    She left the relationship. Eight years ago. And she still didn’t know who she was.Aga Nowak grew up in a small town in Poland — climbing trees, swimming in rivers, building secret missions with her friends, surrounded by animals and open land so naturally that she didn’t even register it as something special. Then adulthood happened. A nearly two-decade relationship built on control. A voice that got quieter every year. And then the moment she left — finally, breathtakingly free — only to discover she had no idea what to do with all her freedom.✨ Book your free Threshold Assessment with Danielle:https://danielleys.com/calendarIn this episode, Danielle sits with Aga Nowak — nature guide and wayfinder — for a Soul Signature Excavation: a live excavation of the wisdom inside someone’s life and work, guided by Danielle's Infinite GLOW model (Gather, Let Go, Open Gaps, Weave).
