Another Way with Dani

Exhibition as a Way of Life: Ali Bravo

In this episode (which was recorded in February 2026) I sit down with my dear friend, Ali Bravo, and we talk about our shared way of moving in the world which includes a pull toward exhibitionism... in many different ways. This is about being a vulnerable storyteller. Whether it's through writing and art, or on social media, or just with friends or in community. We get into why we're called to be so out and loud and sometimes messy or shocking in the world, and also the ways we've strengthened this muscle over time, and even what can go wrong and how to move through that. If you're someone who wants to feel more expressed and raw in how you share privately or publicly, we've got ideas and tips for ya! Plus, some fun little stories sprinkled in for you to enjoy.  This was the perfect topic to celebrate 30 episodes of the Another Way podcast, which has been a potent and healing outlet for sharing more and more of myself with the world - and uplifting others' voices so they can do the same. I hope you enjoy it!   Oh and here's the Ignite Talk I mention in the episode: Insights from the Dick Funnel [https://youtu.be/tc8HE4akAWY?si=S14_VZGReHfP57YW] Connect with Ali: * Instagram: @raptorbravo [https://www.instagram.com/raptorbravo] * Her leatherwork on Instagram: @raptrix [https://www.instagram.com/raptrix] * Leatherwork website: www.raptrix.com [https://raptrix.myshopify.com/]  A note from Dani: This podcast is a passion project for me and I love doing it, and I want to keep doing it!

It’s All the (Mom) Rage: An Inquiry Into Motherhood - Minna Dubin

I had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with Minna Dubin, author of MOM RAGE: The Everyday Crisis of Modern Motherhood. We talked about all the things that not enough people (in my humble opinion) are naming and talking about in regards to Moms and the expectations and pressure we put on them, paired with all the ways we are not supporting, acknowledging, or listening to them.  We asked the questions, "Why is motherhood not working for so many people?" and "Why are so many women not choosing motherhood?" Minna not only shares vulnerably around her own experiences but also has a wealth of research and recommendations for things we can actually do to help shift things.  Learn more about and connect with Minna: * On her website: MinnaDubin.com [https://www.minnadubin.com/]  * On her instagram: @minnadubin [https://www.instagram.com/minnadubin] A note from Dani: This podcast is a passion project for me and I love doing it, and I want to keep doing it!

At the Intersection of Clown Mother & Therapist: Maya Culbertson-Lane

Oh boy this was a fun interview! I loved talking with Maya Culbertson‑Lane about all the things including her journey as a performance artist and clown, what clowning means to each of us and the role it plays, her experiences with being an aging woman in the performance world, the intersectionality of her being a therapist and a clown mother - and what that even means, and of course, polyamory and relating and sexuality. The list goes on.  Connect with Maya and the Fou Fou Ha's: * Fou Fou Ha website [https://foufouha.net/] * Fou Fou Ha Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/foufouha]  A note from Dani: This podcast is a passion project for me and I love doing it, and I want to keep doing it!

Love Liberation & Self Commitment: Bre Reilly

I sit down with Sex Educator and Relationship Coach, Bre Reilly, as she shares about her own personal love liberation journey as well as the kind of work she does with her clients - including couples. Bre is someone who both creates and holds deep spaces for others to speak freely, feel deeply, and create relationships that reflect their real selves... but she also models this in her own life, which we dive deep into in this episode.  After a recent break-up, which also followed her divorce, she has chosen a path of self commitment, including a ceremony to make it official and commit to being her own primary partner. We get into how she's in this new phase of life feeling deeply empowered. Bre tells us about what this all means to her and why it's been so important in her own healing journey. I loved this vulnerable and insightful interview with Bre, and I know you all are going to love it too. We also get into topics around sexual exploration, polyamory, and just relating in general.  Connect with Bre: * On Instagram: @bre_reilly [https://www.instagram.com/bre_reilly/] * On her website: liberateyourlove.com [https://www.liberateyourlove.com/] A note from Dani: This podcast is a passion project for me and I love doing it, and I want to keep doing it!
