Dani Britz

This weeks Extraordinary Ordinary guest is unlike any I have had before. Over the last 15 months, Dani Britz has lived through the shocking loss of her best friend and father, followed shortly after by her mother. What makes these all the worse, is the fact that they both passed away in South Africa, whilst she was living over 10,000km away in Australia. Anyone living far from home has dreaded the phone call that sadly Dani has received not once - but twice. What makes this episode all the more unique is not only the how recent these losses occurred, making the conversation as raw and honest as you can imagine, but the fact that, for the first time, I had never before met Dani. Dani is a friend of Nataschia Holland’s (my guest on Episode 9), and after hearing our chat together reached out to me asking to get involved too. This conversation turned into quite the journey but what was evident from it, was the strength of Dani’s character, the hopefulness and lessons she has taken from being rock-bottom and the drive she now feels to allow her story to help others. Quite simply, Dani encapsulates all that it is to be an Extraordinary Ordinary guest and I am sure each and every one of you can take something and be inspired by her story.
