A podcast for honest reflection, gentle curiosity, and healing.
Some episodes are conversations with inspiring people. Others are solo voice (video)-notes from me, Danielle Rose (@daniellerose143) real-time lessons, questions, and belief shifts as I learn to reclaim my identity after years of abuse.
If you’re navigating self-discovery or a season of growth, you’re welcome here. Hopefully, this podcast can serve as a reminder to the over thinkers out there, you're not alone in your big thoughts & feelings.
Disclaimer: Personal reflections only—not medical or mental health advice.
What does it actually look like to chase your dreams when you have no idea what you’re doing?
Lately, for me, it looks like learning how to start a business, figuring out insurance and finances, planning my own dance workshops, putting my ideas out into the world, and getting a crash course in all the things I somehow never learned in school.
In this episode, I’m talking about the messy middle of pursuing a creative life — learning business fundamentals, questioning the way we’re taught to learn, overcoming the fear of rejection, and trusting yourself enough to act on an idea before you know exactly how it’s all going to work.
I also share a belief I keep coming back to: big ideas are out there, and when one finds you, maybe your job isn’t to hold onto it until everything is perfect. Maybe your job is to do something with it.
If you’re figuring out your career, building something of your own, pursuing a creative dream, or just wondering what the heck you’re doing with your life… this one’s for you.
Stay Curious, Stay Kind. 🤍

I Don't Want to Be Angry Anymore
apparently today we’re unpacking my anger issues!! but tell me, how do YOU let go of anger and resentment?
I’ve realized I don’t want to keep waking up angry at people, situations, or life not going the way I expected it to.
So we’re talking about resentment, expectations, control, empathy, letting go & whatever else comes out of my mouth along the way.
I don’t have the answers. I’m just figuring it out out loud. 🤍

What If the Dream You Can’t Let Go of Means Something?
What if the dream you keep coming back to isn’t something you’re supposed to let go of?
Lately, I’ve been navigating a lot of uncertainty, career changes, inconsistent income, figuring out what I actually want my life to look like, and trying to trust myself through all of it.
I keep coming back to the same thing: dance.
In this morning chat, I talk about leaving social media management, finding my way back to dance, creating a heels dance workshop in Raleigh, following your dreams even when they don’t make perfect sense, and learning to believe in yourself before anyone else does.
Maybe we don’t need to have everything figured out. Maybe the dreams we can’t seem to let go of are trying to tell us something.
What’s the dream you keep coming back to?
Stay curious. Stay kind. 🤍

Life Fell Apart... So I'm Starting Over.
Curiosity changed my life.It helped me stop asking, "What's wrong with me?" and start asking, "Why am I the way I am?"That one shift has led me down paths of healing, dance, psychology, philosophy, spirituality, creativity, and understanding myself in ways I never thought were possible.If you're asking big questions about your own life, I hope these conversations give you permission to ask them too. It's never to late to start over, build again or be exactly where you are. This is your life, make the most of it! Stay curious.Stay kind. - Danielle Rose (143)

How Do You Find Closure If A Relationship Isn't For You Anymore? with Della Downey
Welcome back to my podcast, Stay Curious, Stay Kind! I’m your host, Danielle Rose and today I'm sitting down with one of my closest friends Della Downey. We met right before the pandemic through work in Los Angeles. I immediately connected with her and she is someone who helped me get into my healing journey! Love you for that, sis <3
Della Downey was born and raised in New Jersey and brought her talent and love for music to Los Angeles. From stealing the mic to sing the Italian version of Ave Maria when she was 3 at a wedding to performing singles Upgrade and Again from her debut EP ‘Love, Yours Truly’, at Los Globos, a love for music has always been a part of Della’s life. She’s been inspired by her mother Sherrie Downey’s perseverance, and the support in all of her endeavors that she shows. Della was raised and lives her life in the reflection of love and compassion. You can hear it in her music which is currently on all platforms. Multifaceted, Della also has her bachelors degree in photography which she received amidst her pursuit in music. She also is honing her craft in hip hop, and heels dances, e-commerce modeling, and creative direction. We’re looking forward to hearing what she’s got for us in 2024.
Today we talk about healing from people pleasing tendencies, finding closure after a relationship, attachment styles and how to go from friends to lovers! And since this is still the beginning process of my podcast there will inevitable be some hiccups… so unfortunately, my recording equipment overheated for the first part of this podcast and it is no where to be found :( BUT I felt this conversation was too good to not share. I hope you can find something in here that you resonate with and maybe something you needed to hear today. Stay Curious, Stay Kind!

Is it Possible To Be Great Again? with Ex-Pro Dancer: Miller Daurey
Welcome to Stay Curious, Stay Kind, a podcast I created to ask the deep questions I love asking.
In this episode, I get a chance to sit down with my incredible friend Miller Daurey. Miller is a former professional teen dancer who quit dance at 19 — just when his career was really taking off. In his docuseries, Back To Great, he explores returning to dance training 3 decades later and all that entails. It’s his hope to inspire and remind others… it’s never too late to go back to something you once loved. Today we talk about what it's like training at Millennium Dance Complex, finding comfort in trusting the universe and learning how to stay true to yourself.
(Please excuse the lowish quality of sound - I pushed the wrong button on my mics before we started recording ugh BUT this episode was too good not to post. I hope you can still enjoy and get something from this conversation!)
Here's where you can find Miller:

Is It Worth It? Moving to Los Angeles from Denmark In Pursuit of a Professional Dance Career? with Mathilde Veje
Welcome to Stay Curious, Stay Kind, a podcast I created to ask the deep questions I love asking. Stay tuned if you love deeper than surface level conversations :)
Today's FIRST episode is with Mathilde Veje, one of my bestest friends, my spirit animal, my wife (lol). I met Mathilde when she stumbled into the apartment I was living in one random day in 2017 and we've been besties ever since. Mathilde is a great inspiration in my life because no matter what gig she books, or artist she's dancing around or what type of stage she's on, she is kind, humble and hard working. The hustle on this girl is insane and the passion that drives that is even more inspiring. Mathilde you know I'll forever want to be you when I grow up.
Listen up to hear us chit chat about the reality behind what it's like moving from Denmark to dance in Los Angeles, an NBA dance team audition, imposter syndrome, how to network in LA & learning to find the positives in what could be considered a less than desirable reality.
Connect with us on social media - @mathilde.veje @daniellerose143 & my amazing PA hehe @kirasusak ALSO huge shoutout to my brother for creating some dope intro and outro music!! Check out all his social medias as well @muzikm4n
