Description

Do you have the audacity to live life on your own terms?

Danielle Roberts, known as the Anti-Career Coach, joins me for a raw and inspiring conversation about redefining our relationship to work, navigating grief, and choosing authenticity. Danielle shares her journey of becoming sober, the lessons she’s carried from losing her mom at a young age, and how those experiences shaped her philosophy on work, joy, and boundaries.

We explore the toxicity of hustle culture, why leadership training is desperately lacking, how women can align work with their natural cycles, and the importance of creating community and psychological safety in the workplace. This is an episode about audacity, authenticity, and learning to live a life you’re proud of — not just a career.
