Hi, I'm Danielle!

I'm a director of a small alternative high school that serves at-risk and disadvantaged youth and a writer living in New York. I created Struck Inside Out in 2014 when I realized that the personal stories I wrote in my journals could help people facing similar challenges.

 

Growing up, I thought I was too connected to my emotions. Now, I honor and embrace my ability to feel so profoundly. It's one of my greatest blessings. 

​

Once I started publishing content in the Struck Inside Out community, I received  positive feedback from readers who were relieved to discover that they weren't alone in their experiences.

​

In the last ten years I've been published in Best Self Magazine, Thought Catalog, and Elite Daily. I've run writing workshops, created a mastermind with some incredible women, launched a podcast, worked on brand partnerships,  became a meditation teacher on Insight Timer, and published my first book, Struck Inside Out: Essays, Meditations, and Poetry to Help You Heal Heartbreak, Embrace Change, and Love Yourself. 

 

My intention is to uplift and inspire you to embrace the true nature of who you are.​ I hope Struck Inside Out encourages you to experiment with new ways of being while loving yourself throughout the process.

 

I believe when you pursue beauty in your everyday world, you create a more purposeful and meaningful life.

​

Sending love always,

​

Danielle
