With raw honesty and deep wisdom, Danika shares her journey from battling body image struggles and disordered eating to embracing self-worth as the foundation for true wellness. She challenges the traditional view of self-care, showing how it's not about elaborate rituals or perfection, but about small, intentional choices that build resilience, confidence, and a life that feels good from the inside out.

Danika's story is a testament to the power of rest, reflection, and community in preventing burnout and cultivating a more vibrant, fulfilling life. She also introduces the Self Care Society, a movement that helps people show up for themselves with grace and consistency.

Camille May | Model Meals - Bootstrapping An Exit Modeling how to live and eat cleaner Our mission at Model Meals is to transform the current American food system by providing clean, locally-sourced, ready-made meals and clean eating advice. After changing her diet through the Whole30 Challenge in 2014, Model Meals' co-founder Danika Brysha felt very strongly that nourishing food could change the world. She started cooking and delivering meals around NYC from her studio apartment, digging herself into debt and eventually moving into her parents' garage in Southern California to get her feet back on the ground. In 2015, Danika teamed up with college friend, Camille May, to formally launch Model Meals in Santa Ana, CA, where they organically grew their business to what it is today. Danika and Camille have both experienced how hard it can be to prioritize eating healthy against the backdrop of a food system that makes it inconvenient, and confusing. After experiencing the transformative effects food had on their lives, they knew that if they could make eating this way convenient and delicious, they could help to create a happier and healthier world. Camille and Danika bootstrapped their business, growing annual revenues to over $3M before being acquired in July 2021 by Home Bistro, a publicly traded food company for whom Camille now serves as CFO. About Camille: Camille is the co-founder of Model Meals, a paleo food business launched in 2015 after she experienced the transformative effect clean eating had on her overall well-being. She and her co-founder bootstrapped the business, growing annual revenues to over $3M before being acquired in July 2021 by Home Bistro, a publicly traded food company for whom Camille now serves as CFO. She currently resides in her hometown of Austin, TX with her 80-pound pit bull, Romeo, and enjoys spending time with her family, drinking mezcal, traveling to Africa, and all things health & wellness. --- This episode is sponsored by Brex: Brex is the all-in-one financial toolkit for every scaling business.

TW: Disordered Eating This week, Morgan sits down with entrepreneur and former model Danika Brysha. During their discussion, Brysha speaks candidly about her struggles with body image and her journey into the modeling industry.

Brysha speaks openly about the financial stresses that come with successful entrepreneurship. In this enlightening conversation, Morgan and Danika Brysha talk about everything: from the impact of mainstream media on body image to mindfulness and meditation to the link between personal growth and organic gardening, to self-care and self-worth.

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.

In a world where we are constantly seeing bigger, better, filtered beauty it's easy to forget that we have so much to be thankful for. We can be thankful for what we have RIGHT NOW while we're working for what we want. This episode taps into the simple practice of gratitude as a mood booster, personal development tool and accelerator of excellence on even the worst days. The guidelines for adding this practice to your life are: 1. Make it a habit. I have used all of these gratitude journals daily and recommend them all depending on where you are in your practice. When you can't find something you love, just use a spiral notebook and write three things daily that you are thankful for. The Five Minute Journal Favorite Moment a Day The Start Today Journal Spiral Bound Notebook 2. Make it simple Not grand gestures and expensive gifts. The focus is on things that are already happening in your life - great coffee, amazing slippers, cute dogs, sun shining on a Tuesday. The simpler the better. 3. Be thankful for the contrast This practice comes from my classes with Danika Brysha in Self Care Society  The contrast is things that aren't so great that show you what you don't want and inspire to push towards what you do want. 4. Look for the good all the time everywhere you go Every moment of the day is an opportunity to see things to be thankful for. The more goodness you look for in the world the more you will surely see.

In this episode I interview Danika Brysha who is an expert on all things self care. I find that the term self care is thrown around so much but I wanted an expert to clarify what it actually means. In this episode we talk about some of the misconceptions about self care, how self care is really connected with feeling your feelings, how to foster more self love, self care and boundaries, how to utilize self care during a tough time, and how to get started.  To sign up for You Year 2021 https://myselfcaresociety.com/youyear/ref/breakupbestie To learn more about Self Care Society https://myselfcaresociety.com/ref/breakupbestie Take the quiz to figure out which Break Up Bestie course is best for you! https://breakupbestie.typeform.com/to/x0WglwDO Learn about all of my courses! https://www.breakupbestie.com/courses

I'm back deep-diving into the link between spirituality and health. In the wake of a lot of spiritual transformation, I've come to a place where I feel more in tune with my body. But with that comes the realization of what I am doing well but even bigger what I'm not doing. There's a lot I'm still learning and exploring. I find myself asking a lot of questions. I'm excited to seek and understand those answers.

Case in point, when she launched The Self Care Society, Danika didn’t need to worry about how to get people in the door because there was an already highly engaged following that trusted her, knew the value that she was offering and were ready to join in.    Danika is an Entrepreneur, CEO, and Model. In this episode, Danika discusses how to leverage social media imposter syndrome in order to uncover your true self, so you can start sharing what really lights you up. She talks about dealing with social media fatigue & how to recognize when you need to step back and nurture yourself.     Danika also shares her productivity tips as well as how to focus on staying efficient & productive rather than worrying about completing your daily to-do list.    Learn more about Danika: www.danikabrysha.com/ Follow Danika: https://www.instagram.com/danikabrysha/   Get Amy Jo’s newsletter: amyjomartin.activehosted.com/f/21   Join the Why Not Now?

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.

When I first met Danika Brysha, I only knew that she was the CEO of Model Meals, a meal-delivery service of healthy, delicious food beloved by my former client, Amy Porterfield. We met because we’re in Kate Northrup’s mastermind together and I instantly understood that this was a woman who is up to big things. I love that she values freedom as much as I do, even though we’re also the kind of people who have 5 million ideas at a time… which kinda eats into that freedom. Creating the structure necessary to support freedom is something we’re both working on. And creating partnerships out in the world… actually starts with your own relationship with your body and your own self. I was so excited to talk to Danika about her geniusness around self care, creating partnerships, and running several companies while living a full life.

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.

This week, it’s our favorite format: couples episodes. Jessie sits down with model, Danika Brysha and her man, Chef Bill. Together the three chat about sobriety and recovery in relationships, food and freedom, and the responsibility of taking care of your own needs before your partners. Check it out here!

Acknowledging my darkness and my “winter” and sharing it out loud as it's happening for the first time (Lori Harder's Earn Your Happy Podcast: Ep 430 with Kate Northrup, author of “Do Less”). The impact of negative self talk and small actionable behaviors to kickstart reshaping the way you see the world and behave in it. The plasticity of our brains. The Self-Care Checklist, and why you need to start your day at %150 to prevent burnout (according to Danika Brysha's Virtual Brunch Series course; Brene Brown - the Power of Authenticity) - affirmations, meditation (10% Happier by Dan Harris), journaling. Habits requiring at least 11 days to start to stick. Library App - Hoopla, and Insight Timer - free meditation app.

Starting a podcast was something I’d wanted to do for a long time and it was also something that scared the shit out of me. Now here we are: closing out Season 1 of Set That B*tch Free. I did it Babes! And I couldn’t be more grateful - for all of you who’ve listened in and for the amazing women who joined me on the show with honesty and presence.There was the Ambitious Kitchen, Bun Undone and The Defined Dish, Tiffany, Danika and Holly. And let’s not forget about the one woman force Chinae, who kicked off this whole crazy ride. Finally, there was me. My Just Jacq episodes were a chance to open up about myself in a real, raw and vulnerable way. I ended every episode by asking each guest the same question: who is your Inner Babe? Their answers inspired, surprised and wowed me. So I decided to close out this season by recapping every answer I received. I hope you find their responses as moving as I did. So goodbye ...for now. But don’t fret babes, I’ll be back in the fall with more episodes. So stay subscribed, stay positive and, most of all, stay you.[00:23] - Reflections on season one[03:12] - Who is my Inner Babe?[05:14] - Monique Volz[05:39] - Tiffany Louise[06:18] - Alex Snodgrass[07:02] - Danika Brysha[08:48] - Chinae Alexander[10:12] - Morgan Raphael[11:40] - Holly Keskey-Koester[12:00] - See you back in the fall!Jacqueline Gould is a self-worth enthusiast, wellness addict and founder of Your Inner Babe™.

this episode, I interviewed Danika Brysha.  Danika Brysha is an IMG Curve Model, the founder and CEO of Model Meals, a Whole30 meal delivery business, a self-care coach, and the creator of The Brunch Series wellness events and 2018 US tour. Danika's mission in life is to help others to live their fullest possible lives. She speaks openly about her recovery from food addiction and disordered eating, and teaches workshops centered around using self-care daily to create the life of your wildest dreams.

There’s a reason self-care starts with the word “self”. That’s because it’s so important to know that your mental, emotional and physical health and well-being starts with you. Few people have internalized that message more than my guest this week Danika Brysha. Danika is one of those people that radiates positivity in a very real way by acknowledging that self-care and positivity take work. A true does-it-all babe, Danika is a CEO, model, coach and, most importantly, a friend. Listen to this week's episode to hear how Danika starts her daily self-care routine, how she channels confidence in herself and how she approaches social media in a reaffirming and positive way.[01:39] - What's going well?[03:57] - Are you expanding to Chicago?[04:57] - We were meant to be friends[06:16] - A day in the life of Danika[12:33] - The self care checklist[17:19] - What are some of your favorite go-to affirmations?[21:26] - How did you cultivate a sense of power?[26:08] - How do you stay positive with yourself while sharing your life on Instagram?[27:28] - Do you ever find boundaries blurring because you're such an open book?[31:16] - Where do you currently draw inspiration from?[33:34] - What are the key components to true authentic love?[39:14] - What does it mean to be truly confident in yourself?[43:12] - Knowing what you know now, what would you have told your younger self?[45:01] - What are some things you do when your confidence is lower than normal?Getting Real:[48:07] - Describe the feeling of being in love with yourself in one word[48:18] - What title would you give this chapter of your life?[49:09] - What gets you really excited these days?[49:56] - When do you feel most helpful?[51:00] - What is one weakness that you'd like to improve on?[52:53] - What is something that you take for granted?[53:55] - What are three things you absolutely love about yourself?[55:54] - How would you define your Inner Babe? Danika Brysha is a self-care and wellness personality, the founder + CEO of Model Meals, a Whole30 certified coach and a curve model with IMG Models. Her ultimate goal in life is to help others achieve their highest level of happiness. To help them find what their unique contribution is to this world, and to start living it. She has a deep passion for those who struggle with food and body issues and hopes that sharing her story can give relief to others who may feel defeated or alone.

Our guests today are Danika Brysha and Billy Haley! Danika is our dear friend and the founder and CEO of Model Meals, as well as a successful model.. Billy is a private chef and the owner of Culinary Recovery Foods. Together, the two toured the United States in 2018 to host The Brunch Series, a workshop style gathering to define and design self-care for each woman in attendance.  Lindsey and Krista had the privilege of attending the series in Boston and were blown away by how Danika’s vulnerability and strength empowered every woman there to take an honest look at where they could be taking better care of their mind, body and spirit.  In our conversation today, we hear from Danika and Billy in the middle of their conscious uncoupling, speaking on how that has been both healthy for their relationship together and incredibly painful at times.. This episode is for those trying to navigate relationships, those struggling to understand loved ones in recovery, for those in relationships where you aren’t sure of the outcome but know you need space, and for human beings who are dying to communicate honestly and openly with those they love most.. We are honored that Danika and Billy  chose our platform to share their experiences and current status   We also talk about: Planning out the Brunch Series Discovering their codependency dynamic Having intuitive hits in the relationship Shame from the past overpowering love from family and friends The importance of doing the work on yourself Mindful masculinity and what it means to Danika and Billy Using energy work and hypnotherapy to heal Recovery steps being applicable to anyone Billy’s relationship with a higher power Having real, honest conversations   Find more to love at almost30podcast.com!   Resources: Learn more: danikabrysha.com ; culinaryrecoverfoods.com Instagram: @danikabrysha ; @culinaryrecovery Read: Codependent No More by Melody Beattie   Upcoming Events: May 30th: Denver with Natalie Miles June 20th: Los Angeles with Bree Melanson Almost 30 Retreat   Sponsors: Chosen Foods | Use code ALMOST30 for 50% off at chosenfoods.com/almost30 Honeybook | Use code ALMOST30 for 50% off the first year of Honeybook at honeybook.com Article | www.article.com/ALMOST30 for $50 off a purchase of $100 or more Calm | Get 25% off a Calm premium subscription at www.calm.com/almost30 Almost 30 is edited by Crate Media

We are often asked what balance looks like for us, and honestly, we don’t know!  There is an incredible plus balance looks different to every person. We were part of an event put on by us, Youtube, and Dermalogica on International Women’s Day, surrounding the topic that balance is BS. Achieving balance in life is such a trendy thing to talk about, and at this event, we sat alongside other amazing women to debunk the idea of balance. The panel featured Danika Brysha, Sara Tan, Deepica Mutyala, and Jane Wurwand. Each woman offered so much value and insight to business, entrepreneurism, and this idea that balance is BS. We are so excited for you to give this episode a listen.   We also talk about…   Defining milestones for Jane What led Danika to the creation of Model Meals Deepica + Sara on creating boundaries The unsexy side of entrepreneurism and business Different missteps and mistakes we look back on How everyone balances work and personal life Advice for female founder just starting out     Find more to love at almost30podcast.com!   Resources: Follow each panelist on Instagram: @danikabrysha ; @saratan ; @deepica ; @janewurwand Danika’s self-care checklist   Upcoming Events: March 26th: Rachel Rosen Event College Tour: Email events@almost30podcast.com    Hotline : 1 (424) 272-1853   Sponsors: Article | www.article.com/ALMOST30 for $50 off a purchase of $100 or more HUM Nutrition | Use code ALMOST30NATION for 15% off at humnutrition.com Silver Fern | Use code ALMOST30 for 20% off your first order at silverfernbrand.com Robinhood | Robinhood is giving listeners a FREE stock like Apple, Ford, or Sprint to help build your portfolio!

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/

Glad we got her on show before she fricken blows up around the world because ISABELLE is a superstar inside and out. This week we are joined by Isabelle Pasquelone, born and raised in Atlanta, she's a singer, body positivity activist, and former American Idol contestant. Growing up, she was the "singer chick", who was always, always, always singing, starting voice lessons at 7 years old. For college, she attended the prestigious Berklee College of Music, the only college she applied to BTW (*snaps for Isabelle), where she created a vast network for herself, learned traditional songwriting and the craft as a whole, and never regretted her decision. Basically, we dive into her music-based WORLD, including her ... experience with AMERICAN IDOL - how she never wanted to audition, got to the top 20 women finalists, how the whole thing is very unrealistic, and what it did for her career HOPES and EXPECTATIONS on making it + her career during American Idol the deep knowing of the outcomes of your experiences + opportunities time on BROADWAY - and the up's and down's of that life move to LOS ANGELES, like many of our amazing guests new song UNLABELED, the music video, + how it stemmed from being told she was "too big" to be a singer or to be in Hollywood real issues behind being a BODY POSITIVITY ACTIVIST - like Isabelle and Danika Brysha solutions and optimism for building body positivity, whether you're bigger, smaller, older, younger, and anything in between ability to FEED HER CREATIVITY response to people saying she's so "brave" for just being her take on PHOTOSHOP (*thumbs DOWN) SO MANY QUOTABLE GOODIES in this episode #Almost30Nation! We hope you feel as inspired as we do by our conversations with Isabelle.

EYH – Ep. 165 – Danika Brysha – Surrender your way to success and become a magnet for your dreams   Today’s guest, Model Meals Founder and CEO, Danika Brysha, may look a little familiar to some of you as she’s been a part of several campaigns as a plus-size/curve model for big names such as Target and Old Navy. While she has a successful modeling career now, it was winding road to get there.   From a young age, Danika continually struggled to feel that she was enough when it came to her body. Growing up in the era of the size double-zero, she focused on her weight for more than a decade of her life. This fixation eventually reached its breaking point when it led to bulimia and dental issues.   Wanting to take care of her body better, Danika stopped throwing up but turned to drugs to keep the weight at bay. This went on for quite some time until she graduated college in the television industry and had had it with her body image struggle. She let go and let herself settle into where her body naturally fell (about a size 12/14). She was soon approached by an agent who suggested that she get into plus-size modeling. After signing with an agency and moving out to New York, her modeling career took off, but she soon hit another snag.   Wanting to start off the New Year (a new career and move, too) renewed, she tried the Whole30 meal plan. She was blown away by her results and not only did she lose 15 pounds, but she was amazed at how much clarity she had and how amazing she felt. Her plus-size modelings clients didn’t agree and she started to lose modeling gigs. As a way to earn money, Danika offered to help people in New York City eat cleaner by making meals for them. This side-business went well, but she still wasn’t able to make ends meet.   It wasn’t long before Danika moved back to California where she grew up and moved into her parents’ garage. This was a serendipitous moment, however as it led to the eventual launch pf Model Meals with a friend and Danika has since signed with a new modeling agency.   Danika’s journey of self-love is one of several ups and downs, but instead of fighting against them she’s learned to surrender and use her own feelings as a guide through them. Her story is so relatable and there’s something that everyone can take away from it. I hope you enjoy our conversation as much I did. --   Questions Asked in This Episode: How did you get your start with modeling and eventually Model Meals? Was there a defining moment when you decided to stop fighting with yourself about your body? Is there something you do now or tap into when you’re feeling stressed? What did you feel like when you did your first Whole30? If you don’t eat well, do you find that it affects how you feel and work? What does your meditation practice look like? What is a future bio? What is the book you’re writing about? What does it look like for you to surrender? What has been the most challenging thing that you’ve had to walk away from in order to become who you are? And many more.   In This Episode We Talk about: Danika’s journey with her weight and finally feeling enough just the way she is Why food isn’t the problem rather our addiction to it The power of changing what you eat – for your body and brain The importance of knowing where your food is sourced from The power of manifestation Why we must surrender and let go for self-growth The importance of acknowledging and processing our feelings The therapeutic benefits of writing And so much more…   Quotes:   “I get to do what I love every day and that’s all that matters.”   “Food wasn’t the problem. It was that I used it as my drug.”   “We get so used to eating our normal diet that we never know there’s an alternative.”   “It’s selfish if we don’t do the self-work to tune in and figure out what our gift is.”   “The way to manifest your life is to feel the feelings first and the physical catches up.”   “A series of great days equals a great life.”   “Trust your feelings, not your surroundings.” -- Danika Brysha is an IMG Curve Model and the founder and CEO of Model Meals, a healthy meal delivery business. With a passion for personal growth and positive transformation, Danika sees food as the most valuable medicine available, and as an essential tool in fueling the body, mind, and soul, to build our best possible life.  After nearly two decades of disordered eating, Danika used nutritious food, mindfulness, and an essential daily self-care routine, to heal herself and to build the business and life of her dreams. Danika helps others to do the same by providing resources like Model Meals that make a healthy diet easy and accessible, and through the sharing of knowledge and experience provided in her coaching practice, retreats, digital media, and more. Danika also uses her platform as a curve model to help women rethink the traditional notion that beauty has only one shape and size.      Resources:   modelmeals.com Use code EARNYOURHAPPY and new clients will receive $25 off on their first order.
