Welcome to A HOLY MESS Podcast (ranked in the top 1% globally🎉), a podcast designed for you if you’re ready to break free and heal from self-doubt, burnout, and overgiving—so you can step into confidence, peace, God’s grace and purpose with clarity. Each week, I share biblical wisdom, mindset shifts, and real conversations to help you: ✨ Overcome self-doubt and fear with faith-based confidence. ✨ Let go of striving and perfectionism and embrace God’s grace. ✨ Set healthy boundaries and stop people-pleasing without guilt. ✨ Heal from burnout, shame, regret, and emotional exhaustion. ✨ Renew your mind with God’s truth and step into your purpose.

There’s hope, joy, peace, fun, purpose, and a reason that YOU are on this planet. If you’re ready to rediscover your worth, reconnect with God, and finally feel at peace, you’re in the right place.

  • 181. They don't matter as much as much as you think: Stop the Tyranny!
    Apr 1 2025

    Hi friend!

    I used to be soo controlled by others opinions of me. Until I embraced the life-changing truth: “Other people's opinions about me are NONE of my business.” Episode Highlights: - Why living under the tyranny of others' opinions keeps you from peace and joy - The only two relationships that truly matter: your relationship with God and yourself (after that, other relationships fall into place for the most part) - How healing these foundational relationships changes EVERYTHING else When you stop trying to control what others think of you and focus on healing your relationship with yourself, life becomes so much more enjoyable! You stand before an audience of ONE - God Almighty - and yourself. If you're tired of banging your head against the wall trying to prove yourself worthy to others, I can help! 🔗 BOOK YOUR FREE DISCOVERY CALL Keep showing up for yourself, friend. Remember, other people's opinions about you are NONE of your business! *yesss, I get how difficult it is to let those opinions go. But the goal is to not be so controlled by those who only know a fraction of your truth and story. With so much love and gratitude,

    Dani

  • 179. How Grace Givers Transform Your Entire Story. With Therapist Jim Beebe
    Mar 25 2025

    Today, Jim (my therapist) and I are talking about the importance of recognizing those special people who've been "beacons of light" in our lives. The ones who loved us back to life.

    I remember when I couldn't see or recognize the people from my past who were looking out for me along the way.

    That's why questions like the one Jim asked me in today's episode are so powerful!

    Who are your bright lights and beacons?

    I'm grateful you're here.

    May this Podcast be a bright light and beacon on your journey. God bless and much love, Dani

Glad I found you!

I found your podcast within the last six months or so. I was looking for some perspective and encouragement because I struggle with feelings and thoughts of faliure, regret, loss, and depression. Thank you for all the work you put into this!
