Welcome to Her Turn - the podcast for the woman who’s come out the other side of something life changing... and quietly wondering, what now? Maybe the kids are with their dad this week. You’re waking up solo for the first time after years in a relationship. You’ve just left the job that drained you - or your body’s still healing from something life-changing. And now the noise has settled… and the quiet feels a little louder than you expected. Hosted by Dani Hanlon, coach and your no-BS bestie, Her Turn is here to meet you in that space - the in-between - and help you figure out what’s next in a way that feels gentle, grounded, and real. These episodes are full of the stuff no one prepares you for: How weird it can feel to have time to yourself again. How to untangle who you are now to move towards the ‘her’ you want to be And how to start dreaming bigger about what your life could look like now - without needing to roll out a fool-proof five-year plan first. No pressure. No toxic positivity. Just soft honesty, real talk and a reminder that your next chapter can be beautiful, even if the way forward isn’t clear yet. You’ve done the hard part. Now it’s your turn. New episodes drop weekly. If you want to dive deeper into the work Dani does coaching women just like you, follow along on Instagram @coached.by.dani or visit www.danihanlon.com

    The co-parenting taboo no-one talks about

    Most co-parenting advice out there assumes two emotionally regulated adults - but many women are navigating a very different reality. When you’re the one holding the emotional stability, managing communication, and absorbing the ripple effects of another adult’s behaviour, the load becomes far heavier than anyone acknowledges. In this episode, Dani explores the hidden emotional labour of being the 'regulated parent’, why the exhaustion you feel isn’t a personal failure, and how chronic co-parenting stress impacts your nervous system, sleep, and sense of calm. Most importantly, Dani talks about what it takes to begin shifting out of constant alert mode and start creating real internal safety again.   Work With Dani: Explore coaching options, intensives, and grab a copy of her free Gap Map – a 17-page roadmap for rebuild - here: https://go.danihanlon.com/linktree-main

    What I'm building in my 40s (and why it's different)

    In this episode, Dani shares what she’s building in her 40s - and why this season of life calls for a very different approach. She talks about rebuilding after big change, letting go of hustle and survival mode, and choosing to build from self-trust, calm, and intention instead. If you’re navigating midlife, separation, burnout, or a quiet sense that you want more ease and clarity, this conversation will land.   In this episode, you’ll hear: Why fear gets louder when you’re expanding - and how to move anyway What building from self-trust actually looks like in real life How priorities shift in midlife (and why that’s a strength) Why calm, health, and energy are non-negotiables in this season What Dani’s consciously choosing not to build from anymore   Book your 90-minute intensive coaching session at a special rate for February and March 2026: https://go.danihanlon.com/90mins-alignment

    Lessons from last year and my word for 2026

    If you’ve come through a big year of growth and change, only to find yourself in a quieter season wondering who you’ve become and what you’re stepping into next, this episode is for you. In this episode of Her Turn, Dani reflects on the lessons 2025 shaped in her - the kind that don’t come from big wins or loud celebrations, but from small daily choices, personal pivots, and moments that quietly change who you’re becoming. She shares why real growth is often invisible while it’s happening, how learning to pivot became essential in the face of unexpected personal challenges, and why personal development is a long game - not a quick fix. From navigating deep personal change, and the emotional weight of a big year, Dani explores what it truly means to rebuild, evolve, and lead your life with intention. You’ll also hear the story behind her word for 2026 and why choosing intention over hustle, pressure, and panic is shaping the way she’s building her life, business, and next chapter. This episode is a reminder that growth doesn’t have to be loud, healing isn’t linear, and you don’t have to force your future - sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is trust yourself enough to keep moving forward.

Because slow isn’t stuck - it’s the strongest foundation for your next chapter.

In this episode of Her Turn, Dani dives into the question that feels simple but can stop a woman dead in her tracks: “What do I want?” You’ll discover why this question feels so triggering, especially if you've spent years putting yourself last on the list, the hidden ways it shows up in daily life, and how ignoring it is keeping you stuck in survival mode. More importantly, you’ll learn how to start rebuilding your self-trust, reclaiming your voice and reconnecting with what lights you up. This is your guide to rediscovering yourself, choosing again, and creating a life that get to feel like your own again.

    Why you can't manifest your way out of burnout (and what to do instead)

    Are you feeling beyond tired - mentally drained, emotionally flat, and spiritually disconnected? You might be dealing with something much deeper than just needing a good night’s sleep. In this episode of Her Turn, we’re getting real about burnout - the kind that vision boards and positive vibes alone can’t fix. If you’ve ever been told to “just think positive” or “raise your vibration” when your body is begging you to rest, this conversation with Dani will feel like the exhale you didn’t know you needed. You’ll learn: What burnout really is (hint: it’s more than just being tired) The early warning signs most women miss Why rest is not a reward - it’s a requirement How to protect your energy before it’s too late Gentle, practical steps to recover without guilt, shame, or hustle This episode is especially for the high-achieving, over-giving women who keep pushing through - even when their nervous system is screaming for a pause. You’ll walk away feeling seen, supported, and more equipped to prioritise yourself in a world that teaches you not to. 💛 Journal Prompt: What would shift in your life if you stopped 'earning' your rest - and started honouring it? ✨ Let’s Keep Going: Follow Dani on Instagram @coached.by.dani for nervous system tools, mindset resets, and self-worth reminders Share this episode with a friend who needs to hear that rest is allowed Subscribe so you never miss a soul pep talk on your journey back to yourself

    Is it selfish to want more? Let’s talk about the guilt that comes with growth

    Have you ever felt a quiet tug for more - more space, more meaning, more time for you - only to be hit with a wave of guilt for even thinking it? If you’ve ever caught yourself wondering, “Shouldn’t I just be grateful?” or “Who am I to want more when others have less?”, this episode of Her Turn is for you. Today, Dani unpacks the deeply ingrained guilt that so many women carry when they begin to crave something beyond what they’ve been told is “enough.” This isn’t about toxic ambition or abandoning gratitude - it’s about honouring your truth without apology. You’ll hear: Why women are conditioned to feel guilty for prioritising themselves How to recognise the voice behind your guilt - and release what’s not yours The power of holding both gratitude and desire at the same time How to take small, guilt-free steps toward what lights you up Why wanting more isn’t selfish - it’s your signal to grow Whether it’s a shift in your career, your relationships, or just a deeper relationship with yourself, this episode invites you to stop silencing your desires and start exploring what’s next - with tenderness, courage, and zero guilt. 💭 Journal Prompt: What’s one thing you’ve been quietly wanting, but haven’t allowed yourself to name? ✨ Keep the Conversation Going: DM me on Instagram @coached.by.dani and tell me: what’s the “more” you’re ready to claim? Share this with a friend who’s been downplaying their desires - you never know who needs this permission slip. Leave a quick review if this resonated - it helps more women hear the message that they’re allowed to want more.

    The stories we tell ourselves (and how to rewrite them)

    Are you stuck in a loop of self-doubt, burnout, or feeling like you’re never enough - no matter how hard you try? You’re not alone. In this powerful episode of Her Turn, we’re diving deep into the silent stories that shape your inner world and your outer reality. Whether it’s “I’m too much,” “I’ll never figure this out,” or “This is just how life is for me,” these quiet thoughts often run the show without us even realising. But here’s the truth: you didn’t choose most of those stories - and that means you get to choose new ones. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why the beliefs running your life were likely inherited - not consciously chosen How to identify, unpack, and reframe limiting stories that keep you stuck The neuroscience behind why your brain believes what you repeat - and how to use that to your advantage Four practical steps to rewrite the narrative and start living in alignment with who you’re becoming A simple mindset shift that helps you break the pattern of perfectionism and people-pleasing If you’re a woman who’s been showing up for everyone else, doubting yourself behind the scenes, or quietly questioning whether more is possible for you - this one’s for you.
