What's the secret to manifesting your dreams? Here's a clue: it almost never happens in the ways we think it will. Contrary to what we think, we actually get in our own way when we get attached to ‘how' it's going to happen. The answer? We need to get rid of the hows and just commit to where we want to go. But balancing surrender with intentional action is no easy task, so we're breaking it down to help get you closer to your dreams and goals, both in business and in life! My guest today is Danika Brysha, the founder and CEO of Model Meals (a healthy meal delivery business), a self-care coach, the creator of The Brunch Series wellness events and 2018 US tour, and an IMG Curve Model. All of her businesses are Danika's way of giving back after her own personal transformation. For most of her life Danika suffered with an eating disorder that led her to some extremely dark places of self-hatred and destructive habits. After hitting the bottom mentally, emotionally, physically, and financially, Danika healed through a variety of tools, which she now shares with thousands of women all over the country.  Her work will only continue to help empower more and more women know that they, too, can live a life of their dreams!   What you'll learn in this episode: Why it's actually selfish NOT to practice self-care! Danika's self-care checklist and how to use microtasks and teeny everyday habits that support your identity (rather than focusing on results and feeling guilt and shame for not achieving or doing) How to know when your spiritual connection and intuition is blocked, and what to do to change your inner dialogue and manifest the career and life of your dreams How to give yourself permission to truly follow what feels good The importance of profit vs. revenue and paying yourself   Subscribe and Review Thanks so much for joining me this week.

The road to sorting our shit out is paved with discipline and abandon, and that’s seen clearly in Danika Brysha. In living through some of the worst things people can experience, she’s found her own personal footprint. She’s the co-founder and lead guide at Self-Care Society, co-founder and CEO of Model Meals, creator of the Brunch Series wellness events and the Self-Care Checklist, and a body-positive fashion model at IMG Models. Her mission, in a nutshell, is to help others to live the fullest and most fulfilling life possible. She believes deeply in the power of self-care systems to stay accountable and consistent, and that in order to reach our dreams and care for others, we have to start with ourselves. Through her journey of recovery from food and body issues, excessive alcohol and drug use, deep debt, and an overall lack of confidence and purpose, Danika uses her own experience to help others transform and thrive.

I used to get really overwhelmed by the idea of creating a good life, but I could get down with the idea of creating a great day.”   “The self-care checklist is a free pill, essentially, that you can do every morning. It has helped me more than any prescription med ever has.”   “Whatever you use to numb out—it doesn’t matter what you are using—it is all about what are we doing with the feelings that come up that we don’t want to feel?   “Feelings are visitors, let them come and go.”   “When we don’t stay in our body and we don’t feel our feelings, we make decisions based on what we think we should do instead of on how we feel.”   “Change and discomfort… I know that is what breeds growth.”   “Going inward and doing the self-work, getting sober, clear, and listening in has been one of the best things I have ever done for myself.”   “I learned at a young age how to think of something that doesn’t exist and create it, versus seeing what exists and trying to fit in that box.”   LET’S CONNECT Website: www.bryannadee.com Instagram: @bryanna_dee Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bryannadee Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/bryannadee/
