QUESTION EVERYTHING

Danielle is exceptional at what she does. She has said that she wants to be the millennial Barbara Walters, but in so many ways, she has carved out her own standard of excellence. Her interviewing style combines genuine empathy and kindness with incredibly thoughtful, insightful, and provocative questions that consistently bring out the best in her guests. Her conversations also seem to reveal the depth of her character and the person of integrity she is off camera. She creates space for authentic conversations with depth and at times complexity, making people feel truly seen. Danielle is a true superstar, and I have no doubt she will continue rising to the very top—whatever she wishes that to look like. I can’t wait to see where her talent, curiosity, and humanity take her next.

I’ve been a longtime listener and I’m honestly proud to see Danielle’s growth and the growth of the pod. Always inspirational always authentic.

I’m a 2x entrepreneur turned mom and artist. I went from being in the spotlight to feeling lost in the suburbs with two kids at home. Listening to this podcast is one of the ways that kept me going, evolving as a human and being inspired by these episodes. The Imposter Syndrome episode especially hit home. Thank you for doing this work!

My ultimate go-to podcast. Danielle Robay has truly outdone herself, creating a continuous body of work that invites deep reflection and asks the kinds of pretty smart, pretty cool, and pretty intuitive questions that can only further your personal growth from within. From learning how to be bolder in my life with Bozoma Saint John, to embracing the hustle and going after what you want regardless of where you're from or what your background is, with Tika Sumpter. Reaffirming my love for Love itself, as the ultimate lover girl, with one of my favorite authors, Tia Williams. Confirming that everything truly begins and ends with mindset - even in the smallest daily moments through the wisdom of the mother of mindfulness, Dr. Ellen Langer. As a Philly girl myself, I connected deeply with Eve’s story…her trials, her triumphs. I’ve been practicing getting out of my head and into my heart through daily heart exercises I learned from Kimberly Snyder. The much needed episode with Ego Nwodim reminded me of the importance of listening to my intuition, something I’ve always struggled with, despite it never steering me wrong. A love letter to complicated women, Jada Pinkett Smith’s episode gave me permission to revel in being a complex, layered woman. In a society that often demands women be perfect in every way to earn respect, love, kindness, compassion, and understanding, her voice and words were a balm. And then, Ashlyn Harris. Just simply… Ashlyn Harris. That episode gave me life. As a competitive woman striving to be excellent in everything I do, with myself as my own greatest competition, her story struck a powerful chord. A woman driven to close the gaps of racial and gender inequality. A woman who should be the face of pivoting after planning. She was everything. There are parts of people that remind me of myself and then there’s Ashlyn Harris, she felt most like me. Danielle herself is one of the few journalists who consistently asks all the right questions, without ever crossing boundaries to get there. She knows what we want to hear, the answers we need, and how to follow her own pretty bold intuition to get them. Pretty Smart…Danielle and her guests make me feel pretty ready to tackle everything, one day at a time…and to question everything, one pod at a time.
