I am so, so excited to announce that the newer, better and extra very colorable edition of the YES, I AM: A TRANSFORMATIONAL COLORING BOOK FOR KIDDOS, GROWN-UPS + EVERYONE IN BETWEEN is (finally!!!) complete, and rearin' to dazzle you and everyone on your holy daze gift-giving list.
The Backstory:
YES, I AM is a compilation of every uplifting, high-vibing, inspirational doodle that went into the I Am Calendar, which - while a cult classic - wasn't exactly profitable. It seems that hand-drawn wall calendars weren't exactly flying off the shelves in the age of digital everything (ugh); and so it was that I turned the calendar into a "coloring book," thinking it would be a no-brainer, hotcake seller if there ever was one.
Turns out I was wrong, because it also turns out that calling a compilation of doodles a "coloring book," without paying any attention the colorability of said doodles isn't necessarily a bestselling strategy. Instead of branding it a failure and moving on, I decided to redraw each image for optimal colorability, thus giving this 444+ page labor of love a fighting chance to dazzle the world, and skyrocket to bestselling status.
The revised edition of YES, I AM surpasses my every wildest dream in terms of cute af, super very colorable awesomeness, while retaining the spazzy, messy, high-vibing adorableness that "colored" the OG version.
YES, I AM has been rigorously tested and approved by the most conservative of parentals, who all agree that it is absolutely appropriate for littlest of littles, unanimously bestowing a G-rating upon it. This means that YES, I AM is pretty much the perfect gift for everyone on your holy daze gift-giving list, kiddos included. Nab many, many copies here, immediately.
In this solo romp, we explore how selective facts, omission, and “expert authority” are used to manipulate public perception, why following the money changes the story, and how philanthropic funding influences what gets amplified, reframed, or erased.
I also dig into the persistent though unexamined belief in hierarchies of human value, and how they have this horrendous habit of dangerously disconnecting us from our humanity. I delve into the stupidity of social justice quotas, the power of cultivating collaborative coherence, and oodles more.
Occupational therapist (and championship pole dancer!), Kristen Gilbert, stopped by the podcast to discuss quantum biology, light hygiene, and the sacred art of slowing down.
I received a pitch today that perfectly illustrates how people unknowingly talk themselves out of alignment—simply through sloppy languaging.
This is the kind of thing we unpack deeply here:
How words shape power dynamics
How projection creates resistance
How precision opens doors
This video is a teaser for a solo episode coming next week where I go much deeper.
Curious what you notice as you watch 👀
Every word matters.

Hi Dani, I seem to remember an interview I think you did on your podcast with a guy who creates/sells private cell phone network services?
I am in the process of establishing my own local network and want to disconnect from the mainstream carriers. Any information or insights you have to share is appreciated. ~ Peace ❤
