratitude and focus.

[35:08] Danette has found a way to make social media of great service and value. She leveraged Facebook from the very beginning by providing amazing free content and then running ads to capture emails in exchange for her #1 Fat Burning Recipe.

[40:42] What is Danette’s special sauce for tapping into her own superpowers and connecting to what steps are right in her journey? Her morning practice that she calls soul writing. Every morning, Danette sits down with a journal and asks her soul what it wants to tell her today. She starts to write whatever comes up and does not judge or limit the answer. This exercise has helped her tap into her own inner wisdom, divine guidance and has also given her great business ideas.

[44:26] Danette’s book The Rise is available for pre-order now and is available in bookstores October 23.
