We are back with Season 2 of The Confidence Hour. We are kicking things off with an incredibly raw and honest solo episode.

In this episode Dani dives into: The Decision for Surgery: Why Dani chose arm skin removal 10 years after her gastric sleeve. The "Easy Way Out" Stigma: Addressing why surgery is actually one of the hardest physical and mental challenges. Mental Health & Stillness: Navigating post-op depression and the loneliness of moving to a new country. Body Autonomy vs. Body Positivity: Why loving yourself means having the power to make your own choices. The Cost & Recovery: Answering your questions about the price of surgery and the long road to feeling "light" again. Confidence isn't about being perfect; it's about showing up.
