The past two weeks included a trip to California, another round of The Imperfect Boss campaign, and a busy week trying to catch up on emails. On my mind... With all of that going on, the idea of the entrepreneurial "hustle" and finding the right flow in my business have been weighing heavily on my mind. You can read more of my personal feelings on hustling in the first Instagram post below. I'd love to know your thoughts in a blog comment or Instagram comment!

What I'm loving... I can't get enough of The Lively Show podcast and the direction Jess is going with flow, intention, energy, quantum mechanics, etc. It's so fascinating! What podcast are you loving lately?

Hi! I'm Danielle,

I’m an SEO + content marketing strategist with over a decade of experience in the industry.⁠

I work with passionate, purpose-driven business owners and marketing directors who are tired of trying to do All The Things and spreading their efforts too thin. They want to know what's working, what's not working, and where they should really be spending their time and money.⁠

But I'll be honest- I'm not here for the people chasing vanity metrics. My philosophy is grounded in people-first marketing and what I've dubbed #SEOwithSoul. I don't believe in hacks and "beating algorithms" as a long term strategy.⁠
