About Danielle
  • This is where your story shifts…

    I’m on a mission to share stories of hope and resilience that inspire people of all backgrounds to rise, heal, and believe in what’s possible.

    Welcome friend, it’s lovely to see you

    I’m a media-trained storyteller, nationally recognized communicator, and grounded voice of hope with real-world credibility. My work spans red carpets and recovery, national campaigns and intimate coaching spaces. People don’t just come to me for strategy—they come for my presence, perspective, and ability to bring light, clarity, and deep connection to every room, conversation, and brand I touch.

    For more than two decades, I’ve built a career rooted in powerful storytelling and authentic connection. As a former TV news anchor and red carpet correspondent, I’ve interviewed some of the world’s most recognizable names—from celebrities and professional athletes to authors, musicians, and political figures. My work has taken me coast-to-coast, covering the Olympics, the Pro Bowl, the Home Run Derby, the Academy of Country Music Awards, and more… but my passion has always been in the people and in their individual stories.

    I’ve partnered with leading brands like Procter & Gamble, Capital One, Kellogg’s, HP, Olay, Johnson & Johnson, Gatorade, and State Farm—helping tell stories that resonate and drive results. My work has been featured on Good Morning America, the CBS Early Show, MSNBC, NPR, and in USA Today, Forbes, and Publisher’s Weekly.

    But beyond the camera, my impact goes deeper.

    As the founder of ReDefining Sober, I help women reimagine their relationship with alcohol without shame or judgment. Through honest conversation, deep compassion, and personal experience, I guide women to reclaim their voice, rewrite their story, and rise into lives of strength and freedom.

    I’m thrilled to be the host of Hope Comes to Visit, a podcast created to share real, unfiltered stories of healing, resilience, and transformation. My mission is to remind you: no matter what you’ve walked through, you are never alone.

    I’m also the co-founder of Sovereign Collective, a space devoted to growth, healing, and soul-led transformation. Through retreats, mastermind experiences, and deep community connection, my friend and co-founder, Michelle Charbonnier and I guide individuals as they reclaim their truth, power, and purpose — one aligned step at a time.

    I am a two-time published author, a trusted speaker, and a passionate advocate for stories that spark transformation. Whether I’m standing on a stage, behind a microphone, or holding space one-on-one, I show up with grace, grit, and a commitment to truth. I will always do my best to lead with light, integrity, and a deep belief in the power of your story to create a path forward for others.

    Come as you are. Let’s begin there.
