This episode features Danielle Jacobs, a talented comedian, actress, singer, and dancer. Danielle shares her honest and raw story of where she comes from, her childhood, and the difficult life experiences that formed who she is today. Very often, we look at people who are more public and assume that we know about their makeup and background because of how they seem- if you look at Danielle, you might assume that she has a perfect life; she's talented, beautiful, and funny. When you hear this episode, you'll hear how much she's been through, including some of the challenges she's had to overcome, including her parent's divorce and then remarrying each other, being forced to hold back from fully expressing herself, rediscovering herself as an adult with a young family and more. You'll be inspired and relate to different things she's been through in your own way, and I hope you can apply some of her valuable life advice to your own life.
