Lets take a moment here to check in- How is your Spirit? I really began asking myself that question in my healing process as a way to tune inward and acknowledge the version of self that I was presently. Recognizing that I had been doing and living for others in my life instead of the me that was right there. Masking and hiding the peculiar ways I exist was slowly aiding in my severe burnouts. All of the sudden I was like "nah- Dani we aint gonna do that".
So these moments of reflection are simply the journey that I took to turn those stumbling stones into building blocks. Follow itsmedanibaby here. Took a little whirlwind adventure through platonic intimacy, growing up in a teeny tiny little town, religious cult life, gender identity, gender expression, conscious love with my beautiful Lu on the mic. Living in a space trying to fulfill preconceived notions was all I knew.
So I built myself many new doors and began learning about me, and shedding the preconceived ideas that I had conditioned myself to fit into. Dani has a conversation without any preconceived notions with Samantha Piel , an actor who is in the production, "Our Town" at The Arvada Center for Arts and Humanities.
Lizzy will candidly share publicly for the first time her past encounters with law enforcement, felony charges, house raids, domestic abuse and the moment she decided to change her life. Dani Baby looks forward to sharing their experience growing up in a cult, overcoming sexual abuse and finding home in themselves as a queer person. You can expect a lot of laughs, maybe some cries but more than anything, you can expect a real conversation between 2 respected and celebrated entrepreneurs in the Denver community.
Playing down my experiences from youth to adulthood held me in a minimizing mindset. Lemme explain the "Living Minimal" I was doing was minimizing my experiences whether they were achievements or traumatic life events. Making my existence and story as small as possible kept me from honoring myself and all the versions that I had been.
