Danielle de Leon is a powerful soul. At 15, she was diagnosed with cancer. As she so aptly says in our interview, “cancer will either make you or break you”. With the wisdom of knowing this choice existed, she made sure it did NOT break her. Instead, she used the diagnosis and ensuing journey to turn inward and began an inner journey that has outwardly led to becoming a yoga instructor, high performance drone pilot (and instructor), and teacher of consciousness and emotional intelligence. She uses her passion, positivity, curiosity and creativity to contribute to the world. She's a beautiful embodiment of shining bright in the world!
Danielle is a multi-passionate entrepreneur. She’s a videographer (via flying complex drones) and video editor with Birds Eye of Big Sky where she’s worked on projects with Google, National Geographic and the United Nations to name a few. She’s also the founder of Pilot EQ, a company that uniquely combines drone technical training with specific training around emotional intelligence to increase a pilots ability to fly and make decisions under pressure. She’s also a certified yoga instructor where she teaches at The Yoga Room of Montana in Kalispell, MT. She’s passionate about conscious conversations and shares her perspective and journey on Facebook at Danielle de Leon.

In this episode, Danielle mentioned working on the series Courage to Question with Google and the United Nations, a Virtual Reality series that takes you up close and personal with women's rights activists across the globe as they fight for a world where women and girls can live free and equal. You can find videos from series here on YouTube.
Note: Please excuse the audio quality. I ran into technical issues during set up and thought I had them worked out, but in post production I learned that was not the case. There is a low level static in the background but our voices are still clear. I encourage you to listen because it’s very much worth your time…Danielle is incredible!
