We were lucky to catch up with Danielle Gootman recently and have shared our conversation below.
Danielle, we’re thrilled to have you on our platform and we think there is so much folks can learn from you and your story. Something that matters deeply to us is living a life and leading a career filled with purpose and so let’s start by chatting about how you found your purpose.
I started my Instagram blog, @healthywithdani in March of 2020, during quarantine. This was the perfect time to start an Instagram blog because I was doing virtual school, and had a lot of free time at home. I wanted to have a place to share recipes, restaurants, and brands I love. I have been posting regularly on my Instagram account ever since. My goal and purpose for my social media is to inspire people to live a healthy, well-balanced life. I was able to find my purpose by exploring my passion for health, wellness and combining it with my passion for social media. As a college student, living a healthy and happy lifestyle is so important!
Great, so let’s take a few minutes and cover your story. What should folks know about you and what you do?
@healthywithdani is a health, wellness, travel, and lifestyle Instagram blog. I post recipes and share my favorite brands. . I create UGC content as well and review restaurants on my social media. I am proud that I am inspiring my followers to live a healthy, well-balanced life. I have been discovering what content works well and what drives the most engagement. When working with brands I love, my goal is to create unique content that will help grow the businesses I am working with.
Looking back, what do you think were the three qualities, skills, or areas of knowledge that were most impactful in your journey? What advice do you have for folks who are early in their journey in terms of how they can best develop or improve on these?
The three qualities that were most impactful on my journey were determination, creativity, and positivity! Staying positive and true to yourself is so important in life. My biggest piece of advice is to follow your dreams and passions.
One of our goals is to help like-minded folks with similar goals connect and so before we go we want to ask if you are looking to partner or collab with others – and if so, what would make the ideal collaborator or partner?
I collaborate and partner with restaurants, local businesses, and brands that have a social media presence already or want to grow their social media. I love to meet new people and create engaging content!
