In this solo episode, Danielle shares what led her to step away from social media—and what she’s been learning in the space it created. From navigating early motherhood to closing down her programs, this season has been one of quiet, reflection, and re-evaluation. She explores the challenges and gifts of being offline, the unexpected things she’s missed, and how this break has shifted her perspective on presence, identity, and connection. If you’ve been feeling the pull to slow down or rethink your relationship with being “seen,” this episode offers a thoughtful take on what can happen when you step back. What you'll hear about: Why Danielle chose to leave social media for now How becoming a mother shifted her priorities The impact of noise, distraction, and always being “on” What stepping back revealed about ego, identity, and value The simple things she misses—and what she doesn’t How it’s helped her connect more meaningfully with people in real life A reminder to model the presence we want to pass on Links to Danielle's Work: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thedaniellereedy/  TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thedaniellereedy  Join my Newsletter: www.daniellekettlewell.com/links 

In this episode I share a recent emotional breakthrough during my postpartum journey that cracked me open to a new truth: we don't grieve our growth enough. We celebrate milestones, push forward, and aim higher—but rarely do we give ourselves permission to pause and feel the weight of what we’re leaving behind. I explore the primal need to grieve not only loss, but evolution. I speak to the power of vulnerability, the strength in our tears, and the beauty of creating space to honor every version of ourselves—especially the ones we’re outgrowing. What I Cover: The underrated necessity of grieving growth—not just breakups or endings, but even our own expansion. A postpartum breakthrough that helped me see how much I needed to mourn parts of my former self. Tears are not weakness—they’re power, release, and healing. Vulnerability is not a liability; it’s where true breakthroughs happen. Society often skips over the emotional transitions that come with growth—but grieving is primal, healthy, and powerful. You don’t have to label something as “bad” to feel sad about it ending. Making peace with your past self is a sacred step in embodying your next level. Reframing grief as a sign of evolution, not regression. Why emotional release is part of embodiment, especially in big life transitions like motherhood.   Links to Danielle's Work: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thedaniellereedy/  TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thedaniellereedy  Join my Newsletter: www.daniellekettlewell.com/links   

In this episode, I share what’s been stirring behind the scenes since becoming a mother — and why I’ve made the bold decision to retire every single program I’ve ever created.
