(00:02):
Well, welcome to our podcast. Did she really say that?
I am your host, Katrina Bonatz, and I'm super excited for this
conversation because ladies, as you know, in business, we start
businesses because of something that usually happens in our life
and then we evolve through that process.
So one of the things that reallycomes up as I talk with women
(00:22):
is, is it OK to pivot? Is it OK to evolve?
Can your business change? Does it have to stay the same?
And that's really why it's Danielle's with us today.
So Danielle's coming in from an expert standpoint of like what
she's built in her business. And then we're going to have a
candid conversation around what those pivots look like, what it
what had happened for her, giving you a sense of that it's
(00:45):
OK to breathe through transforming of yourself and
your business. So who is Danielle?
So Danielle is an award-winning pharmaceutical leader turned
health optimization strategist. She is absolutely known for
transforming the way people think about vitality, longevity
and living with purpose. How many of you resonate with
(01:05):
just that alone? As ACEO and Strategist visionary
partner of Momentum Integration Health Solution, Danielle helps
helps both individuals and healthcare providers.
This is key, provide access to cutting edge solutions that
merge the best of modern medicine with proven science
backed Wellness. And that's part of that journey,
(01:27):
right? It's like taking your life from
that corporate into your business and learning that.
With nearly two decades in the Pharmaceutical industry,
Danielle has advised top physicians launch breakthrough
therapies and build high performance teams.
Today, she channels that expertise into making advanced
healthcare accessible today, bringing personalized test based
(01:49):
nutrition, pharmaceutical grade peptides.
This is important for you ladies, and regenerative
therapies to clients who want tolook, feel and perform at their
best. And peptides, ladies, we're
hearing a lot about that for ourselves as we're transitioning
for through different seasons ofour lives.
This is a conversation that keeps coming up.
So I'm super excited to even kind of touch upon that here
(02:11):
with Danielle. She's also the founder of a
movement called It Didn't Crush Me.
Now this is a global platform that was born out of her own
journey of resilience. And we're going to talk a little
bit deeper about this particularpiece is if it didn't crush me
and how she's transitioning thisbrand and this this movement
into what she's doing now. And so it's going to be about
(02:35):
she's touched with audiences about conference.
She's been on conference stages to podcasts, airwaves, inspiring
high magnetic and visionaries. She's she's somebody that's
going to talk to you today in this episode around this
transition that it's OK to be there.
So whether she's collaborating with physicians, mentoring
(02:57):
entrepreneurs, or empowering hercommunity, she is relentless
about creating synergy that sparks true transformation.
And when she's not leading movements or speaking on health,
she can be found enjoying life along the treasured coast of
Florida with her amazing husbands, sons, and four
beautiful, amazing dogs. You might see her roaming around
(03:20):
pushing a stroller. That's the cat in that, not the
dog. Is that correct?
They're dog cats. They're dog cats.
She has a deep soul connection to Maui, travels often and
believes health is the ultimate freedom, which I highly agree
with and is the foundation for creating the next level of life.
(03:41):
So, Danielle, thank you so much for joining us here on Did She
Really Say That? Thank you so much for having me.
Oh my gosh, Like, did you reallysay all that about me?
I'm like, wow, like let me just sit up a little taller.
Isn't it feel good to kind of someone like, read back your
accolades and like what you've done?
You're like, oh, reflecting timelike that is me.
Oh my gosh, it so does, Yes. So because I think as women, we
(04:04):
need that kind of revalidation or we just centering for
ourselves around what we're doing and what we're creating as
a as a world of business and andas our life.
Yeah, I think I see. I think sometimes our quest for
humility ends up just completelydownplaying our talents because
we just don't want to shine too bright, right?
Like, you know, you don't want to be boastful.
(04:25):
But then really one of the things, one of the first things
I had to learn in business was how to speak highly of myself,
how to position myself as someone of authority or in a
position of authority. And it's like, wait a minute,
when you're a little girl, it's all about humility and don't be
boastful. Now it's like, well, now I have
to unlearn all of that. What?
(04:47):
But isn't that really what beinglike grown up is all about?
Is deconditioning and unlearningall the things so that you can
finally be the person that you were told not to be.
Yeah, it's so true because then as as little girls, we're we're
told behave this certain way, act a certain way, dress a
certain way, you know, this and this and this.
And so we do, we have been that conditioning.
And I know for you the human design is a big part of what you
(05:08):
do also. And so that's kind of like your
the self development, right? It's spending time to get to
know yourself. So what's that journey been like
for you? It, it's been beautiful.
I mean, I, it's certainly human design came into my world and I,
and now as a disclaimer, I do not teach it.
I know enough to be dangerous, but it is something that I do
(05:28):
live my life by because even as a little girl, young woman, my
mom and I would always look overhoroscopes.
So we were always interested andvery intrigued in astrology and
really human design for me was just the next iteration and
going a little bit deeper and learning a little bit more
because one of my super powers is the ability to be very, very
(05:49):
self aware. And until I learned about human
design, that self-awareness had a negative context in certain
ways. And I'll give you an example.
So I'm a classic manifesting generator.
I get bored with things really, really easily.
But the conditioning of that in the corporate world, when I was
in, you know, the 20 years that I spent in the pharmaceutical
world, maybe interviewing for another position, it was, well,
(06:12):
you know, we don't think that you're right for that role
because I think you get a littletoo bored too quick and I don't
think you really want to stick with anything versus now I'm
like, y'all have no idea what you missed out on.
If you want somebody that can pivot from bucket to bucket to
bucket without ever losing like their energy and we just don't
burn out as long as we have something to shift our energy
into and we'll come back like you want manifesting generators
(06:34):
on your team. I'm like, you know what?
It was their loss. Like now I embrace my ability to
pivot. They're like, how are you doing
so many things? I'm like, I need to I if you've
made me do the same thing every day over and over and over, I
would rather probably just slam my head into this glass window.
I see. It's so true because I find out
like women, like definitely leave the corporate world
(06:54):
because of that redundancy. It's like there is more to me
than just this mundane task thatyou have me redo over and over
and over again. It's like I need the challenge.
I need something else to do, so I love we talked about that.
So inside of that, I know that there was a pivotal moment for
you called. It didn't crush me.
So let's talk about that movement, what that that space
(07:15):
was for you and what had you create that?
Yeah, it really was. And I'll go back to October
19th, 2018 and it was the day that I got the phone call that I
was being let go from my job. And it also happened to be the
day and I found this out five days later that my ex-husband
completed suicide. So when I tell you my life
flipped upside down that there was a glitch in the matrix, the
(07:38):
date that the glitch took place actually on October 19th, but I
didn't find this out until I think it was like the 23rd or
24th. He had been missing and we
didn't know and I was helping tofind him.
And I will say ex-husband, right, because this change is
the dynamic of what that relationship looked like.
But as the police left my house at, I don't know, 12/30, 1:00 in
(08:01):
the morning, and it was all by myself and my parents were
already driving from Ohio 2 hours away to come help me pick
up the pieces. I just looked up.
I was standing in my kitchen sink after offering the officers
a vodka. Because what else do you do when
they're giving you that kind of information?
I'm like, like shaking, holding my glass of vodka.
(08:21):
I'm like, you guys want a drink?And they're like, no, we're
good, obviously. But you like, you're just like
this weird position. And so I look up and I'm like,
OK, God, I will not squander this opportunity that I have now
been given because I will be honest, I have, I had prayed
many days for that influence to be removed from my son's life.
We were exes for a reason. This was not a good
(08:44):
relationship. This was not a good influence
that my son would have had to contend with day in and day out.
And although I never prayed for the methodology, I just prayed
for that influence to be removed.
And so when God answered the prayer in a really ugly package,
truthfully, I said I won't squander this.
I will create something absolutely beautiful.
I will become the person that I'm supposed to be in this life
(09:07):
and I will not allow my son to hold on to darkness.
We will create something absolutely magically beautiful
from that. And that is truly where it
didn't crush me was born becauseliterally everything changed in
my world. But what was the opportunity is
we were able to, and granted, I was living in my dream home,
absolutely loved it. It was so safe for us.
After a horrific time with my ex, we picked up and we moved.
(09:31):
And so that we could blend families in Maryland with my now
husband and his boys because he was divorced there and two
different states, nobody was leaving their kids.
So it opened up this beautiful opportunity that I was able to
see almost instantly. And you know, that was really
the beginning of it didn't crushme.
And it just is this beautiful journey that people take.
(09:52):
And I don't want to just say women, because this also applies
to men, but it's this journey from resilience into surrender.
Because when your world gets rocked to that level, trust is
completely obliterated. You're running on faith and
fumes. You move into survival mode,
which means like hyper masculinity, I'm the only one I
(10:13):
can trust. Even if you can trust yourself,
I'm the only one that can get myself out of this constant
action. No flow maybe.
And and often times your faith is shattered depending on like
what exactly the situation is. But at some point, like after
this journey is going on, like you've got to be able to take
the gloves off and you've got tobe able to do the healing work
and you've got to understand if it's OK to trust again and re
(10:33):
and learn how to re trust yourself.
And that's kind of the other side of that, that journey from
resilience, the doing into the feminine of like the surrender
and the receiving. And and so that's, that's really
where this whole thing came about was taking people through
my journey, which matched so much of the inner journeys they
were going through. So how do you tap into that
feminine when you're going from such a pivotal, possibly
(10:58):
chaotic, traumatic experience? How do you like just even just
like a overview? It's like, because I know this
is not the primary, we're going to be talking about this shift
also for you and this pivot for you in the world of business.
But what does that journey look like to surrender?
It's a lot fucking harder than actually surviving.
And anybody who's been there, you know it, right?
(11:20):
The survival's easy, moving intoaction mode is easy.
Learning to surrender is the hardest part of all of it.
And that's what takes a lot of work.
And that's, I mean that that canbe if you were to slap a time
frame on it, it's approximately 3 years, which is approximately
the time that your body wants tostore that trauma if you were
someone who is actively focused on moving it out of your body.
(11:44):
So it's approximately about thatthree-year time frame.
Yeah. And I just wanted to kind of
have you pinpoint that because Ithink a lot of times you feel
like we are pressured to get over it, right, move on.
Like it's been blank amount of time kind of a thing.
And so I feel like we kind of get pushed through almost like
this. It's not even a grieving process
like you talk about, it's like asurrender process.
(12:04):
So it's it's the incident that happened and then who do you
become on the other side? And I feel like that's the
surrender in my kind of following along in that, that
thinking for you, what you brought people through.
It really is because ultimately,as you're kind of in that
pivotal moment and you're like, I know what I need to do, but
I'm not capable and I'm not ready to let the gloves down.
It's like you're constantly waiting for that other fight.
(12:26):
You're also in that masculine energy of that action.
You're really trying to rebuild this life that was ripped from
you because it wasn't your decision, right?
You end up in these positions. These things happen and I truly
believe it's because your soul is like, no, no, we need to go
through this process. Like this is what we came here
for and y'all weren't listening the first time and you really
didn't listen the second time. But we're gonna give you a
(12:47):
lesson. We're gonna clunk you over the
head. You're not going to be able to
ignore. And that's like, if you're
listening, like I know you know exactly what I'm talking about.
There were signs that we didn't hear to them.
And so it's really learning about, OK, I have to dive into
this. And at the very base of it, it's
learning to trust. And you might be learning to
(13:08):
trust others, But until you actively look to rebuild your
trust within yourself, that selftrust, to know that you can
trust the right people again, you can make the right
decisions, that you are smart enough, that you are enough,
that you do belong. All of those subconscious fears
that we have, it goes back to we've got to work on that trust
wound and then really kind of going into that work.
(13:30):
So not creating that life that that was ripped from you,
trusting that that was taken away for a reason.
And now it's time to get real with who you are, learn to love
who you be now, and start to build the life that you're
always meant to live. Do you go through that process
Cause something you said kind ofjust popped for me over here is,
(13:52):
you know, there were, there wereflags, there were warning signs.
There was. I mean, in some respects, I feel
like sometimes that there's little intuitions that you might
have kind of come across or shown up.
Do you feel as As for women? And I would say men probably
experiences too, but because we're talking primarily to women
here that we suppress that, thatwe kind of say they'll that
(14:13):
don't pay attention to it. Or is that something in that
journey that you kind of open upfor self trust?
I think we totally don't trust it.
A lot of times we ignore these, our intuition, we ignore those
gut feelings, right? Because we're sitting in that
masculine space, everybody, we all have masculine and feminine
energy and we all learn more oneway than the other.
(14:34):
The most evolved, healed versionof us, and I know you know these
things, is when we can truly blend the most beautiful
expression of both that masculine and that feminine
energy together. So we are truly being fully
divine, fully human all at once.But that's not an easy fucking
job to do until you've been forced to go into work and kind
of learn to do those things. Yeah.
(14:57):
And it is a work, right? I mean, in any type of personal
development, knowing that you'vegone through a lot of personal
development, a lot of inner workfor yourself, even though you've
just come recently out of a retreat at the time of this
recording, like there is always an ongoing development of self.
And I think that is the the beauty of it didn't crush me for
what you've created. And yet I find it fascinating.
(15:19):
When we first met, you're kind of like, yeah, that was a period
of time in my life. And I created programs and
processes and, and created, you know, income and everything else
from that. Now there was like this
evolving. So how did you kind of sit in
that space going, OK, I'm ready to close this chapter, but not
(15:41):
like not give up this brand thatI built, but how do I transition
this or evolve this into my nextpiece?
Like where was the space for that and how did you create it?
That was that was really interesting because you know,
one of the things that I've always talked about is really
expanding your capacity to hold and receive more right.
We always say, yes, we want to level up, but until we become
(16:01):
somebody who is fully expanded, who understands it's gonna take
more to receive more. That's not an easy thing to do.
And I remember like as I was putting together these It didn't
crush me experiences, which is still kind of the backbone of
what the IT didn't crush me movement is where we bring women
together, which now we're expanding to bring men together.
Also, because y'all need a voice, you need a platform
(16:22):
because your voices do deserve to be heard.
And we're all, I think we're collectively ready for that now,
as I was putting these, these experiences together, I mean,
and, and think about this beautiful journey.
I'm doing it in Hawaii last yearon Maui on a beautiful birthday
trip with me and my husband. And he doesn't even care that
I'm working because, and I don'tcare that I'm working because
I'm feeling the energy of the Hawaiian Islands, which to me
(16:45):
truly nourishes me and feels like home, like I've definitely
been there in lifetimes. But by the time we got and we
put these together, I was such adifferent person and I was
moving into a different place inspace and I was really I was
kind of struggling. I just but the thing that how I
get out of this is what is this showing me?
My question always goes back to what is this showing me?
(17:07):
So that I'm not trying to come up with an answer.
I'm trying to come up with an open-ended thing so that I'm
allowing that intuition to come in.
I'm allowing that that inspired answer to come in divinely for
me. And it really began to show me
like we've gone through that inner healing.
But if I look down and ladies and guys Physiology, it doesn't
lie. Like I can look at your body and
(17:28):
I can see it's your holding on to some stuff.
And I had released a lot of thatand my body was not at the same
healed point. And I was emotionally and I'm
like, how in the hell when I've gone through all of this, you
know, could I have continued to do the hard way with the body
and like kill myself at the gym?I could have.
(17:50):
But really what came to me was I've burned for this life.
I want to live this life like 2 standard deviations to the right
of the bell curve. I mean, tell me I'm a science
geek without me having to tell you.
Like I'm talking about two standard deviations to the right
of the bell curve. Like, OK, yeah, it's a geek.
But that's what I want to live my life extra on fire, what my
husband and I have been through to be together to create this
(18:12):
beautiful blended family, which that's fucking hard to do.
Also, if y'all have done that, it's like you've jumped from one
fire to 1 fire to 1 fire when it's time to work on my body.
Why are you fighting me? I'm not doing the hard anymore.
Is there an easy button? And that's really where it came.
Like no, you didn't crush me. Story is really still going
(18:34):
through. It's just the next iteration of
it is the body that's carrying this woman who has become, who
has a vault who has expanded or the man, right?
Because let's not leave them out.
Yeah, So what I'm hearing, and Ithink for your listeners that
are that I'm gonna kind of just bring this to a point, maybe
this hits home for you. But there is the journey when it
didn't crush me, where you've kind of gone through the mental,
(18:57):
the the emotional work. But then you look at the body
where it holds it and the body does hold trauma.
It does hold a lot of different things that happened to us.
And now you're sitting here going, OK, the brain and what I
have doesn't seem to match the body, which is what just
Danielle just said, right? It doesn't match who I know
myself to be. And so in that you can either
(19:21):
the main and whatever path you choose after listening to this
next part with this conversationwith Danielle is on you
completely. And there's multiple pathways to
this. But that then loving yourself
and saying, it didn't crush me. That evolution that Danielle's
talking about is, is does the body match the soul now?
(19:41):
And inside of that, there's a journey that you went on to not
just be a gym rat, right? Not just kind of do that work.
And I will tell you, ladies, first and foremost, the gym
isn't always our friend. And that we can adjust our
workload. We shouldn't be at it 24/7
pushing hard, which I think Danielle will talk about.
But in this there then became the next evolution, the health
(20:04):
evolution. So let's talk about that.
So tell me about, you know, this, the shift in business for
you because it is you, like you said, it's the next iteration.
It doesn't leave behind what you've done, it just brings it
forward to the next piece. It does.
It takes you, it takes you to the next level.
And so again, honoring the 1st 20 years of my, my adult career
(20:25):
in the Pharmaceutical industry, it gave me a really good, like
behind the scenes, a peek behindthe curtain as far as what goes
on in our medical system. Well, you don't.
Know I have to close my eyes. I'm peeking at you like, did you
look behind the curtain of our medical system?
Like, was it pretty? Right and and and and here's the
thing, right, love it or leave where we are in the current
(20:47):
state of our society and our politics.
RFK Junior is coming in and focused.
Maybe you don't love every decision, but we know that he is
trying to do what has not been done before, which is fix our
God bless it food supply and fixour medical system, which is
truly a sick care system. So this is such a perfect time.
(21:09):
And I was able to say like, waita minute, I'm needing my body to
shift and change. This man is trying to change
these standards, which we're notfully going to feel the effects
of these things for 30 to 50 years, but we got to start
somewhere, right? We can't let that say no, you
know, keep us from starting. And so I kept hearing the word
peptides. And I'm like, why is it all my
(21:30):
pretty Med spa women are on peptides?
And why do I keep hearing peptides like Jeremy Renner, the
guy from, I don't know, he's in one of the comic movies, Marvel.
Marvel he's the the Arrow. Guy yeah, wings or something?
Yeah, he's got the arrows. He's the one that does
everything. Yes, I know who you're talking.
About my husband would be so embarrassed and my son like you,
(21:52):
can you please just tell them who he is So and like you know
he healed through peptides. Aaron Rodgers, the football
player, you know, sliced his Achilles should have been out
for a year back in six months onpeptides.
And so I'm like, why are some ofthese smart people and then the
smartest Med spa owner that I know a very good friend of mine,
she's on the peptide. I'm like what am I missing?
Well, I realized, OMG, even though I spent some time in the
(22:17):
supplement world, right? Like when you come from
pharmaceuticals, you love the body, you love health nutrition.
I spent a lot of time in in supplements and I understand
manufacturing there and I understand white labeling and I
understand ingredients. You hear about peptides there
and then I get to know why are these pharmaceuticals?
Well, let me just break down foryou real simple everybody what a
peptide is. A peptide is a little signaling
(22:40):
messenger within your body. So everybody knows what insulin
is. We have insulin in our bodies.
It can easily become dysregulated.
Insulin is in and of itself a peptide.
So you have these peptides that your body makes and there's a
peptide that has all sorts of different signalling messages.
But a chain of 50 or less peptides is a Pro is no, a chain
(23:06):
of 50 or less amino acids is a peptide of chain of 50 or more
is a a protein. OK, so it is just they're
made-up of the same things as protein.
It's just a smaller chain of it.So that's how simple and how
much of A building block of our body peptides are.
But as we age, we just start making less.
(23:27):
And let me tell you, you age faster when you're carrying a
lot of stress when you're going through your, it didn't crush
your story. And some of us have been through
many of those. And so when your body is making
less of those and now your stress, your cortisol hormones
are all out of whack and now you're perimenopause and
hormones are naturally being outof whack and all sorts of other
things, your metabolic health and metabolic hormones are
(23:47):
crazy. Peptides are really the key
prescription strength ones that get your systems firing back on
all cylinders. And the difference between
injecting a prescription strength peptide that comes from
a medical Doctor Who prescribes you this prescription versus
something that comes in a littlepowdery potion of hope.
And it's pretty and it sounds sogood because it sounds way less
(24:10):
dangerous. I was on that bandwagon for a
very long time. You get a significantly
different response when you inject A pharmaceutical grade
prescription peptide. End of story.
It is night and day. And so when I found a safe
option for providing and connecting people to that, I ran
with it because it became life changing for me.
(24:30):
Yeah. And I think that just kind of
talking about the difference between a injection, an
injectable and a powder is powder is always gonna be
knocked down in potency like it's that's not how peptide gets
into your body. And so when you're talking about
an injectable and making sure that it is coming from a quality
pharmaceutical, which I have a feeling you've done your
(24:52):
research around this, because that is, I think the, the fear
of getting into this is just like, which one do I take?
Who do I trust? Where do I get it from?
You know, that is definitely a fear factor.
I think a lot of us have questions around.
So I, I love your simplicity of describing a protein versus a
(25:12):
peptide, because I think that isan absolute piece.
So again, take us forward in this pivot and saying, OK, now
peptides are part of my life. What did you do with this
knowledge? Because this is like the next
evolution of your business. So there's more to this story in
this next piece. There really is and I want it
(25:32):
and you know, so I mentioned insulin being a peptide, but the
other big peptide that everybodyis polarized on is weight loss
GLP ones, OK, that is a peptide.And so anytime you take anything
orally, your, the bioavailability in your body,
(25:53):
your body's ability to get it, receive it and it to do what
it's supposed to do, It's got togo through your stomach acid,
which is brutal. So you're not getting full
absorption. But in terms of, we call it
patient compliance, orals are somuch easier to get people to
take, right? And people get a little bit
nervous about a needle, but yourorals are not going to be as
(26:15):
sustainable within the body. I'm just going to give you this,
this example of a GLP one injection versus a GLP one
stimulating powder. The people who were in the
natural camp, right? Because I was rooted very, very
strongly. And it has to be natural because
I was motherfucking the pharmaceutical world that fired
me, right? So I had that like I had that
(26:38):
stigma and I was trying to market some GLP 1 activators in
the past. The difference is they're not
lying to you. I want to be clear, they're not.
Their marketing is not a lie because what they're having you
take does technically stimulate the production of natural GLP
one in your body because the amount that it's stimulating and
(27:00):
the length of time that that amount is available in your body
is minutes. And it cannot produce a
statistically significant resultin your body.
And it's not going to provide the weight loss.
And you're going to drink these lovely little pretty powders and
potions because they're sold with the hope that you're doing
it the right way. You're not going to harm
(27:21):
yourself. And there's sugars and there's
stevias in that. There's so much sugar in there.
Don't even get me started, girl.And it's not curbing your
appetite and it's not doing metabolically what you think
it's doing because it can't produce enough in enough amount
and stay enough in your body forthat to happen.
And I understand why you're going down that route because
there's some shame and some stigma taken with the easy
(27:43):
injection. And that's been why I carried it
from there's so much shame in your it didn't crush me journey
because people don't want to talk about their stories because
they hold on that sense of responsibility where there's so
much shame for people taking theeasy route.
But truly, you're changing your metabolic health.
And when I went down the rabbit hole of reading the clinical
studies and looking at the data,you know, these things have been
(28:05):
out for 20 years, 20 years. If there was significant safety
concerns, we would have heard about that a long time ago.
Yeah, we would have. It would have been.
It would have been gone already.It would have been gone already.
The reason you're hearing significant safety concerns
happening is because there is a black market for these products,
because people are desperate to feel better.
And in that black market, your products are not pure, they're
(28:27):
not potent, they're not safe, and people are desperate and
they're taking them. And you cannot go back to the
pharmaceutical manufacturer withany grievance.
You cannot put them in a lawsuit.
Everybody who is suing these companies right now has to prove
that they got the drug from the manufacturer and a significant
enough portion are going to get thrown out.
So I bring very safe peptides. And so there's there's two
(28:47):
things I want you to look at if you're thinking of ordering a
peptide and peptides, they're not just weight loss, they're
longevity, they're vitality, they're regenerative healing,
they're the glow up for your skin to produce, help you boost
collagen. There's two things you want
where you're getting it to whereyou're getting it from needs to
come from. And this is the type of pharmacy
(29:09):
it needs to be an NABP accredited pharmacy.
Now if you're in your doctor's office and they have a
relationship and they're sendingyour prescription somewhere,
you're really not going to be able to verify that the doctors
will be using A5O3A compounding pharmacy, which by nature is
reputable. PS It is reputable by nature,
(29:29):
but if you want to ensure the highest standards for 3rd party
testing, that pharmacy needs to be NABP certified.
And here's why. 90% of compounding pharmacies fail
third party testing when audited.
That is why so many of them do not even attempt to reach the
NABP certification. And it's really that simple.
(29:52):
So question around that, how many of the NABP are in
existence? I mean, is it a good amount that
we can save just or are these pharmaceuticals like a dumb a
dozen and they're hidden in likethird world, you know, other
worlds, countries kind of a thing?
Well, in the compounding in the compounding pharmacy industry,
and while there are lots of goodones, it really boils down to
(30:14):
where their source material is coming, source material is
coming from, and that source material is dependent on demand.
And that part, that pharmacy's relationship with a supplier,
OK, the person who created the pharmacy and had the dream of
providing great health solutionsfor people, right?
Like that dream, that mission, every pharmacy is going to have
one, even though it's a lucrative business, the person
(30:34):
who created that vision is not the person ordering the product
anymore. And so you've got to realize
like that person who's ordering the product is not educated on
those standards, don't have the skin in the game.
They are not the pharmacist. But there are, there's not a ton
that go for that NABP certification.
My platform, we only use the NABP certified pharmacies.
(30:54):
And I can tell you we're down tousing 2 right now.
And I believe there'll be 1/3 that we'll be adding and that is
a, that's a nationwide network that we have and we're talking
about two or three nationwide. So you went from transitioning
in from a it didn't crush me, which it was like coaching
processes and now you're gettinginto, which I thought was
fascinating, the telemedicine behind this plus what you're
(31:16):
doing. So what kind of transition was
that for your business? Like holy crap, talk about a
whole new level of growth for self and business and were you
terrified? I just kept saying, how do I
walk away from a brand that's sopersonal to me?
And I really just had to keep asking the questions like, how
(31:38):
does this really fit and how does this really flow?
And it really is, it's the next iteration of that You've burned
for this life. You freaking love your life,
right? Like I'm, And so let me just be
very clear. We are not providing medical
advice. I have a trusted telehealth
platform where a doctor will assess your medical necessity
and a doctor will prescribe these prescription peptides for
(32:01):
you. Think of me as a health
strategist. Think of me as a health
optimization coach. Even though I'm really not going
to hold your hand, I'm going to give you a lot of tools that you
can use down the road and you donot need me, but think of me
kind of as a consultant. I'm not providing the medical
advice. I will teach you about peptides.
I will teach you how to optimizeyour health.
Your doctor will be the one prescribing and giving medical
(32:25):
advice. So a little bit around that, I'm
just curious, So what was that process for you to I guess find
a vetted company? Like did you have a like a
protocol that you went through or some sort of like, how do you
find this, this company that youwant to partner with to bring
forth, you know, this next evolution of your business was
(32:45):
like, I'm kind of curious around, that's why I'm asking.
It's like, what did that strategy wind up thinking?
Were you vetting people? You know what did, what was?
What was that process? I will be honest because you
know, when you're aligned in alignment, things fall into your
lap, they come to you. This is true like inspired
action. And so the inspired action that
I took was to create a mission statement and start thinking
(33:06):
about what I wanted Momentum Integrative Health solutions to
be, to do how I wanted to grow and posture in terms of my
health. And this platform, telehealth
was not on my radar. I, I had set out to create
something that didn't exist to teach people how to.
Because if you think about it, how many of y'all are, are not
(33:27):
even touching your, your, your, your healthcare dollars because
we're all on high deductible plans.
We're paying out of pocket anyway.
How can you maximize the dollarsthat you're spending in the
medical system? Can you run certain labs
yourself? Like we should all know what lab
normal lab values should be. And that is not the red, yellow,
green on your lab values test. PS It's totally different than
(33:50):
that, right? But there's things that I can
teach people about how to take control so that you're not
giving that power to a doctor, right?
To crush me is all about taking your power back and becoming the
best version of you. So when you learn your health
should not be put in the hands of a medical provider, that's
for when you're straight up sick.
Yeah, if you don't need to be ignorant around your own health,
you need to know what you can and cannot do with your health
(34:12):
plan their credits, where it goes, the the what you can order
for yourself. And not everything has to be
done through your doctor, which most people don't know.
Tech wearables these days to give you your own health data.
I mean, that's a smart consumer.And people say like, you know,
you can get bogged down with technology.
Well, when it comes to your health, like you should know
your numbers, you, this is your,this is truly you taking back
(34:35):
your power, right? Because your health and your
vitality is your business. When you are really sick, that's
when you go to the doctor. I don't take my son to a
pediatrician anymore unless there's an illness.
I don't need a well check. I don't need someone to tell me
that he fits in a box. I'm good.
So it was really it's, it's, it's, it's a journey to take
your own power back, right? So I started to do that and I
(34:55):
realized I, I wasn't going to gowork for anybody else.
So I would create something thatdidn't exist.
And I'm really good at facilitating and I'm really good
at teaching and I am definitely a product expert.
So why not create my own consulting company?
And then I can bring this into businesses who also want to
scale, businesses who can also add these services so that they
(35:16):
themselves can advance patient impact while they're in there
outside of just our medical system.
And that's how telehealth came to me.
It just it did that is thank you, thank you, thank you.
Yeah, 'cause it's a beautiful journey in a, a transition as a,
as a woman, did you ever feel like you bumped up against
anything? I don't know.
The, what comes to mind is like anything sexist and trying to
(35:38):
build this type of business or butt up against like you can't
do that kind of a thing. And what you were designing,
there was nothing there. Because I hear the total
alignments, which is why I'm kind of like I'm asking, but I
have a feeling it's going to. The answer is going to be no.
There was never a can I really do this?
It was this is what I'm really good at.
Let me just make sure that I have and the the unique products
(36:03):
and services that we bring. I have vetted them.
I'm very very particular about what I will and will not partner
with because I've spent a lot oftime investigating and being
part of things that I would not want to recommend other people
anymore. Again, there is in this one.
I want people to walk away understanding there is no trophy
at the end for who endures the most suffering y'all like.
(36:25):
As long as I'm like, sometimes people feel like there should be
a trophy for who endures the most suffering, Yes.
Yeah. And it's like, listen, if the
natural way it is not working for you and you're in the gym
and you're eating clean and you're taking all the
supplements and you're not seeing a change in your body, it
is OK to allow yourself to try something different.
(36:45):
Yeah, truly. Yeah, there's so many different
modalities and, and ways out there you've got to be open to.
It's a curiosity, Bill. And I think that's really what's
fascinating about your story andthis journey.
And it was pretty much curiosity.
It was surrender. It was curiosity and it and it's
the receiving. And as women, literally for
(37:06):
those who are listening to surrender and receive are two of
the most unnatural states for usto be in.
And yet they're the most naturalstate of who we are at our core.
And so when you talk about designing a business, when you
can be like Danielle or learn from what she's just saying, not
necessarily be like her, but model what she's done,
(37:27):
surrender, receive and do the work for yourself.
And what I love about Danielle is that you've done a lot of the
vetting. Like I can hear the passion and
almost like the pissed off of this of it because of your
background in the Pharmaceuticalindustry.
You're like, no, I'm going to make sure.
And those are the, those are theyou, the gemstones, the
(37:48):
diamonds, the, the unique people, which is who we bring on
here to. Did she really say that?
Because those are the ones that are going to be looking out for
your best interest. It's not a ploy to get your
money. It's not a ploy to to switch and
bait. It's not a ploy to say, look
over here, but do this instead, right?
Like Danielle has given you everything and says, you know
(38:11):
what? This is what you need to be on
the lookout for. This is what you can do.
Like that is where she is your health strategist.
That's where Danielle comes intoplay is because she's going to
help guide you based on her years of knowledge.
So you don't have to learn this yourself, but you get to partner
with her and you get to say, OK,Danielle, this is where I'm at.
What's you know, And then try test it, right?
(38:33):
You're going to test for yourself.
You're going to find for yourself.
But now you have somebody that'sgot your best interest at heart.
Everything she's done and created I can feel over here has
been with pure intention, abundance, gratitude, and a way
to send more into the world to change lives.
When you find that human being in the world, listen in, follow
(38:58):
and connect. Thank you for that.
I mean, really, I know that whenpeople, and if you look at my
socials at all, you will hear mepreach very emphatically about
safety because this is a very highly unregulated industry in
terms of injectable peptides. And I, I, I, I take a lot of
(39:22):
liberties with what I say because just because you're a
physician, you're a prescribing Dr. may not be educated and
admit they're not, they're not educated on the compounding
pharmacy supply chain and the manufacturing and all the
chemistry of it. But that does not mean that
their lack of knowledge is necessarily OK, right?
(39:45):
Like we don't, we can't expect them to be everything.
So you can go do your research. That's what I'm telling you.
If it doesn't come from an NABP pharmacy, are you, is that
pharmacy one of the 10? Is that 10% that don't fail
third party testing? I don't know.
I'm not going to put play that game.
If biology is only 10%, I want to know that I'm that I can use
an NABP certified pharmacy. And I know that when clients,
(40:09):
they make another choice, they choose to go somewhere else.
I also know that I'm ringing in the back of their ear every time
they're picking up that needle in that vial and they're going,
OK, should I be doing this? And they're, they're hearing my
voice in the background. Because you're the advocate,
right? Like I hear you being called as
the advocate. There are Angel wings behind
you, right? And Angel wings and, and having
(40:32):
that presence in your space and just, you know, with what you've
done with human design, how you've embodied that.
There is the sense of being called to purpose and being
called to purpose. And she's she's an advocate for
your safety. Like, do you realize how rare
that is to have somebody be suchan advocate for your safety and
then go and find tools? And you know, she will always be
(40:54):
that advocate in some form or fashion.
That's what that's what Daniellewill always be.
And so I really, I love this conversation.
I love how your business has evolved.
I hear your passion. I hear your commitment to the
process. And I also hear your desire to
help more people understand whatdoes an injectable peptide look
(41:15):
like? What should you need to know
about that so you can make the best informed decision in this
process? Same thing as you went through
your business, right? You probably had trusted
advisors. You take you through this
process, you're vetting different people.
You know, that's your journey and it's beautiful.
So thank you for that. Thank you for having me here.
Yeah, so I know you've got a little gift for everyone as
(41:37):
'cause I know at the time of this recording there's still
some transition going for you, right?
There's still the evolution of your business as you're making
this move. So I know you've got a, a gift
for our our listeners to receive.
Can you talk to those a little more about?
That 100%. So we finally got the website up
right. Part of this part of this big
pivotal trans, this transition was taking the IT didn't Crush
(41:59):
Me parent brand and ensuring that this was not a platform for
coaching and healing because I'mreally not doing that right now.
I have a lot of people in my network that I am happy to refer
to. We are still committed to doing
it didn't crush Crush me events.And so if you go to
itdidntcrushme.com, you will read our story.
You will see how it transitions into the body, into that next
(42:20):
generation of you've done like you've burned for this life.
Don't live in a body that's holding you back.
But then we've actually built out the Momentum Integrative
Health Solutions website. So it does live within the IT
didn't crush me.com. Or you could just go to
momentumintegrativehealth.com because we dropped so I mean how
much and. Those notes are that that link
(42:42):
will be down in the show notes for everybody here.
So every link that everything hetalks about will be down in the
show notes. Wherever you're listening in,
there is a link down below to click.
So definitely click on those. I love that.
And so there is a health optimization quiz right on the
homepage of Momentum IntegrativeHealth.
So if you click on that, that isa free health optimization quiz
for you. It's about 30 questions.
(43:04):
So it's pretty comprehensive andI would love for you to take
that and you will get a personalized result from me.
If they're actually going to, I actually have to tag you in your
result because there was an automation that is kind of
missing, but it is there. The quiz is beautiful.
I would love for you to all go there.
And there's a lot of education on our website.
So we don't only do peptides, wedo some other foundational
(43:25):
health as well. And education is truly the core
of what I do. So you will see us evolve as we
move on. So get in now, evolve with
because with everything that is changing with in our Food and
Drug Administration, I really should think they need to be
separated and no longer together.
RIP those two buildings apart. And just with what Danielle has
(43:48):
talked with us today and shared on her journey of building this
business that transitions and her passion for helping you
become the next version of yourself in that transition.
Follow her, learn from her, you know, take the time to just
connect with her and see if thisis somebody that you know, you
want to connect deeper with. And then, if nothing else, take
(44:09):
the quiz, find out where you're at.
I think we're in the evolution of what human care is.
And we're, we're moving from thesick care and we're really
saying, hey, how do we, how do we rebuild and how do we do this
more safely and without all these drugs that seem to be
pumping out at a mile a minute out of our out of our systems
(44:30):
out there. So we truly appreciate you,
Danny. Thank you so much for spending
time with us. And I'm almost positive you
probably said a couple times, did she really say that?
The answer is yes. So stay tuned, listen in,
definitely follow Danielle, plugin and let follow her to your
heart's content. Let her know that you found her
from our podcast. Just drop her a line.
(44:52):
She'd love to hear from that too.
And so thank you again for joining us now.
It's been an absolute pleasure to have you here on our show.
Thank you so very much, I am so grateful for you.
Well, welcome to our podcast. Did she really say that?
I am your host, Katrina Bonatz, and I'm super excited for this
conversation because ladies, as you know, in business, we start
businesses because of something that usually happens in our life
and then we evolve through that process.
So one of the things that reallycomes up as I talk with women
(00:22):
is, is it OK to pivot? Is it OK to evolve?
Can your business change? Does it have to stay the same?
And that's really why it's Danielle's with us today.
So Danielle's coming in from an expert standpoint of like what
she's built in her business. And then we're going to have a
candid conversation around what those pivots look like, what it
what had happened for her, giving you a sense of that it's
(00:45):
OK to breathe through transforming of yourself and
your business. So who is Danielle?
So Danielle is an award-winning pharmaceutical leader turned
health optimization strategist. She is absolutely known for
transforming the way people think about vitality, longevity
and living with purpose. How many of you resonate with
(01:05):
just that alone? As ACEO and Strategist visionary
partner of Momentum Integration Health Solution, Danielle helps
helps both individuals and healthcare providers.
This is key, provide access to cutting edge solutions that
merge the best of modern medicine with proven science
backed Wellness. And that's part of that journey,
(01:27):
right? It's like taking your life from
that corporate into your business and learning that.
With nearly two decades in the Pharmaceutical industry,
Danielle has advised top physicians launch breakthrough
therapies and build high performance teams.
Today, she channels that expertise into making advanced
healthcare accessible today, bringing personalized test based
(01:49):
nutrition, pharmaceutical grade peptides.
This is important for you ladies, and regenerative
therapies to clients who want tolook, feel and perform at their
best. And peptides, ladies, we're
hearing a lot about that for ourselves as we're transitioning
for through different seasons ofour lives.
This is a conversation that keeps coming up.
So I'm super excited to even kind of touch upon that here
(02:11):
with Danielle. She's also the founder of a
movement called It Didn't Crush Me.
Now this is a global platform that was born out of her own
journey of resilience. And we're going to talk a little
bit deeper about this particularpiece is if it didn't crush me
and how she's transitioning thisbrand and this this movement
into what she's doing now. And so it's going to be about
(02:35):
she's touched with audiences about conference.
She's been on conference stages to podcasts, airwaves, inspiring
high magnetic and visionaries. She's she's somebody that's
going to talk to you today in this episode around this
transition that it's OK to be there.
So whether she's collaborating with physicians, mentoring
(02:57):
entrepreneurs, or empowering hercommunity, she is relentless
about creating synergy that sparks true transformation.
And when she's not leading movements or speaking on health,
she can be found enjoying life along the treasured coast of
Florida with her amazing husbands, sons, and four
beautiful, amazing dogs. You might see her roaming around
(03:20):
pushing a stroller. That's the cat in that, not the
dog. Is that correct?
They're dog cats. They're dog cats.
She has a deep soul connection to Maui, travels often and
believes health is the ultimate freedom, which I highly agree
with and is the foundation for creating the next level of life.
(03:41):
So, Danielle, thank you so much for joining us here on Did She
Really Say That? Thank you so much for having me.
Oh my gosh, Like, did you reallysay all that about me?
I'm like, wow, like let me just sit up a little taller.
Isn't it feel good to kind of someone like, read back your
accolades and like what you've done?
You're like, oh, reflecting timelike that is me.
Oh my gosh, it so does, Yes. So because I think as women, we
(04:04):
need that kind of revalidation or we just centering for
ourselves around what we're doing and what we're creating as
a as a world of business and andas our life.
Yeah, I think I see. I think sometimes our quest for
humility ends up just completelydownplaying our talents because
we just don't want to shine too bright, right?
Like, you know, you don't want to be boastful.
(04:25):
But then really one of the things, one of the first things
I had to learn in business was how to speak highly of myself,
how to position myself as someone of authority or in a
position of authority. And it's like, wait a minute,
when you're a little girl, it's all about humility and don't be
boastful. Now it's like, well, now I have
to unlearn all of that. What?
(04:47):
But isn't that really what beinglike grown up is all about?
Is deconditioning and unlearningall the things so that you can
finally be the person that you were told not to be.
Yeah, it's so true because then as as little girls, we're we're
told behave this certain way, act a certain way, dress a
certain way, you know, this and this and this.
And so we do, we have been that conditioning.
And I know for you the human design is a big part of what you
(05:08):
do also. And so that's kind of like your
the self development, right? It's spending time to get to
know yourself. So what's that journey been like
for you? It, it's been beautiful.
I mean, I, it's certainly human design came into my world and I,
and now as a disclaimer, I do not teach it.
I know enough to be dangerous, but it is something that I do
(05:28):
live my life by because even as a little girl, young woman, my
mom and I would always look overhoroscopes.
So we were always interested andvery intrigued in astrology and
really human design for me was just the next iteration and
going a little bit deeper and learning a little bit more
because one of my super powers is the ability to be very, very
(05:49):
self aware. And until I learned about human
design, that self-awareness had a negative context in certain
ways. And I'll give you an example.
So I'm a classic manifesting generator.
I get bored with things really, really easily.
But the conditioning of that in the corporate world, when I was
in, you know, the 20 years that I spent in the pharmaceutical
world, maybe interviewing for another position, it was, well,
(06:12):
you know, we don't think that you're right for that role
because I think you get a littletoo bored too quick and I don't
think you really want to stick with anything versus now I'm
like, y'all have no idea what you missed out on.
If you want somebody that can pivot from bucket to bucket to
bucket without ever losing like their energy and we just don't
burn out as long as we have something to shift our energy
into and we'll come back like you want manifesting generators
(06:34):
on your team. I'm like, you know what?
It was their loss. Like now I embrace my ability to
pivot. They're like, how are you doing
so many things? I'm like, I need to I if you've
made me do the same thing every day over and over and over, I
would rather probably just slam my head into this glass window.
I see. It's so true because I find out
like women, like definitely leave the corporate world
(06:54):
because of that redundancy. It's like there is more to me
than just this mundane task thatyou have me redo over and over
and over again. It's like I need the challenge.
I need something else to do, so I love we talked about that.
So inside of that, I know that there was a pivotal moment for
you called. It didn't crush me.
So let's talk about that movement, what that that space
(07:15):
was for you and what had you create that?
Yeah, it really was. And I'll go back to October
19th, 2018 and it was the day that I got the phone call that I
was being let go from my job. And it also happened to be the
day and I found this out five days later that my ex-husband
completed suicide. So when I tell you my life
flipped upside down that there was a glitch in the matrix, the
(07:38):
date that the glitch took place actually on October 19th, but I
didn't find this out until I think it was like the 23rd or
24th. He had been missing and we
didn't know and I was helping tofind him.
And I will say ex-husband, right, because this change is
the dynamic of what that relationship looked like.
But as the police left my house at, I don't know, 12/30, 1:00 in
(08:01):
the morning, and it was all by myself and my parents were
already driving from Ohio 2 hours away to come help me pick
up the pieces. I just looked up.
I was standing in my kitchen sink after offering the officers
a vodka. Because what else do you do when
they're giving you that kind of information?
I'm like, like shaking, holding my glass of vodka.
(08:21):
I'm like, you guys want a drink?And they're like, no, we're
good, obviously. But you like, you're just like
this weird position. And so I look up and I'm like,
OK, God, I will not squander this opportunity that I have now
been given because I will be honest, I have, I had prayed
many days for that influence to be removed from my son's life.
We were exes for a reason. This was not a good
(08:44):
relationship. This was not a good influence
that my son would have had to contend with day in and day out.
And although I never prayed for the methodology, I just prayed
for that influence to be removed.
And so when God answered the prayer in a really ugly package,
truthfully, I said I won't squander this.
I will create something absolutely beautiful.
I will become the person that I'm supposed to be in this life
(09:07):
and I will not allow my son to hold on to darkness.
We will create something absolutely magically beautiful
from that. And that is truly where it
didn't crush me was born becauseliterally everything changed in
my world. But what was the opportunity is
we were able to, and granted, I was living in my dream home,
absolutely loved it. It was so safe for us.
After a horrific time with my ex, we picked up and we moved.
(09:31):
And so that we could blend families in Maryland with my now
husband and his boys because he was divorced there and two
different states, nobody was leaving their kids.
So it opened up this beautiful opportunity that I was able to
see almost instantly. And you know, that was really
the beginning of it didn't crushme.
And it just is this beautiful journey that people take.
(09:52):
And I don't want to just say women, because this also applies
to men, but it's this journey from resilience into surrender.
Because when your world gets rocked to that level, trust is
completely obliterated. You're running on faith and
fumes. You move into survival mode,
which means like hyper masculinity, I'm the only one I
(10:13):
can trust. Even if you can trust yourself,
I'm the only one that can get myself out of this constant
action. No flow maybe.
And and often times your faith is shattered depending on like
what exactly the situation is. But at some point, like after
this journey is going on, like you've got to be able to take
the gloves off and you've got tobe able to do the healing work
and you've got to understand if it's OK to trust again and re
(10:33):
and learn how to re trust yourself.
And that's kind of the other side of that, that journey from
resilience, the doing into the feminine of like the surrender
and the receiving. And and so that's, that's really
where this whole thing came about was taking people through
my journey, which matched so much of the inner journeys they
were going through. So how do you tap into that
feminine when you're going from such a pivotal, possibly
(10:58):
chaotic, traumatic experience? How do you like just even just
like a overview? It's like, because I know this
is not the primary, we're going to be talking about this shift
also for you and this pivot for you in the world of business.
But what does that journey look like to surrender?
It's a lot fucking harder than actually surviving.
And anybody who's been there, you know it, right?
(11:20):
The survival's easy, moving intoaction mode is easy.
Learning to surrender is the hardest part of all of it.
And that's what takes a lot of work.
And that's, I mean that that canbe if you were to slap a time
frame on it, it's approximately 3 years, which is approximately
the time that your body wants tostore that trauma if you were
someone who is actively focused on moving it out of your body.
(11:44):
So it's approximately about thatthree-year time frame.
Yeah. And I just wanted to kind of
have you pinpoint that because Ithink a lot of times you feel
like we are pressured to get over it, right, move on.
Like it's been blank amount of time kind of a thing.
And so I feel like we kind of get pushed through almost like
this. It's not even a grieving process
like you talk about, it's like asurrender process.
(12:04):
So it's it's the incident that happened and then who do you
become on the other side? And I feel like that's the
surrender in my kind of following along in that, that
thinking for you, what you brought people through.
It really is because ultimately,as you're kind of in that
pivotal moment and you're like, I know what I need to do, but
I'm not capable and I'm not ready to let the gloves down.
It's like you're constantly waiting for that other fight.
(12:26):
You're also in that masculine energy of that action.
You're really trying to rebuild this life that was ripped from
you because it wasn't your decision, right?
You end up in these positions. These things happen and I truly
believe it's because your soul is like, no, no, we need to go
through this process. Like this is what we came here
for and y'all weren't listening the first time and you really
didn't listen the second time. But we're gonna give you a
(12:47):
lesson. We're gonna clunk you over the
head. You're not going to be able to
ignore. And that's like, if you're
listening, like I know you know exactly what I'm talking about.
There were signs that we didn't hear to them.
And so it's really learning about, OK, I have to dive into
this. And at the very base of it, it's
learning to trust. And you might be learning to
(13:08):
trust others, But until you actively look to rebuild your
trust within yourself, that selftrust, to know that you can
trust the right people again, you can make the right
decisions, that you are smart enough, that you are enough,
that you do belong. All of those subconscious fears
that we have, it goes back to we've got to work on that trust
wound and then really kind of going into that work.
(13:30):
So not creating that life that that was ripped from you,
trusting that that was taken away for a reason.
And now it's time to get real with who you are, learn to love
who you be now, and start to build the life that you're
always meant to live. Do you go through that process
Cause something you said kind ofjust popped for me over here is,
(13:52):
you know, there were, there wereflags, there were warning signs.
There was. I mean, in some respects, I feel
like sometimes that there's little intuitions that you might
have kind of come across or shown up.
Do you feel as As for women? And I would say men probably
experiences too, but because we're talking primarily to women
here that we suppress that, thatwe kind of say they'll that
(14:13):
don't pay attention to it. Or is that something in that
journey that you kind of open upfor self trust?
I think we totally don't trust it.
A lot of times we ignore these, our intuition, we ignore those
gut feelings, right? Because we're sitting in that
masculine space, everybody, we all have masculine and feminine
energy and we all learn more oneway than the other.
(14:34):
The most evolved, healed versionof us, and I know you know these
things, is when we can truly blend the most beautiful
expression of both that masculine and that feminine
energy together. So we are truly being fully
divine, fully human all at once.But that's not an easy fucking
job to do until you've been forced to go into work and kind
of learn to do those things. Yeah.
(14:57):
And it is a work, right? I mean, in any type of personal
development, knowing that you'vegone through a lot of personal
development, a lot of inner workfor yourself, even though you've
just come recently out of a retreat at the time of this
recording, like there is always an ongoing development of self.
And I think that is the the beauty of it didn't crush me for
what you've created. And yet I find it fascinating.
(15:19):
When we first met, you're kind of like, yeah, that was a period
of time in my life. And I created programs and
processes and, and created, you know, income and everything else
from that. Now there was like this
evolving. So how did you kind of sit in
that space going, OK, I'm ready to close this chapter, but not
(15:41):
like not give up this brand thatI built, but how do I transition
this or evolve this into my nextpiece?
Like where was the space for that and how did you create it?
That was that was really interesting because you know,
one of the things that I've always talked about is really
expanding your capacity to hold and receive more right.
We always say, yes, we want to level up, but until we become
(16:01):
somebody who is fully expanded, who understands it's gonna take
more to receive more. That's not an easy thing to do.
And I remember like as I was putting together these It didn't
crush me experiences, which is still kind of the backbone of
what the IT didn't crush me movement is where we bring women
together, which now we're expanding to bring men together.
Also, because y'all need a voice, you need a platform
(16:22):
because your voices do deserve to be heard.
And we're all, I think we're collectively ready for that now,
as I was putting these, these experiences together, I mean,
and, and think about this beautiful journey.
I'm doing it in Hawaii last yearon Maui on a beautiful birthday
trip with me and my husband. And he doesn't even care that
I'm working because, and I don'tcare that I'm working because
I'm feeling the energy of the Hawaiian Islands, which to me
(16:45):
truly nourishes me and feels like home, like I've definitely
been there in lifetimes. But by the time we got and we
put these together, I was such adifferent person and I was
moving into a different place inspace and I was really I was
kind of struggling. I just but the thing that how I
get out of this is what is this showing me?
My question always goes back to what is this showing me?
(17:07):
So that I'm not trying to come up with an answer.
I'm trying to come up with an open-ended thing so that I'm
allowing that intuition to come in.
I'm allowing that that inspired answer to come in divinely for
me. And it really began to show me
like we've gone through that inner healing.
But if I look down and ladies and guys Physiology, it doesn't
lie. Like I can look at your body and
(17:28):
I can see it's your holding on to some stuff.
And I had released a lot of thatand my body was not at the same
healed point. And I was emotionally and I'm
like, how in the hell when I've gone through all of this, you
know, could I have continued to do the hard way with the body
and like kill myself at the gym?I could have.
(17:50):
But really what came to me was I've burned for this life.
I want to live this life like 2 standard deviations to the right
of the bell curve. I mean, tell me I'm a science
geek without me having to tell you.
Like I'm talking about two standard deviations to the right
of the bell curve. Like, OK, yeah, it's a geek.
But that's what I want to live my life extra on fire, what my
husband and I have been through to be together to create this
(18:12):
beautiful blended family, which that's fucking hard to do.
Also, if y'all have done that, it's like you've jumped from one
fire to 1 fire to 1 fire when it's time to work on my body.
Why are you fighting me? I'm not doing the hard anymore.
Is there an easy button? And that's really where it came.
Like no, you didn't crush me. Story is really still going
(18:34):
through. It's just the next iteration of
it is the body that's carrying this woman who has become, who
has a vault who has expanded or the man, right?
Because let's not leave them out.
Yeah, So what I'm hearing, and Ithink for your listeners that
are that I'm gonna kind of just bring this to a point, maybe
this hits home for you. But there is the journey when it
didn't crush me, where you've kind of gone through the mental,
(18:57):
the the emotional work. But then you look at the body
where it holds it and the body does hold trauma.
It does hold a lot of different things that happened to us.
And now you're sitting here going, OK, the brain and what I
have doesn't seem to match the body, which is what just
Danielle just said, right? It doesn't match who I know
myself to be. And so in that you can either
(19:21):
the main and whatever path you choose after listening to this
next part with this conversationwith Danielle is on you
completely. And there's multiple pathways to
this. But that then loving yourself
and saying, it didn't crush me. That evolution that Danielle's
talking about is, is does the body match the soul now?
(19:41):
And inside of that, there's a journey that you went on to not
just be a gym rat, right? Not just kind of do that work.
And I will tell you, ladies, first and foremost, the gym
isn't always our friend. And that we can adjust our
workload. We shouldn't be at it 24/7
pushing hard, which I think Danielle will talk about.
But in this there then became the next evolution, the health
(20:04):
evolution. So let's talk about that.
So tell me about, you know, this, the shift in business for
you because it is you, like you said, it's the next iteration.
It doesn't leave behind what you've done, it just brings it
forward to the next piece. It does.
It takes you, it takes you to the next level.
And so again, honoring the 1st 20 years of my, my adult career
(20:25):
in the Pharmaceutical industry, it gave me a really good, like
behind the scenes, a peek behindthe curtain as far as what goes
on in our medical system. Well, you don't.
Know I have to close my eyes. I'm peeking at you like, did you
look behind the curtain of our medical system?
Like, was it pretty? Right and and and and here's the
thing, right, love it or leave where we are in the current
(20:47):
state of our society and our politics.
RFK Junior is coming in and focused.
Maybe you don't love every decision, but we know that he is
trying to do what has not been done before, which is fix our
God bless it food supply and fixour medical system, which is
truly a sick care system. So this is such a perfect time.
(21:09):
And I was able to say like, waita minute, I'm needing my body to
shift and change. This man is trying to change
these standards, which we're notfully going to feel the effects
of these things for 30 to 50 years, but we got to start
somewhere, right? We can't let that say no, you
know, keep us from starting. And so I kept hearing the word
peptides. And I'm like, why is it all my
(21:30):
pretty Med spa women are on peptides?
And why do I keep hearing peptides like Jeremy Renner, the
guy from, I don't know, he's in one of the comic movies, Marvel.
Marvel he's the the Arrow. Guy yeah, wings or something?
Yeah, he's got the arrows. He's the one that does
everything. Yes, I know who you're talking.
About my husband would be so embarrassed and my son like you,
(21:52):
can you please just tell them who he is So and like you know
he healed through peptides. Aaron Rodgers, the football
player, you know, sliced his Achilles should have been out
for a year back in six months onpeptides.
And so I'm like, why are some ofthese smart people and then the
smartest Med spa owner that I know a very good friend of mine,
she's on the peptide. I'm like what am I missing?
Well, I realized, OMG, even though I spent some time in the
(22:17):
supplement world, right? Like when you come from
pharmaceuticals, you love the body, you love health nutrition.
I spent a lot of time in in supplements and I understand
manufacturing there and I understand white labeling and I
understand ingredients. You hear about peptides there
and then I get to know why are these pharmaceuticals?
Well, let me just break down foryou real simple everybody what a
peptide is. A peptide is a little signaling
(22:40):
messenger within your body. So everybody knows what insulin
is. We have insulin in our bodies.
It can easily become dysregulated.
Insulin is in and of itself a peptide.
So you have these peptides that your body makes and there's a
peptide that has all sorts of different signalling messages.
But a chain of 50 or less peptides is a Pro is no, a chain
(23:06):
of 50 or less amino acids is a peptide of chain of 50 or more
is a a protein. OK, so it is just they're
made-up of the same things as protein.
It's just a smaller chain of it.So that's how simple and how
much of A building block of our body peptides are.
But as we age, we just start making less.
(23:27):
And let me tell you, you age faster when you're carrying a
lot of stress when you're going through your, it didn't crush
your story. And some of us have been through
many of those. And so when your body is making
less of those and now your stress, your cortisol hormones
are all out of whack and now you're perimenopause and
hormones are naturally being outof whack and all sorts of other
things, your metabolic health and metabolic hormones are
(23:47):
crazy. Peptides are really the key
prescription strength ones that get your systems firing back on
all cylinders. And the difference between
injecting a prescription strength peptide that comes from
a medical Doctor Who prescribes you this prescription versus
something that comes in a littlepowdery potion of hope.
And it's pretty and it sounds sogood because it sounds way less
(24:10):
dangerous. I was on that bandwagon for a
very long time. You get a significantly
different response when you inject A pharmaceutical grade
prescription peptide. End of story.
It is night and day. And so when I found a safe
option for providing and connecting people to that, I ran
with it because it became life changing for me.
(24:30):
Yeah. And I think that just kind of
talking about the difference between a injection, an
injectable and a powder is powder is always gonna be
knocked down in potency like it's that's not how peptide gets
into your body. And so when you're talking about
an injectable and making sure that it is coming from a quality
pharmaceutical, which I have a feeling you've done your
(24:52):
research around this, because that is, I think the, the fear
of getting into this is just like, which one do I take?
Who do I trust? Where do I get it from?
You know, that is definitely a fear factor.
I think a lot of us have questions around.
So I, I love your simplicity of describing a protein versus a
(25:12):
peptide, because I think that isan absolute piece.
So again, take us forward in this pivot and saying, OK, now
peptides are part of my life. What did you do with this
knowledge? Because this is like the next
evolution of your business. So there's more to this story in
this next piece. There really is and I want it
(25:32):
and you know, so I mentioned insulin being a peptide, but the
other big peptide that everybodyis polarized on is weight loss
GLP ones, OK, that is a peptide.And so anytime you take anything
orally, your, the bioavailability in your body,
(25:53):
your body's ability to get it, receive it and it to do what
it's supposed to do, It's got togo through your stomach acid,
which is brutal. So you're not getting full
absorption. But in terms of, we call it
patient compliance, orals are somuch easier to get people to
take, right? And people get a little bit
nervous about a needle, but yourorals are not going to be as
(26:15):
sustainable within the body. I'm just going to give you this,
this example of a GLP one injection versus a GLP one
stimulating powder. The people who were in the
natural camp, right? Because I was rooted very, very
strongly. And it has to be natural because
I was motherfucking the pharmaceutical world that fired
me, right? So I had that like I had that
(26:38):
stigma and I was trying to market some GLP 1 activators in
the past. The difference is they're not
lying to you. I want to be clear, they're not.
Their marketing is not a lie because what they're having you
take does technically stimulate the production of natural GLP
one in your body because the amount that it's stimulating and
(27:00):
the length of time that that amount is available in your body
is minutes. And it cannot produce a
statistically significant resultin your body.
And it's not going to provide the weight loss.
And you're going to drink these lovely little pretty powders and
potions because they're sold with the hope that you're doing
it the right way. You're not going to harm
(27:21):
yourself. And there's sugars and there's
stevias in that. There's so much sugar in there.
Don't even get me started, girl.And it's not curbing your
appetite and it's not doing metabolically what you think
it's doing because it can't produce enough in enough amount
and stay enough in your body forthat to happen.
And I understand why you're going down that route because
there's some shame and some stigma taken with the easy
(27:43):
injection. And that's been why I carried it
from there's so much shame in your it didn't crush me journey
because people don't want to talk about their stories because
they hold on that sense of responsibility where there's so
much shame for people taking theeasy route.
But truly, you're changing your metabolic health.
And when I went down the rabbit hole of reading the clinical
studies and looking at the data,you know, these things have been
(28:05):
out for 20 years, 20 years. If there was significant safety
concerns, we would have heard about that a long time ago.
Yeah, we would have. It would have been.
It would have been gone already.It would have been gone already.
The reason you're hearing significant safety concerns
happening is because there is a black market for these products,
because people are desperate to feel better.
And in that black market, your products are not pure, they're
(28:27):
not potent, they're not safe, and people are desperate and
they're taking them. And you cannot go back to the
pharmaceutical manufacturer withany grievance.
You cannot put them in a lawsuit.
Everybody who is suing these companies right now has to prove
that they got the drug from the manufacturer and a significant
enough portion are going to get thrown out.
So I bring very safe peptides. And so there's there's two
(28:47):
things I want you to look at if you're thinking of ordering a
peptide and peptides, they're not just weight loss, they're
longevity, they're vitality, they're regenerative healing,
they're the glow up for your skin to produce, help you boost
collagen. There's two things you want
where you're getting it to whereyou're getting it from needs to
come from. And this is the type of pharmacy
(29:09):
it needs to be an NABP accredited pharmacy.
Now if you're in your doctor's office and they have a
relationship and they're sendingyour prescription somewhere,
you're really not going to be able to verify that the doctors
will be using A5O3A compounding pharmacy, which by nature is
reputable. PS It is reputable by nature,
(29:29):
but if you want to ensure the highest standards for 3rd party
testing, that pharmacy needs to be NABP certified.
And here's why. 90% of compounding pharmacies fail
third party testing when audited.
That is why so many of them do not even attempt to reach the
NABP certification. And it's really that simple.
(29:52):
So question around that, how many of the NABP are in
existence? I mean, is it a good amount that
we can save just or are these pharmaceuticals like a dumb a
dozen and they're hidden in likethird world, you know, other
worlds, countries kind of a thing?
Well, in the compounding in the compounding pharmacy industry,
and while there are lots of goodones, it really boils down to
(30:14):
where their source material is coming, source material is
coming from, and that source material is dependent on demand.
And that part, that pharmacy's relationship with a supplier,
OK, the person who created the pharmacy and had the dream of
providing great health solutionsfor people, right?
Like that dream, that mission, every pharmacy is going to have
one, even though it's a lucrative business, the person
(30:34):
who created that vision is not the person ordering the product
anymore. And so you've got to realize
like that person who's ordering the product is not educated on
those standards, don't have the skin in the game.
They are not the pharmacist. But there are, there's not a ton
that go for that NABP certification.
My platform, we only use the NABP certified pharmacies.
(30:54):
And I can tell you we're down tousing 2 right now.
And I believe there'll be 1/3 that we'll be adding and that is
a, that's a nationwide network that we have and we're talking
about two or three nationwide. So you went from transitioning
in from a it didn't crush me, which it was like coaching
processes and now you're gettinginto, which I thought was
fascinating, the telemedicine behind this plus what you're
(31:16):
doing. So what kind of transition was
that for your business? Like holy crap, talk about a
whole new level of growth for self and business and were you
terrified? I just kept saying, how do I
walk away from a brand that's sopersonal to me?
And I really just had to keep asking the questions like, how
(31:38):
does this really fit and how does this really flow?
And it really is, it's the next iteration of that You've burned
for this life. You freaking love your life,
right? Like I'm, And so let me just be
very clear. We are not providing medical
advice. I have a trusted telehealth
platform where a doctor will assess your medical necessity
and a doctor will prescribe these prescription peptides for
(32:01):
you. Think of me as a health
strategist. Think of me as a health
optimization coach. Even though I'm really not going
to hold your hand, I'm going to give you a lot of tools that you
can use down the road and you donot need me, but think of me
kind of as a consultant. I'm not providing the medical
advice. I will teach you about peptides.
I will teach you how to optimizeyour health.
Your doctor will be the one prescribing and giving medical
(32:25):
advice. So a little bit around that, I'm
just curious, So what was that process for you to I guess find
a vetted company? Like did you have a like a
protocol that you went through or some sort of like, how do you
find this, this company that youwant to partner with to bring
forth, you know, this next evolution of your business was
(32:45):
like, I'm kind of curious around, that's why I'm asking.
It's like, what did that strategy wind up thinking?
Were you vetting people? You know what did, what was?
What was that process? I will be honest because you
know, when you're aligned in alignment, things fall into your
lap, they come to you. This is true like inspired
action. And so the inspired action that
I took was to create a mission statement and start thinking
(33:06):
about what I wanted Momentum Integrative Health solutions to
be, to do how I wanted to grow and posture in terms of my
health. And this platform, telehealth
was not on my radar. I, I had set out to create
something that didn't exist to teach people how to.
Because if you think about it, how many of y'all are, are not
(33:27):
even touching your, your, your, your healthcare dollars because
we're all on high deductible plans.
We're paying out of pocket anyway.
How can you maximize the dollarsthat you're spending in the
medical system? Can you run certain labs
yourself? Like we should all know what lab
normal lab values should be. And that is not the red, yellow,
green on your lab values test. PS It's totally different than
(33:50):
that, right? But there's things that I can
teach people about how to take control so that you're not
giving that power to a doctor, right?
To crush me is all about taking your power back and becoming the
best version of you. So when you learn your health
should not be put in the hands of a medical provider, that's
for when you're straight up sick.
Yeah, if you don't need to be ignorant around your own health,
you need to know what you can and cannot do with your health
(34:12):
plan their credits, where it goes, the the what you can order
for yourself. And not everything has to be
done through your doctor, which most people don't know.
Tech wearables these days to give you your own health data.
I mean, that's a smart consumer.And people say like, you know,
you can get bogged down with technology.
Well, when it comes to your health, like you should know
your numbers, you, this is your,this is truly you taking back
(34:35):
your power, right? Because your health and your
vitality is your business. When you are really sick, that's
when you go to the doctor. I don't take my son to a
pediatrician anymore unless there's an illness.
I don't need a well check. I don't need someone to tell me
that he fits in a box. I'm good.
So it was really it's, it's, it's, it's a journey to take
your own power back, right? So I started to do that and I
(34:55):
realized I, I wasn't going to gowork for anybody else.
So I would create something thatdidn't exist.
And I'm really good at facilitating and I'm really good
at teaching and I am definitely a product expert.
So why not create my own consulting company?
And then I can bring this into businesses who also want to
scale, businesses who can also add these services so that they
(35:16):
themselves can advance patient impact while they're in there
outside of just our medical system.
And that's how telehealth came to me.
It just it did that is thank you, thank you, thank you.
Yeah, 'cause it's a beautiful journey in a, a transition as a,
as a woman, did you ever feel like you bumped up against
anything? I don't know.
The, what comes to mind is like anything sexist and trying to
(35:38):
build this type of business or butt up against like you can't
do that kind of a thing. And what you were designing,
there was nothing there. Because I hear the total
alignments, which is why I'm kind of like I'm asking, but I
have a feeling it's going to. The answer is going to be no.
There was never a can I really do this?
It was this is what I'm really good at.
Let me just make sure that I have and the the unique products
(36:03):
and services that we bring. I have vetted them.
I'm very very particular about what I will and will not partner
with because I've spent a lot oftime investigating and being
part of things that I would not want to recommend other people
anymore. Again, there is in this one.
I want people to walk away understanding there is no trophy
at the end for who endures the most suffering y'all like.
(36:25):
As long as I'm like, sometimes people feel like there should be
a trophy for who endures the most suffering, Yes.
Yeah. And it's like, listen, if the
natural way it is not working for you and you're in the gym
and you're eating clean and you're taking all the
supplements and you're not seeing a change in your body, it
is OK to allow yourself to try something different.
(36:45):
Yeah, truly. Yeah, there's so many different
modalities and, and ways out there you've got to be open to.
It's a curiosity, Bill. And I think that's really what's
fascinating about your story andthis journey.
And it was pretty much curiosity.
It was surrender. It was curiosity and it and it's
the receiving. And as women, literally for
(37:06):
those who are listening to surrender and receive are two of
the most unnatural states for usto be in.
And yet they're the most naturalstate of who we are at our core.
And so when you talk about designing a business, when you
can be like Danielle or learn from what she's just saying, not
necessarily be like her, but model what she's done,
(37:27):
surrender, receive and do the work for yourself.
And what I love about Danielle is that you've done a lot of the
vetting. Like I can hear the passion and
almost like the pissed off of this of it because of your
background in the Pharmaceuticalindustry.
You're like, no, I'm going to make sure.
And those are the, those are theyou, the gemstones, the
(37:48):
diamonds, the, the unique people, which is who we bring on
here to. Did she really say that?
Because those are the ones that are going to be looking out for
your best interest. It's not a ploy to get your
money. It's not a ploy to to switch and
bait. It's not a ploy to say, look
over here, but do this instead, right?
Like Danielle has given you everything and says, you know
(38:11):
what? This is what you need to be on
the lookout for. This is what you can do.
Like that is where she is your health strategist.
That's where Danielle comes intoplay is because she's going to
help guide you based on her years of knowledge.
So you don't have to learn this yourself, but you get to partner
with her and you get to say, OK,Danielle, this is where I'm at.
What's you know, And then try test it, right?
(38:33):
You're going to test for yourself.
You're going to find for yourself.
But now you have somebody that'sgot your best interest at heart.
Everything she's done and created I can feel over here has
been with pure intention, abundance, gratitude, and a way
to send more into the world to change lives.
When you find that human being in the world, listen in, follow
(38:58):
and connect. Thank you for that.
I mean, really, I know that whenpeople, and if you look at my
socials at all, you will hear mepreach very emphatically about
safety because this is a very highly unregulated industry in
terms of injectable peptides. And I, I, I, I take a lot of
(39:22):
liberties with what I say because just because you're a
physician, you're a prescribing Dr. may not be educated and
admit they're not, they're not educated on the compounding
pharmacy supply chain and the manufacturing and all the
chemistry of it. But that does not mean that
their lack of knowledge is necessarily OK, right?
(39:45):
Like we don't, we can't expect them to be everything.
So you can go do your research. That's what I'm telling you.
If it doesn't come from an NABP pharmacy, are you, is that
pharmacy one of the 10? Is that 10% that don't fail
third party testing? I don't know.
I'm not going to put play that game.
If biology is only 10%, I want to know that I'm that I can use
an NABP certified pharmacy. And I know that when clients,
(40:09):
they make another choice, they choose to go somewhere else.
I also know that I'm ringing in the back of their ear every time
they're picking up that needle in that vial and they're going,
OK, should I be doing this? And they're, they're hearing my
voice in the background. Because you're the advocate,
right? Like I hear you being called as
the advocate. There are Angel wings behind
you, right? And Angel wings and, and having
(40:32):
that presence in your space and just, you know, with what you've
done with human design, how you've embodied that.
There is the sense of being called to purpose and being
called to purpose. And she's she's an advocate for
your safety. Like, do you realize how rare
that is to have somebody be suchan advocate for your safety and
then go and find tools? And you know, she will always be
(40:54):
that advocate in some form or fashion.
That's what that's what Daniellewill always be.
And so I really, I love this conversation.
I love how your business has evolved.
I hear your passion. I hear your commitment to the
process. And I also hear your desire to
help more people understand whatdoes an injectable peptide look
(41:15):
like? What should you need to know
about that so you can make the best informed decision in this
process? Same thing as you went through
your business, right? You probably had trusted
advisors. You take you through this
process, you're vetting different people.
You know, that's your journey and it's beautiful.
So thank you for that. Thank you for having me here.
Yeah, so I know you've got a little gift for everyone as
(41:37):
'cause I know at the time of this recording there's still
some transition going for you, right?
There's still the evolution of your business as you're making
this move. So I know you've got a, a gift
for our our listeners to receive.
Can you talk to those a little more about?
That 100%. So we finally got the website up
right. Part of this part of this big
pivotal trans, this transition was taking the IT didn't Crush
(41:59):
Me parent brand and ensuring that this was not a platform for
coaching and healing because I'mreally not doing that right now.
I have a lot of people in my network that I am happy to refer
to. We are still committed to doing
it didn't crush Crush me events.And so if you go to
itdidntcrushme.com, you will read our story.
You will see how it transitions into the body, into that next
(42:20):
generation of you've done like you've burned for this life.
Don't live in a body that's holding you back.
But then we've actually built out the Momentum Integrative
Health Solutions website. So it does live within the IT
didn't crush me.com. Or you could just go to
momentumintegrativehealth.com because we dropped so I mean how
much and. Those notes are that that link
(42:42):
will be down in the show notes for everybody here.
So every link that everything hetalks about will be down in the
show notes. Wherever you're listening in,
there is a link down below to click.
So definitely click on those. I love that.
And so there is a health optimization quiz right on the
homepage of Momentum IntegrativeHealth.
So if you click on that, that isa free health optimization quiz
for you. It's about 30 questions.
(43:04):
So it's pretty comprehensive andI would love for you to take
that and you will get a personalized result from me.
If they're actually going to, I actually have to tag you in your
result because there was an automation that is kind of
missing, but it is there. The quiz is beautiful.
I would love for you to all go there.
And there's a lot of education on our website.
So we don't only do peptides, wedo some other foundational
(43:25):
health as well. And education is truly the core
of what I do. So you will see us evolve as we
move on. So get in now, evolve with
because with everything that is changing with in our Food and
Drug Administration, I really should think they need to be
separated and no longer together.
RIP those two buildings apart. And just with what Danielle has
(43:48):
talked with us today and shared on her journey of building this
business that transitions and her passion for helping you
become the next version of yourself in that transition.
Follow her, learn from her, you know, take the time to just
connect with her and see if thisis somebody that you know, you
want to connect deeper with. And then, if nothing else, take
(44:09):
the quiz, find out where you're at.
I think we're in the evolution of what human care is.
And we're, we're moving from thesick care and we're really
saying, hey, how do we, how do we rebuild and how do we do this
more safely and without all these drugs that seem to be
pumping out at a mile a minute out of our out of our systems
(44:30):
out there. So we truly appreciate you,
Danny. Thank you so much for spending
time with us. And I'm almost positive you
probably said a couple times, did she really say that?
The answer is yes. So stay tuned, listen in,
definitely follow Danielle, plugin and let follow her to your
heart's content. Let her know that you found her
from our podcast. Just drop her a line.
(44:52):
She'd love to hear from that too.
And so thank you again for joining us now.

Thank you so very much, I am so grateful for you.
