Today we’d like to introduce you to Danielle Faust.
Thanks for sharing your story with us Danielle. So, let’s start at the beginning and we can move on from there.
It was my personal development journey is what led me to my coaching practice and a hobby of writing and habit of oversharing that led to my lifestyle blogging career. A spiritual awakening led to my metaphysical practice. Back in 2003, I had my first awakening and started a personal development journey to help transform me from a “party girl” into a professional. Along the way, I fell in love with self-help and with manifesting and positive psychology. This led to me getting my coaching certification in 2010 through a program up at NYU (before moving down here to FL) and starting to see clients.
Around that time, I started blogging more regularly and building up an audience from what was just a personal blog. Over the years as a family lifestyle blogger, I partnered with many national brands, traveled around the country, spoke on many stages. I got to interview celebrities, including my she-ro Oprah and made a good living, but the “helping” aspect felt limited.
I have slowed down on blogging, and now primarily coach women on how they can monetize their digital presence and make living blogging even with a small site. I teach strategies to get online entrepreneurs seen, trusted, and earning. I still do personal life coaching with clients and have deepened my practice by adding metaphysical practices to the mix. This means I offer energy healing and clearing services like reiki as well as intuitive readings. I do manifestation coaching and host the podcast Manifest It Sis as well. My goal in life is to help women live happy, healthy lives they love and right now, the podcast, readings and coaching feels like the most aligned ways of doing that for me.
Has it been a smooth road?
I wish it was a smooth road! I had bumps along the way, from personal challenges like dealing with anxiety and depression, or suddenly losing my baby brother and handling my spouse’s job loss. To technical issues, and making poor hiring decisions of the contractors, I would bring on for various projects. I learn a lot with each misstep, so I’m grateful for the growth.
Overall my trajectory has been upward in my business, but there are always challenges to traverse. It can be something that requires I get more education, or a certification, or a mindset challenge I need to work through. Either way, I overcome.
We’d love to hear more about your work.
So my business is multifaceted. I have the two types of coaching that I do:
1. Online business and blog monetization consulting / social media monetization coaching/consulting.
2. Life coaching with a manifesting/spiritual wellness specialty
I have my speaking engagements on the topics of wellness, manifesting and blogging as a business, as well as monetizing your digital presence. I have the metaphysical practitioner work I do energy healing, intuitive readings, reiki, crystal healing. What I’m known for depends mostly on my audience on various social media platforms. I think what sets me apart from others is my general vibe and the fact that I blend the “woo woo” with the practical in everything I do and the results my clients get are faster because of the blend of energetics and practical actions.
Let’s touch on your thoughts about our city – what do you like the most and least?
I moved here about five years ago and since I run my business from home, I feel very housebound. I love best about Miami, the variety of restaurants, the culture at large and the variety of cultures represented. It reminds me of home (NY) in that way. I like walking down the street and hearing multiple languages being spoken by passersby.
What I like least is the traffic. Why is there always a detour?! I can’t take it. I’m a zen person… but that road rage tho!
