Dana Grant International Coach

Here is the question I come back to every time I am trying to make a decision from a place of alignment.

Does this feel like love or does this feel like ego?

The ego wants to expand. It wants to prove, to win, to be seen. And it is convincing.

But the heart always knows the difference.

Love feels spacious. Ego feels urgent.

Love moves toward something. Ego moves away from something it is afraid of losing.

Before your next big decision sit with this. Is this coming from my heart or from my need to be right, to be validated, to be enough?

That answer will tell you everything.

Save this and share it with someone standing at a crossroads right now. 🙏✨

What an incredible honor.

The July issue of She Means Business is live and I am so deeply grateful to be featured alongside such extraordinary women.

To be recognized as a voice for authentic leadership and personal transformation means everything to me. This work — the coaching, the community, the conversations — it is my whole heart. And to see it reflected back this way is something I do not take lightly.

Thank you She Means Business Magazine

How would we get through this crazy life without dear friends? ❤️

This girls’ weekend at the coast was filled with fall-down laughter, holding space for grief and tears, way too much delicious food, long beach walks and heartfelt talks, and sunset soaks in the hot tub.

The truth is, life can be hard. You might look at this reel and think everything is perfect, but the reality is that life is almost always a mix of joy and struggle.

That’s why friendships like this matter so much. Having people who celebrate with you, cry with you, laugh until your stomach hurts, and remind you who you are is one of life’s greatest gifts.

Getting away together in beautiful Fort Bragg—with sunshine the universe so generously delivered—was exactly what our hearts needed.

Feeling lifted, refreshed, and revitalized. ✨

Tag your go-to girlfriends and tell us: where’s the next place you’d love to escape together?

What if midlife isn’t a decline but a revolution?

This week on The Dana Grant Show, I’m joined by Catherine Grace O’Connell, Ageism Positivist, Empowerment Cat-alyst, and Founder of Forever Fierce: The Ageless Revolution.

Catherine is a bold voice for the Modern Midlife Woman, redefining what’s possible beyond traditional timelines and societal limits.

As the Chief Executive Cat-alyst of MODlife Media, she leads a female-focused digital media agency dedicated to amplifying message-driven women.

Through her global community, Catherine empowers women to reclaim their voice, vitality, and visibility.

It was such an honor to be on Action News Now discussing The Truth Within the Lie. ✨

Sharing this work on a platform like that feels deeply meaningful. This book was born from lived experience, hard questions, and a commitment to truth over comfort. To speak about it publicly and invite others into that conversation is something I don’t take lightly.

The Truth Within the Lie is not about reinventing yourself. It’s about remembering who you were before the world told you who to be.

Grateful for the opportunity. Grateful for the message. Grateful for every person willing to listen. 💫

So honored to be a guest on Miss Understood with Rachel Uchitel.
This conversation went deep. We talked about why so many of us live small, perform for approval, and slowly betray our own truth without even realizing it.

The Truth Within the Lie isn’t about finding yourself, it’s about remembering who you’ve always been.

If you’ve ever felt caught between who you are and who you pretend to be, this episode might wake something up in you.

Strength in heels looks like this ✨

Erika is the embodiment of grit, grace, and a little glitz. Director of Performance Systems, founder of multiple women’s networks, author, speaker, and proud mama, she proves you don’t have to choose between power and polish.

In this conversation, she shares how resilience is built through grit, how grace keeps her grounded, and why making it fun matters. If you’ve ever been knocked down and questioned your next rise, her story will remind you what’s possible.
