Story & Lesson Highlights with Danitzia Singh of Elk Grove, Sacramento County

Danitzia Singh shared their story and experiences with us recently and you can find our conversation below.

Danitzia, we’re thrilled to have you with us today. Before we jump into your intro and the heart of the interview, let’s start with a bit of an ice breaker: What is something outside of work that is bringing you joy lately?
Soccer has really been bringing me joy lately. My kids both play competitive soccer, so I spend a lot of time on the sidelines cheering them on, which I absolutely love. My husband and I also play together on a coed team, and it’s such a fun way for us to stay active, get those endorphins flowing, and just enjoy ourselves outside of working and being parents. Soccer has kind of become a thread in our family story, we’ve even been lucky enough to travel to the World Cup twice. In 2014, we went to Brazil for our honeymoon, and then in 2018 we went all the way to Moscow, Russia to see the final. Those experiences, along with playing and watching the game as a family, have made soccer such a joyful and meaningful part of our lives.

Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
Hi, I’m Danitzia Singh, a content creator who focuses on family travel and lifestyle. I started blogging in 2019, and during the pandemic my content really grew as parents looked for fun and creative ways to keep their kids engaged at home and beyond. As a family, we love traveling, especially to Disney since we’re Magic Key holders, but we also seek out unique experiences that spark excitement and create lasting memories for our kids. I’m a firm believer that travel is one of the best teachers, and that some of the most valuable lessons and growth happen outside of the classroom. Through my content, I aim to inspire families to explore, learn, and connect together in meaningful ways.

Amazing, so let’s take a moment to go back in time. What did you believe about yourself as a child that you no longer believe?
As a child, I believed my worth was tied to how much I could accomplish and overachieve. Being the firstborn daughter of immigrants, with three younger siblings, I felt a constant responsibility to set the example, help my family succeed, and “get it right” in everything I did. I carried the weight of perfection, thinking that any misstep meant I was letting anyone down.

Over time, I’ve realized that my value isn’t measured by how much I please others or how perfectly I perform. Learning to honor my own needs, set boundaries, and embrace my voice has not only freed me from unnecessary pressure, but it’s also allowed me to achieve more than I ever thought possible. I’ve discovered that I can pursue ambitious goals, make meaningful contributions, and still maintain authentic relationships, showing up fully for both my family and myself. My accomplishments now feel empowering, not burdensome, because they are rooted in purpose, not perfection.

If you could say one kind thing to your younger self, what would it be?
I would tell my younger self “You are enough, exactly as you are. You don’t have to carry the weight of everyone else’s expectations to be loved or valued. Trust yourself, embrace your voice, and know that your dreams and accomplishments matter, even if you make mistakes along the way.”
Being the firstborn daughter of immigrants with three younger siblings, I often felt responsible for setting the standard and keeping everything together. I would tell her that it’s okay to take up space, to make choices for herself, and that doing so doesn’t make her any less loving or responsible, it makes her stronger, wiser, and even more capable of achieving great things.

I think our readers would appreciate hearing more about your values and what you think matters in life and career, etc. So our next question is along those lines. What are the biggest lies your industry tells itself?
One of the biggest lies many industries tell themselves is that success is purely about numbers, whether it’s sales, metrics, followers, or revenue, rather than the quality of impact or the authenticity of relationships. This can lead to short-term thinking, chasing trends, and undervaluing meaningful connections or purpose-driven work.

Another common lie is that perfection equals credibility. Many industries, especially creative or public-facing ones, put pressure on themselves to present flawless outcomes, but real progress and innovation come from experimentation, learning from mistakes, and embracing authenticity.

The last lie is that perfection equals credibility. Many of us chase flawless content and flawless aesthetics, when in reality, authenticity, vulnerability, and meaningful connections are what truly engage audiences and build trust.

Okay, so before we go, let’s tackle one more area. What light inside you have you been dimming?
The light I’ve been dimming is the fullness of my personality, my laughter, my playfulness, and the way I express myself. I’m naturally loud, animated, and silly around my husband and kids, but in other settings, I’ve often held back, worried about being judged or taking up too much space.

I’m learning to reclaim that light by letting my authentic self shine in all areas of my life, by laughing freely, showing my energy, and embracing the parts of me that bring joy to those around me.
