Piece of Work with Danielle Tantone
We’ve all looked at someone, shaking our heads in annoyance, disgust, or disbelief and muttering under our breath…“Boy, she’s a real piece of work!” But every time I hear myself feeling that way toward another person, a little voice inside me says, “Oh yeah, well who are you to judge? You’re the biggest piece of work around!” As I worked to write my memoir over so many years, trying to make sense of a story where I was way too often the bad guy instead of the hero, I came to understand that we are all a piece of work. But we’re also a work in progress. And even in our messiness, we are a work of art, too. All at the very same time. Life and work are beautiful and messy. This podcast will explore the stories and struggles that make us human, and all the ways we work to make sense of it all. Welcome to Piece of Work, the podcast.

Five years ago when I was considering going back to school to become a nurse in my mid-40s, I read a book called The Shift that gave me an amazingly accurate view into a day in the life of a nurse. It was my great honor to sit down with Theresa Brown, the author of that book.
Her third book, Healing: When a Nurse Becomes a Patient came out in paperback last month. It's a wonderful read about health and caring, breast...

This is the first episode I've ever recorded all by myself without anyone else to banter with and bounce things off of. Of course, I didn't run out of things to say. I think I may have even shared a little bit of wisdom. Listen as I share my thoughts about:
- My trip to NY and Ivy league college tour with my daughter
- Front porches
- Why I want to call my coaching system Refresh Renew Relate
- Picking up pennies
- Signs,...
I loved getting to sit down with author and influencer Ashleigh Renard. Her memoir, Swing has become somewhat of a manual for couples who want to keep their marriages hot.
When I met Ashleigh last year in Cathy Heller's Abundant Ever After program, I was instantly impressed by her energy and spunk, and the fact that she had recently published a memoir, which I was working on doing myself.
I started following...
Loved talking to my friend Dawn Brooks about so many things...from caring for her late husband with ALS, to finding your purpose, fitness as self care, and crushing your goals....
Dawn is a force to be reckoned with. You'll definitely want to listen to this inspiring episode.
I loved getting to sit down in person with my new friend and fellow memoirist, Anna-Marie O'Brien. We talked about the beauty of being in the middle, how we are all more alike than we are different, writing memoir, buried treasure at the library, and so much more.

When you think of TikTok, you may envision mostly twerking teenagers, but perhaps you've caught wind that TikTok is for grownups too, and can even be used for marketing. My friend Shelby actually sold more than 40,000 copies of her poetry book thanks to a couple of videos that went viral on TikTok.
Shelby Leigh is a 25-year-old poet, mental health advocate, and book marketing strategist who has been writing on the i...
For my first episode after a brief hiatus, I sat down with an old friend and colleague from the real estate industry, Jenni Vega, aka "Cutco Jenni."
We recently reconnected after she read my memoir and was impressed and inspired by my story. She said she wanted to know who my ghost writer was because she couldn't believe how well-written it was! In fact, she said she's now reading Prince Harry's m...

A breast cancer diagnosis can be life changing...but it's not all negative, especially if you catch it early. Three survivors chat about all the ways becoming part of the club no one ever chooses to join has changed their lives.
In my debut podcast episode, I sat down with Robin Cote, studio Director at Star Worldwide networks. She interviewed me to get things rolling and help people get to know me. We talked about books and podcasts, nursing and night shift, and how a successful career sometimes looks more like a jungle gym than a straight ladder. We even went deep into the themes of my first book, Piece of Work, a Memoir. We talked about faith and doubt...
