from TURNED ON: Wild, free & sexy in your midlife · host Penny van der Sluys

What if the edge you keep avoiding is actually the place where more freedom, more pleasure, and more of you is waiting?I invited Daniella Hogarth (episode #109) back to share how she has moved from fear to flow and explore how she is living bravely, wildly, and in deep trust with herself.The conversation covers a LOT - from social anxiety, seawater phobia, and fear of the dark, to learning saxophone as an adult, joining a band, exploring wilderness skills, and undertaking a vision quest. Daniella shares how leaning towards discomfort has opened her to more aliveness, freedom, self-trust, and joy.This conversation is a beautiful reminder that fear does not have to be the end of the story. It can be the beginning of coming home to yourself.Listen now to hear us talk aboutmeeting your edges and why discomfort can be a doorway to growthDaniella’s experience of social anxiety and learning to show up as herselfhow fear of seawater became a path to freedom, confidence, and pleasurewhat a vision quest taught her about control, safety, and trusting herselfthe power of nature, wilderness, and simplifying life enough to hear yourself clearlyreclaiming abandoned parts of self through courage and experimentationlearning new skills in midlife and why it is never too late to beginhow joy, pleasure, and euphoria can live on the other side of fearthe importance of community, support, and sisterhood when meeting your edgepractical encouragement for women wanting to take one small brave step in their own livesConnect with her via:FB: ⁠https://www.facebook.com/daniella.hogarth/⁠Insta: ⁠@daniellajhogarth⁠email: ⁠[email protected]⁠YouTube: @DaniellaJayneHogarthdaniellahogarth.com Come and say hi to me over on Instagram: @pennyvandersluysExplore more of my work and offerings at: pennyvandersluys.comOr email me directly [email protected] to share what landed for you from this conversation.Instagram: @pennyvandersluysWebsite: pennyvandersluys.comAnd if you’re craving spaces where you can be encouraged, celebrated, and supported to meet your own edges, explore the Wonder Women Club. pennyvandersluys.com/wonder
