In this episode: I’m joined by Danielle Dill, the brilliant mind behind Behind the Scenes Genius, for a deeply honest and inspiring conversation about business, burnout, and building a life on your own terms. Danielle opens up about her personal IVF journey, the emotional toll of her husband’s near-death battle with COVID, and how these life-altering events led to a complete shift in how she approached her business. We talk about the importance of having a website you own—beyond social media—and why putting all your eggs in one basket online can be a risky move for entrepreneurs. Danielle also shares how she gave herself permission to pause, pivot, and rebuild with intention—turning burnout into a breakthrough. From the mindset shifts that helped her through the darkest chapters to the strategic moves she made in her business, this episode is full of real talk, actionable wisdom, and heartfelt perspective.
