very REAL week in my life in NYC: anxiety, stress, low-confidence + cutting my hair

[@gracevictoria4681]

noticed you play jazz a lot! you should consider seeing it live in the city; it’s life changing!

[@almandaschleenbaker2978]

you have to stop being so hard on yourself and feeling guilty for your success!!! you over and over state you are so grateful which i find so genuine but i feel like you do it to down play you’re success and feelings!! you’re doing great dani! so proud of you🤍

[@Rye.Court0814]

Girl.. I stumbled across your vlogs at the YOUNG age of 44 LOL. You inspire me so much! You are such a fun, beautiful, exciting person! I found when the blah days swoop in there is nothing better than a good spray tan or Bondi Sands along with fresh highlights! When anxiety knocks on the door let faith in and pray about it! Thank you for being you!

[@amynicholls814]

Hilarious. Im 47! Lol.

[@katiekmua55]

40 🙂

[@lolarose4252]

50 here lol

[@Ceeayejayy]

Thank you so much for sharing about your struggle with health anxiety. I deal with the same issue and don’t know anybody else who struggles with this so it can feel pretty isolating. Seeing somebody else working through it is comforting! We’ve got this lol 💖💖💖

[@jessicashaull333]

I just wanted to pop on and tell you that I appreciate you for constantly being transparent with us! I also wanted to say though that you don’t need to invalidate your feelings just because you have “privilege”. You are a human. You can be tired and sore and anxiety ridden and you don’t need to justify that. I adore you babe. Xxxx. Keep your head up! 🍀🧿

[@bettijames8005]

I cried when you talked about your mom supporting you when you needed her. I lost my mom in february and I miss her comforting soul. ❤ love your relationship with your mama!

[@annamcmenama1971]

So sorry for the loss of your mom

[@carleewoodring5122]

I lost my mom in June. It’s so nice to see good mother-daughter relationships. Makes me miss her but it’s also comforting.

[@eliciagoguen]

Aww, we all feel low in confidence at times girl! I feel so heard when you're open and honest about this on your channel ❤ sending you, and all the other women who might be struggling with their confidence right now lots of love!! ❤

[@kateomalley4564]

As someone who has been really insecure the past month - I really needed that. I've been super insecure about my weight and appearance that past few weeks and it sucks. It definitely ebbs ad flow but its nice to know we are in this together and our feelings are justified. You look amazing but I get it--- it's an ebb and we will get through this!!! Your vlogs truly are the my favorite part of the day!

[@erikasmiley9643]

Danielle - Cold showers in the morning, even for 5 seconds have really improved my anxiety/health anxiety. I don’t know what it does but the shock feels like it resets my nervous system. It SUCKS but really helps me!

[@brittanymcdonald7789]

I am so glad that I am not the only one feeling this way. Thank you for sharing this side of yourself. Praying for you

[@breannachavez3034]

Great job handling your anxiety. Very good role model for all of us!❤️ you’re doing great, and I’m so proud of you! I pray you feel Gods love today, because you made my anxious day better. You were out here for a purpose!

[@shnic777]

Truly wish everyone had a peaceful Michelle in their life!! Anxiety is suchhh a battle - but you got this Dani!! Remember to be nice to yourself & dance it out ✨🫶

[@Tory_aspen]

I really appreciate you recognizing how amazing your mom is to just drop everything and be there for you like that. I just lost my mom this past week to addiction, I hadn’t seen her since 2007 so I didn’t expect to feel so much. But the fact that you and Brooke actively express how lucky you are to have a mom whose there for you no matter what feels really good for the rest of us who wished we had that ❤ never take her for granted and keep being amazing!

[@najeebah1406]

I’m sorry for your loss. And I hope you are successful in mothering yourself in a way that makes you feel whole and loved❤️

[@jacybrazil816]

I am so sorry for your loss. I hope you find peace and allow yourself to grieve the way you need too.

[@midalysfarrat3817]

😢🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️

[@JoannaCubana]

Hugs to you ❤

[@meganfitzpatrick3042]

if you're scared of an uneven self-tan, use tanning drops and your fave body lotion! you lotion is the lad instead of dye and it looks the most even and natural. use Luxe-tan drops (dark is a nice deep tan, mediium is buildable) or isle of paradise tanning drops. then use the mist version of choice for hands, feet, if you cant each your back

[@sofik.5899]

I have loved your vlogs for years now. Crazy to think we basically grew up together in a way. I hope you are feeling better and the anxiety is not as overwhelming. You seem to be very in tune and aware with what is going on with your body which is a beautiful thing. Lots of love xx

[@sarahr5427]

You talking about your anxiety is sooo relatable. I was crying with you, it can be so overwhelming and having my parents there for me helps so much ❤

[@saltair369]

I appreciate your chats related to anxiety and how you really feel. You have grown sooo much girl. When I feel that way anxious or something I called my mom too and she just ground me in the present moment. Than you again for your honesty ✨🫶

[@annamcmenama1971]

Really love and appreciate your vulnerability and honesty in the vlogs lately. Just know you are so blessed and privileged to live this life and it will get easier. Take it day by day. Love you so much Dani💓

[@ashleyhernandez7824]

Thank u for being open about your anxiety. As someone who battles with it everyday even when I’m in the most relaxed setting it can be easy to feel isolated and alone. Hearing you talk yourself out of it or something i try to practice all the time. We got this!! ❤

[@jjforshort]

Danielle, please dont let yourself get to the point that your system I.e. your body and mind have to literally remind you of taking a break from all the beautiful highs of your life. Remember, life is a lot more than you think it is, it's not just about what you do it's about how you are!

[@megcreates2.0]

I love your attitude, just acknowledging it and having a good mindset is really good for you 😊

[@emilyrosdahl]

dani!!! omg you aren’t alone girl. i struggle with anxiety & panic attacks so please know that it will be okay. you don’t always need to be “go,go,go” listen to yourself and rest. you work hard and should relax when you feel anxious. i’m glad you listened to your body! you’ve got this 💘

[@kennam0rg]

i love how your videos are never cut too much they seem so real and that really makes you so much different than so many others

[@lindseyduval2951]

I relate to you so much with the anxiety, stress and confidence issues. Love you and we are in it together

[@Andrea.reeddd]

I just want to give you a hug and cuddle and have a relax session because wow I get all these emotions! All these ups and downs I feel you!!! Your emotions are valid they’re telling you to slow down and just listen to yourself love! Cry it out relax and know that’s all ok ! Love you girl! ❤

[@Andrea.reeddd]

I also used to have panic attacks when I was anxious excited! Your body doesn’t know the difference I swear!

[@Andrea.reeddd]

Signed your 31 year old big sis Andrea lol

[@steviebaptist]

Danielle , I have watched you for years now and you have gotten me through so many tough times ! When I first got really bad anxiety in highschool I would watch your videos ,and they were so comforting and inspiring to get out there and still do the things I love or even on days I felt anxious I would be so happy to see what you were up to . When you started talking about your anxiety it made me emotional because I feel the same as you . I went through a lot of change the past year and a half and was able to manage anxiety so well ,it wasn’t an everyday thing and when it came on and an attack started I would easily stop it . The last month it and the attacks have gotten really bad again . I feel you on everything your saying waking up anxious , constantly checking you heart rate , even being scared to do cardio work outs or noticing your heart rate the MINUTE you sit to relax. I feel the same. Im sorry your going through this but thank you so much for sharing. On the outside it seems like you do it all , run your brand , going on pod casts , going out , traveling ,working out and I always aspired to do things as freely as you but it’s so validating to know even you struggle and I am sorry you do but you are for sure not alone ! I am not a person to normally comment but I felt compelled to do so for this video , it hit home . Just know you are not alone , your fears are valid , focus on all the positives and lean on those you love. Sounds like you are doing good with working through the anxiety, you know why it’s there and you are trying to not let it consume you .That’s all we can do!I love you and your videos thank you for being so real ❤

[@heatherleeee09]

Your sit down conversation about self confidence is so relatable❤ changing your workout routine will definitely help you become reinspired to workout again!

[@laurendwater7731]

Omg i go through the same exact thing with my anxiety !!! I have random sharp pains and my chest will feel super tight … I’ve gone to the er several times to only be told it’s anxiety. And having health anxiety is worse because the MOMENT you feel something wrong in your chest you feel like you’re dying 😣😣😣 i get it ! Thank you for sharing ! You’re not alone ❤️

[@monique451]

We’ve all been there Danielle, you’re not alone ♥️ I went through a year of panic attacks and it’s Terrible but it’s made me stronger and it will make you stronger too

[@abbykawa6872]

Holy shit Danielle, this was so relatable. I have anxiety that is so similar to this, but instead of checking my heart rate I’m just hyper aware of my lungs not filling up. You made such a relatable point in saying that it really doesn’t matter that the things you have planned are fun, sometimes you just need to slow down. You are preaching to the girlies who feel just like you. Thank you!! & big hugs.

[@NijahChampagne]

CHEER UP !!! DONT BE HARD ON YOUR SELF ANXIETY IS TOUGH BUT WE GOT THIS UNDER CONTROL🙃

[@nicolenoemi7869]

The new hair cut looks so healthy for your hair! I love blunt ends. It looks soo sleek. 😊

[@Beetseb956]

You’re not alone with anxiety!!!! Glad you have healthy ways to cope!!

[@nicoletrexler7631]

Love how the hair came out!! Soo good

[@k.michellebrown5554]

I find that after a facial my skin always does a "purge" and literally everything comes to the surface. After that it's gorgeous! The waiting period does suck though -_-

[@adriannapulido1313]

so reassuring that you really aren't alone in life. Felt you with the whol panic attack - when I can't calm myself down I jump into the cold shower

[@jenniferjaime2822]

Sweet Danielle 🤍You’ve been such an inspiration and so much fun to watch and ‘hang out’ with! My kiddos are about your age. I love that you you were so transparent about how you reached out to your mom when you felt anxious. Please take a moment to realize how special you are ✨Take care of yourself! I’m sending you prayers and good vibes.

[@aliyahkohagen3629]

Danielle I can just feel how confident you are with your new hair 🥹 we all go through ruts with our confidence/appearance but you are always beautiful 💞💞

[@krdowns01]

I love roasted balsamic Brussel sprouts - on a pan in the oven for like 20 mins, tossed in olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper and garlic

[@TrishyRN]

You are amazing. It’s okay to take breaks and relax. Listen to your mama. Don’t burn yourself out. ❤

[@allymariette]

Ok but that dance brought so much joy to me. I literally felt tears coming (weird I know) love you Dani 🤍

[@samanthaa9184]

you have no idea how much I related to this vlog. i appreciate you being so open and honest and reminding me i’m not alone!

[@roopibhatti1255]

What’s your jazz playlist? Also I feel like this time of year everyone’s kind of hit with the needing to change things up including me! I’m so glad you voiced what was going on because it made me feel like i wasn’t the only one feeling that way! I hope getting your hair done and just sticking to the routine will help! ❤

[@nicoletrexler7631]

A self tan schedule in the winter is so important, immediate serotonin boost. I love The Loving Tan 2 hour dry

[@PeachyPatchwork]

Love the parts of the vlog that are less chatty and more focused on you as a “gal on the go” - like all the stuff you do! I’d rather see more montages (even if it’s just you at home doing stuff around the house) than the long chatty bits, even though I enjoy those moments too. Just want to see more “doing”!

[@emilymcollins]

I struggle with that same anxiety and a racing heartrate that makes me even more anxious. I know exactly how you feel. So sweet your parents give you tips and reassurance. Love the idea about dancing and moving -i will have to try that. ❤

[@sinja6889]

Dear Danielle, I just wanted to say thank you! To know that I am not alone with my thoughts and my anxiety really helps to deal with it! I love that you are not only showing “perfect“, always happy and busy Danielle! Please do it more often if you feel comfortable with it!💕

[@maricelagonzalez9396]

Thank you for being so real and raw! I too have anxious moments and I appreciate you sharing 🤍

[@remiklein4568]

I have similar issues regarding anxiety and heart problems-I also went through the same thing of getting a whole cardiovascular checkup just to find out it was just anxiety lol. So I totally relate to you! It’s scary feeling these symptoms that feel so real but I just try to remind myself that it’s just anxiety and that there’s physically nothing wrong with me 💕💕

[@landriekimbrough]

Danielle I love you!! Stop apologizing to us for your FEELINGS you’re allowed to feel the things you feel and be overwhelmed by your own life, we know you’re greatful for the life you live and you don’t owe it to the trolls that expect you to apologize for everything, live your life and experience your feelings the way you do.❤❤

[@leeannmccathern2697]

Teared up when you talked about your mom - I miss mine so much and it’s so refreshing to see how much you appreciate yours 🥹 loved this vlog & how genuine you always are!

[@allthingslifestylepodcast3221]

Love how you were so transparent with your anxiety in this video ❤so relatable

[@triciaoquinn9238]

Hun, You are SO Young. Give yourself Grace. You are perfect!

[@marccolomayt82094]

Love your new hairstyle & your NYC life vlog!!!

[@linegaarden4843]

just had anxiety at uni today and I am back home earlier than expected and just want to let you know, that you are not alone, and it just sucks that we have to deal with it on top of everything else.

[@kikimack99]

literally thank you for sharing about your hair struggles. i have been feeling the same exact way!!!! it’s the worst feeling

[@nimzay4279]

Your hair is perfect for you!

[@ellenlie1824]

Been watching your videos for a while now, and it feels like we are going through a lot of the same stuff. I'm grateful that you can share this with us, i really know how much this means for the young gals that look up to you, especially in the time we live in with social media. We can't be our best selves if we don't take breaks and listen to our bodies! Take care

[@camilafarina1931]

You were born to have this hair Dani! You look absolutely stunning! ❤

[@AttorneySarah]

Thanks for sharing the way you did in this vlog! I felt inspired and affirmed seeing the ways you adjusted your schedule and how intentional you were with managing the waves of anxiety

[@AttorneySarah]

also- LOVE the new hair!!!!

[@graciejohnson6736]

Truly love your videos and content so much. I feel like I’m ALWAYS relating to everything you’re saying and going through!!❤

[@sashineeperera7662]

i been watching ur videos these days i love it so far ....... ur amazing

[@morgannechamberlain9727]

Thanks for being so open about your feelings of anxiety and self confidence. I’ve been feeling the same way this past month when I wake up and it’s so nice (but sorry you’re feeling that way) to hear that I’m not alone. That dancing idea is great I’ll have to try that 🫶🏻💗🤗

[@kaitlynreiss4664]

I love facials but I am still dealing with the aftermath of it!! Doesn't make sense...seriously cant wait for the live show yayaya!!!! love love love youuuu

[@caffeinatedreader_]

Wow I haven’t caught up with Danielle vlogs in forever! 💜

[@cballard557]

I’m loving how comfortable you’re feeling with sharing your true raw emotions and feelings with your subscribers. As someone who goes through anxiety/panic attacks too, it’s so relatable and comforting to know others go through it too!

[@jancarlson2165]

Love your HAIR!!! I love it when you part it on the side too. 💕💕💕 Love you girlie!!! And I love Clara!! She's so sweet!!

[@crikeybryan]

Tanologist is AMAZING! It’s so great because it goes on clear and spreads evenly if u missed a spot. It’s my favorite !!!!

[@taylorrayne7490]

I have had long hair my entire life. This summer I chopped it all off to my shoulders and went super blonde and I LOVED it. I don’t see myself going back to long for a while. Short hair is such the vibe these days!

[@haleythackston1423]

LOVING TAN!! I swear by it and I’ve tried so many!

[@heidimarch]

Danielle!!! I get super self conscious when I’m not as tan as I’d like, and I use the Bondi Sands tanning mouse in Ultra Dark, and I got the mitt from them too. It’s pretty foolproof imo. I love you soooooo much and I look up to you so much! Hang in there🖤

[@GracePalardy]

Facials can be very clarifying if you go in with congestion in the skin breakouts are normal after a facial it’s your skin clearing out!! ♥️

[@jordynmarie972]

watching this as I do my college work

[@anne6392]

pro tip, buy a jar of minced garlic at TJ's/grocery! Stays so much fresher and tastes just as good if not better because it's so easy to use! like one tbsp = one clove etc. I use garlic in everything so this saves me so much money/time/hassle

[@savannahkelley5478]

I’ve dealt with panic attacks too, and I’ve had exact moments like that :( I’m sorry you are experiencing this but celebrate with you in your progress!!!

[@megcreates2.0]

I learned to boil them (brussel sprouts)for about 15min. Then cover put them in a cook sheet, them in olive oil, cavanders seasoning, then in the oven at broil for about 10min. Do you have “afib”?

[@jordynmarie972]

OBSESSED with your hair omfg

[@Dimples04647]

Your hair looks sooooo good!! 😮❤

[@j10v95]

So excited to buy tickets for the live show soon!!!!! Ahhhh!!!🎉🎉

[@lindsqwerty]

It took me going through a really hard physical struggle to realize how strong and tough the body is. Our bodies fight so hard to care for us and if we nurture them they can be so resilient! I'm sorry you're struggling with health anxiety🧡

[@RachelWaugh]

Thank you so much for sharing about your anxiety as tough as it is ❤️❤️

[@NMA1907]

Hi girly❤ Iam experiencing the same kind of anxiety with the exact symptoms and nothing really helps.. I hear you and I know how hard it is to deal with this but we are strong and overcome it every single time❤ love from Chicago❤

[@loveepinkk7]

Omg Danielle her hair 😍😍😍😍 looks sooo good!! Loving this new look on you 🥰

[@brookelynnmassie4435]

I have self-tanned for years now and my tride and true is the st tropez mousse in the teal bottle with their mit, or the ulta mits work too and i always put lotion on my dryest areas (knees, elbows, ankles, wrists) and i put a mit on a hair brush handle to do my back! it really just comes with routine and practice then you get it down pact fairly quickly!

[@makeupbymissp]

that hair was the absolute move i’m obsessed

[@olgalyds6581]

The haircut goes so well with you ❤ perfect length 👍🏼

[@nicoletrexler7631]

Ugh peaceful Michelle!! 🥹

[@Wishes591]

Can’t wait for the Hall-o-weekend vlog!!!

[@AustinAlvarez]

One thing I've learned from watching your vlogs for awhile now and was very apparent in this vlog when talking about your hair and fitness aspirations is that you care way too much about what other people think. I know putting your life out on social media and being an 'influencer' is very trying and its hard to develop a sense of individuality but it's super important for your own mental health to really try to focus on what you as an individual wants and be confident pursuing that without needing to have validation from your "viewers" or comparing yourself to your other 'influencer' friends and the things they advertise as 'important' or 'essential'. We are watching this vlog and your content because we want to hear what YOU have to say and your opinions and your thoughts on what you're doing with your life. I just hope you are truly moving towards a place where you feel comfortable in your own skin and that we can see that genuine side of you so soon. You're a very inspirational and real person, but when it comes down to certain actions or "trends" it does sometimes feel a bit forced and I believe most of us just want to know what you're truly interested in and what you see for yourself shine through, outside of all the external stimulus, thoughts, and pressure.

[@tippitytiptap]

Petition to move the table back! Lol

[@JavaLover]

Hair looks sensational! ❤

[@truecollar9059]

So relatable, one of my fave videos from you ❤

[@maddiebender560]

Dani I found this video EXACTLY when I needed to hear this. Thanks 😊

[@jessicadehaan1450]

THANK YOU for sharing your anxiety, I am sure it resonates with many people! I struggled with anxiety for 5+ years. I became so frustrated with what was causing it and the only thing I could think of was my low hormones oral contraceptive. I stopped taking it in March and haven't had a panic attack since I stopped and I used to have 2-3 panic attacks a month. I highly recommend looking into what you are putting into your body! It worked for me so I hope it can work for someone else. AND for skin I recommend CLEARSTEM! Love the vlogs :)

[@laurajeshiva3724]

i know when I see the cow coffee mug it's gonna be a good vlog

[@marisaj1229]

I have health anxiety too and have been going through the same experiences as you. It feels very isolating. Just know you're not alone.

[@loveandbeauty221]

I get the exact same way with anxiety and anxiety/panic attacks and when your heart skips a beat. A while ago I realized that my birth control was causing me to have debilating anxiety so I stopped the birth control all together and my anxiety improved a lot. Just something to think about! ❤

[@lisanellycabrera6694]

You are beautiful the way you are sometimes we go thru things I will pray for you. Peace and love.

[@Dreamcatcher.925]

Danielle could you link the little bamboo tray for your salt pepper and olive oil?

[@yannaspears8771]

Hair looks so good!!
