Two sisters raised to be fierce dragon slayers end up on opposing sides of an impending war when one forms an unlikely, magical bond with a dragon, in this exciting, fresh contemporary young adult fantasy. Two sisters. Divided they burn. Two sisters raised to be fierce dragon slayers end up on opposing sides of an impending war when one forms an unlikely, magical bond with a dragon, in this exciting, fresh contemporary young adult fantasy. Dani and Eden Rivera were both born to kill dragons, but the sisters couldn't be more different. For Dani, dragon slaying takes a back seat to normal high school life, while Eden prioritizes training above everything else. Yet they both agree on one thing: it's kill or be killed where dragons are concerned. Until Dani comes face-to-face with one and forges a rare and magical bond. As she gets to know Nox, she realizes that everything she thought she knew about dragons is wrong. And, with Dani lost to the dragons, Eden turns to the mysterious and alluring sorcerers to help save her sister. Now on opposite sides of the conflict, the sisters will do whatever it takes to save the other. But the two are playing with magic that is more dangerous than they know, and there is another, more powerful enemy waiting for them both in the shadows.

This is a story that includes loss - In memory of William Jr.Dani describes her story as a faith journey to motherhood - a journey that has included pain, joy but also lots of hope. In 2010, a year into their marriage Dani and her husband found out they were pregnant. Yet early into this pregnancy, they would experience a miscarriage. Processing through that, they decided to wait before trying again, and three years later, Dani was pregnant. They found out it was a boy and knew they wanted to name him William Jr. after her husband.At 20 weeks, Dani began having spotting and increased bleeding. She spoke with her doctor, they did testing, but no cause for the bleeding was found. Yet at 32 weeks, Dani was having severe headaches, and being someone who was very in tuned with their body, Dani knew something was wrong. Staying persistent with her doctors, they discovered she had preeclampsia and would need to stay at the hospital until she reached full term. But at 28 weeks, September 2013, her placenta would stop working, and William Jr. was born. But William's time earthside would be short, and after a hard fight, he would pass that November.The passing of their son was extremely difficult for them. Working through their grief, they leaned into their family, friends, and support through therapy. During this time, they were connected with the March of Dimes. For Dani, March of Dimes provider her with the hope she needed. Connecting with other families with the same shared experience allowed them all to know they were not navigating this alone. Participating in the March of Dimes walk allows her and her husband to honor their son and the children they never met.This support and hope carried them through another miscarriage in 2014 and then becoming pregnant with their daughter Harper in 2015. Understanding her health history, Dani and her husband decided with their care team to have a surgical birth with Harper at 35 weeks. As a result of being born premature, she was diagnosed with Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) - where audio fibers in her ear either didn't develop or did and died. Because of that, she does wear bilateral hearing aids. But as Dani described beyond that, "she is doing well" and a "sign that miracles can happen!"Sponsors:March of Dimes | education, research, support & advocacy for moms and babiesMarch of Dimes, the leading nonprofit fighting for the health of all moms and babies, is observing National Birth Defects Prevention Month in January 2021.

Welcome to #quaranTALK ! While we are all in quarantine for the forseeable future I came up the with idea of a way to for us to maintain social distancing while talking about the things that are most important to us during this time of uncertainty. Join us each day on Instagram-live @thatvet_life to take part in the conversation, or you can listen to the post-recordings here. Either way, I encourage you to reach out and talk to those around you about what is going on and how it is affecting you. We are all connected and through sharing our stories and experiences we will see we can weather this storm, together. In today's episode, I chatting with my good friend Dani! @adventurous.vet There is a lot of uncertainty now facing us as our final year rotations have essentially been cancelled. It's all happened so fast and neither of us know what our next move will be. For Dani, she's stuck in the UK and trying to find her way home. For myself I am weighing up the possibilities for finding a job. Until next time, stay safe, stay sane. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/thatvet-life/message

Danijo’s divine storm struck when she was 23, unemployed and pregnant. For most, overwhelming. For Dani, an opportunity to step into alignment, pursue her passion and launch her first business platform. Through her deeply rooted faith, commitment to self-work, and trusting her internal guidance, she faced her truth and overcame the self-limiting beliefs she established as a child to start creating a more intentional life. Growing up in a predominantly white environment, she internalized the belief that just showing up as herself wasn’t enough, which led to years of overcompensating to prove (to herself) that she deserved to be where she was. She shares how she turned her struggles with belonging into her greatest asset and how she learned to set boundaries and step into her worth in order to fulfill her mission of uniting people from all walks of life to have the important conversations we need to create social change. There is no small-talk with Danijo. This badass mom on a mission gets vulnerable and shares tons of wisdom on the importance of self-reflection, role models, community and conversation in this episode about living a conscious, purpose driven life.    Enjoy!   Connect with our inspiring guest (who may just be the next Oprah): @danii__jo @female_department @apathyisboring Follow Sabrina’s self-love journey at @alicekasslingerie (http://instagram.com/alicekasslingerie) Follow Meg’s self-love journey at @meg_feens (http://instagram.com/meg_feens) Join the community and sign up (https://mailchi.mp/e77dc2f260ff/bedtalkspodcast) to our newsletter to be the first to know about new episodes, upcoming workshops and the latest self-love rituals and tips we’re into (with the bumps we hit along the way).

Characteristically later than intended, here's the conclusion to the previous episode. We both talk about our coming out process. For Justin, it's a fairly organized roadtrip. For Dani, well... it's Dani, so it's more about the journey than the destination. Oh, and we learn that trans people aren't feet. Come along and ride on a fantastic voyage!

In this week's episode of Scrubbed In, we talk about learning styles and the not-so-well-known Penguin Theory of learning. Haven't heard of it? Well....It's not exactly a real thing, but we're just going to go with it because we think it perfectly describes what learning in vet school is like. Lol! As you'll hear, vet school is full of people who learn differently and a key to surviving and thriving involves figuring out how you learn best. For Dani and I, figuring out how each of us learn best impacts how we study, take exams and even how we approach clinical rotations. And as we have experienced, once you do find your style it can make all the difference in how you choose to tackle opportunities presented to you in vet school. We hope you enjoy today's episode, and invite you to follow along on our journey through our final year in vet school. You can follow us both on Facebook and Instagram @ThatVet_Life and @adventurous.vet . If you want to support the podcast (which we hope you do) the best way is to simply share today's episode with a friend. If you want to go the extra mile you can even leave a review on Itunes. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/thatvet-life/message

Dani is a health coach in Tampa Bay, Florida and has been in the fitness industry for 12 years with a background in Psychology and Nutrition. Originally from Philadelphia, Dani moved to Florida to attend school at Nova Southeastern University. She partnered with a global, holistic health and wellness company in 2014 to heal her body from fatigue and stress.This partnership turned into a journey of mental and spiritual healing and created a deep desire to help women between the ages of 30-40 years old get their 'sexy back', while still enjoying their favorite foods. Dani specializes in helping women feel confident in their bodies, fall madly in love with themselves and their partners, all over again. A goal that Dani has set for herself this year is to listen to her body. If she needs a day off from working out or if her body is craving a certain food, she honors that. Dani recommends surrounding yourself with positive people who encourage you to reach your goals and become the best 'you' that you can be. Also, listening to podcasts and youtube videos to help get your mind in a healthy place. Dani and Julie talk about affirmations and how powerful they have been in their lives. Dani discusses the process of how she began using affirmations and how she continues to use them today. Meditation and Yoga are also important to Dani in her daily routine. A Gratitude Journal helps Dani to slow down and think about her life and what she is thankful for. Yoga allows her to feel refreshed and calm.  Dani shares that when you meditate you never completely clear your head, but it allows you to recognize your feelings and create solutions. For Dani, 'taking the upgrade' means working through the uncomfortable and also acknowledging the things that you have achieved. Dani's non-negotiables are faith, fitness, fun and daily affirmations. Right now Dani is reading Gabi Bernsteins Judgment Detox A favorite snack includes vegetables and her indulgence is ice cream and chocolate.  Connect with Dani:   Instragram: @DaniLeithead   Facebook: @dani.nicole.7543   Connect with us→ via social media: Facebook: www.facebook.com/anaturalshift Instagram: www.instagram.com/anaturalshift/ Follow Julie-->www.instagram.com/julie_ann_davey/ Follow Kari--> www.instagram.com/karicoody/   On the web: www.anaturalshift.com   Download our FREE ebooks: Top 3 Health Habits Upgrade your Cart - chip edition Check out our latest ebook: Upgrade your Lunchbox

Life can sometimes take unexpected turns. For Dani, she went from biology and conservation to full time artistry. She always liked the arts, but didn't realise her passion and need to create until she entered the world of needlefelting. Today she is at the forefront of the needlefelting community with an Instagram audience of 114k and counting.

This week I have an epic and inspiring mega-rant for you, with Dani Galvin, eating disorder survivor, insta influencer and fat activist from @iamdaniadriana. Dani is unapologetically HAPPY and embracing life, and because she dares to do all of this in a larger body, she’s a troll magnet. Trolling on the internet sucks, but trolling fat people for simply existing takes things to a new low. Join us for an awesome and fierce conversation about why the world needs fat activists, the psychology of troll mentality, what it’s like to have an eating disorder when you’re fat, and much, much more!   Show Notes Dani has had a gutful of trolls on her Insta account, who on a daily basis harass and threaten her via DM and public posts on her Insta account. The aim of trolling isn’t debate or healthy criticism – it’s bullying, and they want to scare people off the internet. Dani’s convinced that the trolls have some deep seated psychological issues. Happy people just don’t feel compelled to bully strangers on the internet. Dani believes that forgiveness is a powerful tool – it helps her to let go of the impact. That doesn’t mean she doesn’t speak out against it! Places such as Reddit are dark holes where the hatred is real. Dani gets a lot of DM’s with links to Reddit, which is always bad. Or messages from people accusing her of promoting obesity. These people aren’t even reading her captions, they just look at her body at make judgements. It pisses them off that Dani exists and doesn’t feel ashamed of her body. She’s had trolls say things such as they ‘wouldn’t even rape her’. As if rape is a privilege? Trolling like this reveals the multiple levels of hatred and misogyny underpinning this kind of behaviour. This is not normal. Louise used to work with sex offenders in gaol, and agrees with Dani that threats of sexual or other violence is all about control – not sex. It’s using sex as a weapon to intimidate and exert power and control over women. Louise’s hat is off to all fat activists on SM! This message is so needed, but to think about how dangerous it is because of the constant trolling – it’s another level of trauma. It doesn’t bother Dani as much anymore. She’s had so many micro aggressions against her body in the real world, that online doesn’t matter. It worries Dani that the level of aggression towards people like Dani will scare other people in larger bodies away from fat activism or even just being ‘out and fat’. It’s a huge process to wake up from diet culture, to reject the idea that something is wrong with you or your body, and to stand against diet culture. It takes a long time, and everyone ends up in different places. Not everyone will end up being a fat activist! It’s ok for people in the body positivity process to be in different places. We’re all different and we need to respect that difference of experience. We need to think of the concept of psychological diversity as well as body diversity! To get over the trauma of diet culture, we all need to go through the stages of grief in order to let it go. This can take time, and it’s not easy. Regardless of how far you move away from diet culture, it’s not realistic to wake up every day loving your body! It’s not about loving your appearance. It’s about finding peace and acceptance. It’s about honouring and riding the tough stuff. And the reason you feel like this isn’t your fault – it was taught to you by diet culture. The default is diet culture, and it’s easy to be performative in that. It’s harder to stand up and cognitively and emotionally work through this shit. Dani has been in LOTS of therapy, and has done a lot of work to get where she is now. She didn’t wake up one day glowing with body love. Many of us are expected to be ‘performative’ in diet culture, by which Dani means we are expected to perform certain social rituals to meet social norms. Such as, taking part in body shaming when we’re with a group of women, or taking part in conversations which encourage food guilt. Diet culture performances, like feeling bad for eating the office birthday cake, is so in-built and multi generational. It’s literally never questioned in diet culture. Why can’t we just go to the party and enjoy the cake? There’s this strong idea that we need to diminish ourselves in front of others in order to be a ‘good person’. We’re doing it to fit in, to be accepted by others. Diet culture emphasises that what we eat equals who we are. And that certain types of food consumption patterns make us better or worse people. This is monstrous and serves to further oppress marginalised groups. When you’re a fat person in diet culture, how does the performative stuff show up? Being performative in diet culture as a fat person means always trying to lose weight – being a ‘good fatty’. There’s this strong idea that you can’t start living your life until you meet the goal of being thin. Dani had a list of things on her computer that she’d never do until she lost weight. These included going on a holiday, falling in love, wearing a swimsuit and getting a tattoo – things she’s done now, in her fat body! Dani had an extreme eating disorder for many years. She is scared by statistics that show that 1 in 4 people who diet will develop an eating disorder. There’s a push in certain research circles to say that dieting doesn’t lead to eating disorders in fat people. For Dani, dieting was a ‘gateway drug’ to an eating disorder. Not the only factor, but definitely a big one. Dani thinks the reason eating disorder professionals are making these claims is because now that eating disorders in higher weight people are being recognised, they don’t feel comfortable not prescribing weight loss! Weight stigma anyone? Dani’s eating disorder was really vicious, and she remembers being given the seriously screwed up mixed messages – ‘you’re taking it a bit far…but you’re doing really well.” Comments and perceptions like this meant that for Dani, during the last 2 years of having her eating disorder, all she thought about was wanting to die. Eating disorders have the highest mortality rate of all mental illnesses, and a large proportion of these are suicides. How many people in larger bodies are dying because of weight stigma in eating disorder treatment? The DSM needs to stop using the BMI as a criterion for diagnosis. No other mental illness has a weight requirement. Imagine just how high the eating disorder rate in people in larger bodies is. Dani suffered terribly from her eating disorder, but because of her higher weight, she struggled for it to be recognised and properly treated. It was by chance that she stumbled across a therapist who finally saw her and what was going on. Without that, Dani might not be here. There’s a lot of evidence to show that the impact of weight stigma on health is just as impactful as BMI itself. Dani appeared on a tv show alongside some of the ex Biggest Loser contestants (who had put on all of the weight again) and a whole pile of people doing weight loss surgery. Dr Dixon was there, spruiking the fact that diets don’t work therefore give everyone surgery. Dani was the lone voice of body positivity! We’ve let weight and diets become our church and we’re now equating our appearance to something spiritually meaningful. Dieting is literally the new religion. It’s healthist and exclusionary. The ‘obesity epidemic’ rhetoric puts all fat people in the same category and labels them as diseased, AND pretends that body size is a choice. This rhetoric keeps us all imprisoned, as thin people are terrified of fat too. It's rare to come across a health professional that actually cares about your experience as a human on the planet, to see beyond your BMI. Dani’s wish is to continue to advocate for larger people via her Insta platform, and she won’t let the trolls stop her! Her hope is that if she has kids or grandkids and they’re fat, that their experience won’t be like hers was. Her Insta account is a safe haven for people in larger bodies.
