Episode notes

Are you reeeeady for the most epic conversation with my dear friend ⎯ author, copywriter, creative genius, and all-around badass ⎯ Dani Kreeft. She is such a gift, and I have a feeling this episode is going to make you feel deeply seen as a creative.

Dani’s a writer on a mission to find the most honest ways to say the things we most need to hear. Her new book, Waves Come in Sets, just launched and her story is so deeply relatable. She’s been following the creative impulse since she was young, weaving writing, photography, space holding, and community building into the fabric of her life. Dani is a living example of courage as a creative act ⎯ and creativity as an act of courage.

We dive into:

Creating for the love of it before thinking about sales, success, or external validation (0:00)
How a nomadic lifestyle shaped Dani’s perspective on belonging, stability, and self-trust (4:01)
Balancing creative integrity with financial sustainability (26:24)
The importance of finding spaces that support and inspire your creative process (38:20)
Doing things your way, whether it's how you write, launch a book, or build a career (47:48)
Moving beyond societal and industry expectations to craft a life and business that truly align with you (48:11)

If you're a writer, you're going to vibe with this. If you’ve ever danced between W-2 jobs and freelancing, taken leaps into the unknown, or lived the beautifully messy, nomadic dream, this conversation is full of HELL YES moments for you.
