You know something deeper is possible in these transformative times.
What if instead of ceding your authority to external forces that promise solutions but deliver more disconnection, you could access an inner guidance system that lights up your unique path toward personal and collective liberation?
I meet you as a committed, visionary individual who is ready to free yourself from societal and cultural expectations in order to step into your purpose and potential as defined by nobody but you.

I’m Dani, and here are a few ways we can get started:

Read: In Self We Trust
Why developing self-trust is a prerequisite for personal and collective liberation.
You have a built-in navigation system to filter through the nonstop influences of internal and external forces working overtime to keep you following the steps of an outdated map. That filter is your own inner guidance.
This essay will demonstrate how creating a world that works for everyone starts within.

I write about self-development, creativity, and disobedience as the only life hacks actually worth pursuing.
The readers of this newsletter are the oddballs and misfits, the dreamers and the big feelers, the creatives and the curious, the ones who just can’t stand to continue their numbed-out slog amidst the mainstream any longer.

Work 1:1 With Me
Self-development coaching for doing life differently
Your life is to be made, not tolerated.
More than simply setting and achieving goals—though that *is* absolutely a fundamental part of this work—Integral Coaching attends to your overall development as a human being.
You’ll develop practices that deepen your identity, purpose, and vision even as you shimmy your way towards those goals. It’s both practical and profoundly deep.
In this intensive 6-month experience, you’ll reconnect to your unique essence, fine tune your inner GPS system, and map out the exact steps you need to start living a life that is a reflection of who you really are and what you really want—authentically and by design
Love for Self Made

Hi friend, I’m Dani,
While many paths to “self-improvement” focus on conforming to cultural defaults or rely on rigid structures, I founded Self Made to swim in different waters. After all, why fight to transform your life while staying within constructs that don’t work—maybe never worked—for you?
For a long time, I stumbled my own way through all the shoulds and supposed tos, until I woke up to just. how. much. time. I’d spent putting off my life “until tomorrow.”
And now, as an Integral Coach, I partner with creative, rebellious, and bold people like you to help you live into an on-purpose life of your own design.
Together, we nurture supportive practices to sustain ourselves through the long game of healing, self-discovery, deprogramming social constructs, dismantling harmful systems, choosing things that make us feel better rather than worse, navigating all the things life will inevitably throw our way, and, most important of all, cultivating a world that works for all of us.
