I think intelligent people can be particularly good at talking themselves out of things.

We know how to research. We know how to analyse. We can build a very convincing argument for waiting another week, getting another opinion or needing a little more clarity before we make the call and sometimes, underneath all of that very sensible thinking, we’re scared.

I’ve done it too.

There have been decisions in my own business where I could have told you I was being strategic, considered and responsible. Looking back, I’d dressed fear up so beautifully it probably deserved its own spreadsheet.

This is the conversation I have in Episode 49 of The Danni Vee Show.

The question “What if I get it wrong?” gives your brain an assignment, and as I share in this episode, it is VERY good at finding the evidence. Failed ideas, old conversations, things people have said and apparently something embarrassing from Year 9 that we’ve decided is relevant again. 😂

I’m far more interested in the question underneath all of that thinking.

What are you really trying to know?

That you won’t fail? That nobody will judge you? That someone else agrees with you? That you’ve made the “right” decision?

There comes a point where another opinion won’t give you what you’re looking for.

You have to make the call.

Episode 49 is now live on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and YouTube.

I had a bit of a moment when I hit publish on this episode.

Not because it’s Episode 48... although if you count my Visionary Series it’s actually number 53.

It made me realise how much this podcast has grown alongside me.

When I first started recording, I wanted to share conversations that I hoped would help people lead themselves and their businesses differently.

Somewhere along the way, something has shifted. The coaching conversations have become deeper. The workshops I run have become richer and the questions people were asking changed.

And if I’m completely honest, so did I.

For the first time, I’ve recorded a full episode about culture and leadership. Not the version you read in a textbook, but the version I see every week working with leaders and business owners.

It all started with one question in a workshop...
“How do you change culture?”

The answer I gave wasn’t the one I would have given a few years ago.
I found myself saying...
“What are your people learning every day that nobody has ever said out loud?”….and this question I believe needs to be asked in every area of your business and life.

Episode 48 feels like the start of a new chapter for this podcast.

I’ve got something really exciting planned for Episode 50 that I’ve been working on behind the scenes, and I can’t wait to share it with you.

If you’ve listened to one episode or all 53, thank you for coming along for the ride.

I love having you here

I walked away from a coaching session recently thinking about something that I haven’t been able to stop thinking about.

We spent almost an hour talking about a decision this business owner needed to make. On the surface, it looked like we were talking about pricing. As the conversation unfolded, it became obvious that pricing wasn’t really the conversation at all. Years ago, someone had questioned the value of their work and although they’d built a successful business since then, that one experience was still finding its way into decisions they were making today.

It made me wonder how often we do that without even realising.

I’ve certainly caught myself doing it….You tell yourself you’re weighing up the options, when really you’re trying to avoid feeling what you felt last time.

The business moves forward, your experience grows and your circumstances change, yet an old story still gets a seat at the table every time an important decision needs to be made.

That’s what I’ve been thinking about a lot lately.

Once I started noticing it in myself, I started noticing it everywhere. In founders. In executives. In leaders who are incredibly capable and genuinely want to grow their business, yet keep finding themselves circling the same decisions.

That conversation became the inspiration for the last week’s episode of The Danni Vee Show.

It’s called The Story You’re Still Living (And Don’t Even Know It), and I have a feeling you’ll recognise parts of yourself in it.

I’d love to know what comes up for you after you’ve listened.

Have you ever realised that a decision you thought was about today was actually connected to something much older?

I’m being brave sharing this today.

I have sat with this podcast because it is deeply personal. Recently, I found out that a woman had been speaking about me and what she had said had influenced the way other people perceived me.

People who never came to me, never asked what had happened and never took the time to know the full story.

That hurt more than I expected. It made me question conversations, relationships and whether people had met me for themselves or through a story that had already entered the room before I did.

I believe the value of this conversation sits in what happened for me afterwards. I had to look honestly at what was mine to own, what belonged to somebody else and how much influence I was willing to give this experience over the way I continued to show up.

Being misunderstood can make you want to explain everything, correct every opinion and enter future rooms prepared to defend yourself.

It can also change your relationships and your willingness to be visible when you allow the experience to follow you.

I am choosing to walk in as the woman I have become through every challenge, every mistake, every lesson and every decision to keep growing.

The lesson here….
There will always be people who know only part of your story. There will always be people whose judgement is shaped by their own experiences, insecurities, loyalties and beliefs.

OUR WORK is to become anchored enough in our values that other people’s perceptions can inform us without defining us.

This is leadership.

This may be one of the bravest conversations I have shared on The Danni Vee Show.

Lately, I have been thinking about the gap between being incredible at what you do and having a message people can clearly recognise.

You can build experience, credibility, results, relationships and years of lived wisdom, then find yourself struggling to answer one simple question:

What do I want to be known for?

I understand this deeply because it is a conversation I continue to have with myself as my work and brand evolve.

I know what happens inside the coaching room.

I have seen women back themselves, grow businesses, speak on stages, lead teams, start podcasts and step into a level of confidence they had spent years circling around.

I have also seen highly capable women carrying so much behind the scenes while wondering why their message still feels scattered.

When you are close to your work, you can see every layer. You know all the ways you can help. You understand the depth, the nuance and the years that sit underneath what you do.

Your audience still needs a clear thread they can follow.

A message they remember. A conversation they begin to connect with your name…..For me, that conversation continues to come back to the woman behind the performance.

Her identity.
Her confidence.
Her presence.

Her ability to trust herself and lead at the level she knows she is capable of.

It comes back to the belief that sits underneath so much of my work:

Who you become determines what you build.

The latest episode of The Danni Vee Show is one of the most reflective conversations I have recorded because it asks a question I believe every woman building something meaningful needs to consider:

What are you ready to become known for?

I think high-achieving women have become far too comfortable treating self-doubt as a sign of intelligence.

We call it being thoughtful. We call it being strategic. We tell ourselves we are simply considering every angle, yet somewhere along the way, second guessing has become part of how many brilliant women make decisions.

I caught myself doing it recently.

I had been looking for evidence that I did not have enough visibility. I noticed the opportunities that had not happened, the content that had not landed the way I hoped and the people who had not responded.

Then I had to laugh at the irony of it.

I speak about visibility, leadership and self-trust every day, and there I was, building a case against myself while overlooking years of evidence that my work is already creating an impact.

That realization made me wonder how many other women are doing exactly the same thing.

How much evidence of your leadership have you dismissed because it felt ordinary to you?

How many results have you reduced to “just doing my job”?

How many times have you trusted someone else’s opinion more quickly than your own experience?

High achievement does not automatically create self-trust. In many women, it creates a higher standard, a sharper eye for what is missing and an endless ability to move the goalposts.

That pattern has a cost.

It shapes the opportunities you put yourself forward for, the way you speak about your work, the price you place on your expertise and the amount of space you allow yourself to take up.

At some point, every woman who wants a bigger level of impact has to decide whether she will keep gathering evidence for her limitations or finally own the evidence of who she has become.

This is the conversation I am having on the latest episode of The Danni Vee Show, because I believe visibility begins with the way you see yourself long before anyone else responds.

I would genuinely love to know:

Where are you second guessing yourself even though the evidence says you are ready?

Wow. This picture of Kylie Ryan | Mindset Mystic and I was taken 15 years ago when I first completed my NLP certification.

What a full-circle moment to now have my incredible friend and mentor on The Danni Vee Show, which dropped yesterday.

We talk about authenticity, the “woo” in our work, and our beautiful B (Bianca Aiono you even get a mention for the impact you both have had on who I have become today.

And then the conversation gets a little spicy.

With decades in the coaching industry between us, Kylie and I have seen the incredible impact great coaching can have on someone’s life. We’ve also seen what happens when visibility grows faster than credibility.

This is why I care so deeply about this work.

Great coaching is not about having all the answers or creating a polished version of success online. It is listening deeply, asking better questions, holding the person in front of you with care, and guiding them through the very real process of becoming.

We also spoke about why so many high-achieving women eventually reach a point where more strategy is no longer the answer.

They have built the business. Hit the goals. Carried the pressure. Held it all together.

And then they start asking bigger questions.

Who am I becoming?

What actually matters now?

How do I lead without carrying the weight of everything on my shoulders?

This conversation goes there.

If you are a founder, leader or coach who knows your next level requires deeper work than another strategy, you would be crazy to miss this one.

The Danni Vee Show with Kylie Ryan is live now. I’d love to know what lands for you after you listen. 💛

The pause is a part of success I see high-achieving women skip all the time.

What I mean by that is we can become so used to building, holding, leading, delivering, supporting and moving that we barely give ourselves a moment to let the good things land.

When I was completing my Coach of the Year application, I had to sit with the effort, time and focus that had gone into the work. I had to write down the achievements, the client outcomes, the programs, the speaking, the coaching rooms, the business building, the professional development, the years of showing up and the moments that never make it into a polished bio.

I remember looking at it all and thinking, “Wow. I have actually built something here.”

Sometimes you do not realise how much you have done until you are asked to put it all in one place.

The award is incredible and I am deeply grateful for it, but what really got me was realising the years of discipline, leadership, learning, courage and care that created the moment.

I see this in so many women I coach too. Brilliant, capable women with so much evidence behind them, still moving like they need one more thing before they can fully own what they have already built.

Today’s episode of The Danni Vee Show is about the part of success we do not talk about enough and that’s receiving it. Allowing the woman you have become to mean something.

I strongly believe who you become determines what you build.
