Today's guest is The Queen Bee herself, Ms. Dani Wallace! 


Dani is a speaking coach who runs the I Am The Queen Bee community and The Big Festoon event. 


She delivers confidence. She delivers encouragement. She delivers badassery. But what she truly delivers, at the root of all she does, is to deliver the message that success can feel safe.


Her event, The Big Festoon, certainly does that. Her community does that. She's even got a documentary film, “The Festoon Effect,”  about what she does and the message she's spreading.


Dani definitely comes across as someone who is fully confident in the value of her own message and in her own authority to do what she's doing out here–but, as you'll hear, she's just like the rest of us deep down. She experiences self-doubt and energetic crashes. But she also recognizes the importance of the message she’s here on this earth to deliver, and the empowerment the sense of community she creates brings to others.
