Warrior by Day
A blog to inspire self-awareness, self-acceptance and remind us all that we have more control than we think we do.
Become more resilient to uncertainty.
Embrace the full spectrum of human emotions.
Trust yourself.
You are a warrior.
Which battle are you facing today?
Fertility Warriors
For my fellow sisters and brothers riding the roller coaster of family-building challenges.
Corporate Warriors
For my fellow "suits-turned-into-pyjamas" high-achievers struggling with balancing the drive to achieve and succeed with the desire for balance, health and contentment.
Everyday Warriors
We are never alone. We all connected by the human emotions we experience through struggles, mis-steps and unexpected challenges. And we all have the same opportunity to learn and grow from those challenges with the right mindset.
About Danielle
I am a scientist by training, but a philosopher at heart. I am often challenged to see the “gray” in the world because I’ve been trained to seek definitive answers. Writing has always been my medium for processing uncertainty and finding my own inner strength, but it’s always just been for me. Here I will share my stories and lessons, using my authentic voice to help others feel less alone.
