Sensitive. Ep 33: Quiet Marketing for HSP Entrepreneurs with Dani Gardner
In this soul-nourishing episode, we sit down with Dani Gardner—coach, creator of "quiet marketing," and guide for highly sensitive and neurodivergent business owners. Dani shares how she's built a quietly magnetic business rooted in authenticity, emotional clarity, and deep personal values.
We explore what it means to become discoverable instead of constantly visible, how Human Design shapes her business strategy, and the small but radical choices that have made her work more values-aligned and sustainable. From eliminating lead magnets to reimagining boundaries with clients, Dani invites us into a business model that prioritizes presence, integrity, and life-first living.
